According to Chinese media Dahe News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Livedi, a second-year student at Jilin Normal University in Jilin Province, China, has complained over the past year that cafeteria food is unsanitary and has no taste like home-cooked meals.
Upon hearing this, his father, Li Bin, quit his job at a barbecue restaurant in Tianjin, went to the southern part of the country to learn fried rice and noodle cooking skills, rented a small stall near his daughter's school gate, 900 kilometers from home, and began his business in mid-October.
On the first day, the business was not good enough to sell only seven bowls. It was less than 70 yuan (about 14,000 won) earned by her daughter from tutoring a day.
The daughter, who felt sorry for this, shared her father's story with the school community, and from the next day, students, faculty and staff, and nearby residents flocked, creating a long line. Some customers purposely ordered a lot to support their father.
The daughter, who is helping the work, said "Last month, my father said it was difficult to do business because of the cold weather, but now he said he was warm because he was busy with his work."
She added "Dad didn't want to make a lot of money, but his purpose was to make a living and take care of me" He said "He said he felt at ease just staying here"
After losing my mother to leukemia a few years ago, we have been relying on each other. I was thinking about which city to go to before going to college, but my dad said 'I'll follow you wherever you go' I kept that promise"Many people express their father's love as big as a mountain, but to me, his love is as warm as the sun."
Netizens are not only selling fried rice, but also sharing their father's pure love", It shows reactions such as "'It's the food my daughter eats, so the hygiene must be certain' and "'It's more than a true daughter-in-law'.
