Runaway China daughter shocked by ‘teddy bear’ dad who travels 1,000km to reconcile
Confusion turns to joy after stunned young woman is approached by giant cartoon character with a surprise at workplace
A video of a father in China wearing a teddy bear costume to deliver flowers to his daughter at work as a peace offering after a family row has trended on mainland social media.
The visit was a complete surprise to her, as was his outfit, when he pitched up at her place of employment in Guangzhou, Guangdong province in southern China in mid-August, Jiaodian Video reported.
His aim was to make up with his daughter following an argument about setting up blind dates for her.
She had walked out of the family home that day and they had not seen each other for six months since.
The daughter, whose name was not released in the report, works for a small taxi company. She was amazed when a big cartoon bear appeared in front of her, presented her with a bunch of flowers then hugged her.
The company’s surveillance video shows her momentarily hesitating, then leaning forward to hug the bear, as her father removes the costume’s head and reveals his identity.
She is taken aback for a moment before yelling, “Dad, what are you doing here?” then running to him and holding him close as they both cry tears of joy.
