Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are energetic transients in radio bands from cosmological distance with unknown astrophysical origin. In the past decade, around 600 reports about FRBs have been published. As FRBs show very diverse properties in observations, theorists have proposed over 50 models to decipher the puzzling phenomenon. This talk will introduce FRBs and discuss how astronomers solve this puzzle.
