A two-year-old girl in China has captivated mainland social media by making a heartwarming speech on her mother’s birthday.
On December 24, the little girl, nicknamed Niu, started her cute blessings speech by saying: “It is my mother’s birthday today. Thank you for being born 400 years ago.”
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.”
Their exchange between the mother and daughter from Beijing has received more than 1 million likes on Douyin alone.
“I cried when hearing the girl say ‘thanks for waiting for me after you were born’,” one online observer said.
