- Many praised the father for being an exemplary parent
A Chinese father’s support for his four-year-old daughter’s ambition to become a cleaner has been hailed by internet users as “a textbook for parents”.
The man, surnamed Chen, paused for a second when the girl who was reading picture books told him that she wanted to be a cleaner when she grew up, a viral video showed.
The father, a resident of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, southern China, can be seen feeding his nine-month-old younger daughter rice cereal in the video.
He asked his elder daughter why she wanted to become a cleaner. “Because a cleaner sweeps the floor. Therefore, our Earth will become very clean,” she answered.
“If you want to be a cleaner, what do you need to do now?” the father asked.
“I need to be clean, then I can sweep the floor,” replied his daughter.
“A cleaner works hard. So from now on, you should form a habit of working hard,” said the father.
