Yesterday, a 3-year-old girl from Jiangxi Province nicknamed "Little Swallow" (real name: Zhang Xiaoyan) performed an acrobatic feat of walking on a tightrope above the heads of tigers at the Yancheng Wildlife Park in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. After successfully walking 50 meters on the wire, Mr. Zhang, the director of Jiangxi Wonder Child Art Troupe where "Little Swallow" belongs, announced that in three days, "Little Swallow" will attempt to break a record by walking 100 meters and apply for the Guinness World Record for "Walking Tightrope Unarmed Above Tigers". Meanwhile, "Little Swallow" will set up a one-month challenge platform at the Yancheng Wildlife Park in Changzhou, inviting people from all over the world to come and challenge her. The winner will be rewarded with 1 million yuan on the spot.

The location of this challenge is set in the self-driving area tiger garden of the Yancheng Wildlife Park in Changzhou. The challenger "Little Swallow" needs to walk unarmed on a 130-meter-long steel wire suspended above six Northeast Tigers in the tiger garden. The wire is less than 9 meters above the ground-level tigers. What makes people more nervous for her is that her safety protection measure is merely a thin rope.
