A two-year-old girl in China has captivated mainland social media by making a heartwarming speech on her mother’s birthday.

In a viral video, the surprised and slightly embarrassed mother jokingly chided her daughter by saying: “It is not that long ago”, Jiupai News reported.
Undaunted little Niu then said: “You came to this world first so I can come too. Thanks for waiting for me after you were born.”
Her mother’s instinctive response was simply: “I love you!”
The girl then uses her hands to make a heart in front of her face as she says: “Happy birthday mum! This heart is for you.”
