A guy named Ruben, who is a New Zealand guy with a Guiness record under his belt in which he easily breaks 15 pieces of tempered glass erected in a row. Of course he wore protection equipment like helmet to complete his job, otherwise he was a Chinese kungfu master or a superman.

But in the challenge set by China's national TV broadcaster, the first glass was so tough that it nearly began to make him doubt the purpose of human life. The tempered glass made in China was too tough and when he failed to break the glass within 20 seconds as required, he failed the challenge that he had thought was an easy cake. The biggest embarrassment was that he was the only guest that could not achieve the goal out of those who came to China to attend that ceremony.
