Weight loss: girl in China turns tables on father who thinks she is fat, telling him in viral video he doesn’t need to shed kilos
- A loving daughter mistakes father’s desire for her to lose weight as his own in a viral video on mainland social media
- A growing number of Chinese parents want to have daughters as they believe girls are more caring than sons
A confident little girl in China has become a source of social media delight after she was filmed telling her father, who is secretly making her walk to lose weight, he does not need to slim down and she loves him anyway.
The father of the unnamed girl, from Shandong province in eastern China, believed his daughter to be overweight. After dinner on one Sunday the father accompanied his daughter for a walk along a nearby river. The father did not want to hurt his daughter’s feelings, so he decided to keep silent about his motivation, Xinhua news agency reported.
However, the daughter mistakenly guessed her father’s motivation for suggesting the walk as his own desire to lose weight.
In a video filmed by the mother, the girl is seen strolling along a river while talking to her father.
“Let’s go for a gentle stroll every day after having dinner, OK?,” suggests the father.
“Is it to slim down?,” the daughter then asks her father.
The father sounded surprised as he did not expect his daughter to raise the subject but acknowledged this was his motivation. His daughter then turned the tables on the stunned father.
“You don’t have to lose weight, I love you no matter what you will become,” the daughter says.
