Who was the first to discover the new continent?

According to Liang Shu's textual research, historians believe that in 458 AD, Hui Shen, a monk of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, traveled along the Aleutian Islands in North America, Alaska, Mexico in Central America and Peru in South America, and recorded his roaming in Mexico in detail. This shows that Hui Shen had discovered America at that time, and his discovery was earlier than Columbus' 1492 1034.
