He soon follows his father but quickly turns back to the table to grab leftover food. He even picks up a bowl for his family members, but his father yells at him. Still undeterred, the hungry and stubborn boy dashes back again to the dining table and eats as much as he can.
The footage has since gone viral, with netizens amazed by his unwavering commitment to food even in a life-threatening situation. One user commented, “Bro’s priorities are messed up.”
The video has sparked widespread amusement online, following the 4.3 magnitude quake that struck Qingcheng district in Qingyuan on the evening of June 23, 2025.
