- A girl aged 9 becomes a news story in China after a video showing her cooking skills during the summer holidays goes viral
- The girl has no formal training, but after two years of practice can cook many Chinese and Western dishes, says her family
A story about a nine-year-old girl in China who cooked three meals a day for her mother while at home for the school holidays has gone viral on mainland social media.
The girl, named Longlong, lives in Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, eastern China, said she cooks for her mother, surnamed Feng, as a way of showing her passion for cooking and her love for her mother, Chinese video-sharing platform Shanhai Video reported.
Since China’s school summer break started in July, the third grade primary student has been cooking at home instead of going out and having fun with her friends.
Longlong has been cooking for more than two years without any professional culinary training, it’s all self-taught, her mother said.
“She likes eating and watching food shows. Whatever she wants to cook, she can make it,” Feng said.
