A blurb from AVIC Aircraft Strength Research Institute. Long-term fatigue load testing of C919 is scheduled to last 144,000 cycles, about three times the expected service life of the aircraft. I'm not sure what each cycle is consisted of.

The long-overdue official announcement is finally here. C919 Natural icing airworthiness certification test flight, completed in China, February 17.

2022 At 12:15 on February 17, 2022, as C919 slipped on the runway, its airworthiness certification natural icing test flight ended. After the Airbus A350 and the Russian MC-21, the C919 became the third aircraft in the world to complete the natural icing flight test verification required by the FAR25-121 amendment to the Federal Aviation Regulations.

Uhh... I don't think "slipped on the runway" is quite the translation to go with.
