The main character of the story is Yang Binglin, also known by the nickname 'Game Grandpa'.

Despite his advanced age, he maintains a strong passion for video games, especially survival horror titles like the Resident Evil series.

What surprised the community wasn't just his completion of Resident Evil Requiem, a notoriously difficult game, but also the way he conquered it. While most modern gamers turn to YouTube or forums for solutions, Game Grandpa chose a completely traditional method: meticulously writing everything down by hand.

From complex puzzles and map diagrams to enemy tactics, he meticulously recorded everything in his notebooks. This attention to detail and perseverance helped him overcome every challenge in Resident Evil Requiem, a journey that demanded keen observation, logical thinking, and extremely tight resource management.

It's no coincidence that Yang Binglin's story quickly went viral. Previously, he was listed in the Guinness World Records as the world's oldest male streamer, and also impressed by completing over 300 different games. Among them are big names like God of War 3 – clear evidence of his rare experience and perseverance.

Resident Evil Requiem is widely regarded as one of the franchise's best games, combining pure horror with fast-paced action. However, it also comes with a complex gameplay system, from combat and puzzles to item management, all requiring players to maintain a high level of concentration. The fact that a 91-year-old man could overcome all these challenges without any assistance is truly remarkable.

On social media, numerous comments expressed admiration for Game Grandpa. Many people said that he not only beat a game but also shattered age stereotypes within the gaming community. Meanwhile, some others admitted that they, despite being much younger, still relied on tutorials to complete the game.

Notably, with Capcom having announced plans to release DLC for Resident Evil Requiem, it's highly likely that Duong Binh Lam's journey is far from over. He himself has affirmed that he will continue to be involved with the series as long as new games are released.

More than just a personal achievement, Game Grandpa's story carries a much deeper meaning. In the context of the ever-growing and expanding gaming industry, the image of a 91-year-old man persevering through difficult challenges has become a symbol of the boundless spirit of passion.
