Kung Fu masters are renowned for their feats of physical prowess and endurance, but one woman recently took it a step further.
52-year-old Zhang Tingting took up martial arts when she was 17 and always felt her hair gave her power.
Recently she decided that her calling as a nun was more important and hatched a plan to go out in a burst of strength.
She's pulled cars before, but this time she dragged eight one-ton vehicles about 30 meters.
It was short of the Guinness record of 100 meters.
Still, she said she wasn't disappointed.
"I'm very happy. For me it's not a question of success or defeat. Although I didn't pull them far, I am still happy. It's all experience."
Then with monks and nuns around her, she had her head shaved.
She plans to devote herself to life in the monastery, but says she will still practice other forms of kung fu.
