Knife skills of girl, 6, come with heart-piercing tale

A number of commenters were amazed at how skillful a young girl could be in using a cleaver and plating fruits and veggies, with one saying she was "like a master chef. An adult can't even do that." Some expressed a lot of sympathy for the girl and her family. One of the highly liked comments said, "When some kids have just learned how to eat by themselves, other kids have already learned how to cook for the family."

Some viewers took action to help them. Clothes, shoes, toys and snacks were sent to Liu's home. Two large-scale charitable donations have been held online to help with the children's treatment costs, and more than 800,000 yuan has been raised.

With the help of these kindhearted people, Liu Limei will return to kindergarten. She was also kind enough to say, "When I have enough money, I would change another house for my little brother, one where there are no rats." Given the hot and humid summer, the family has moved to a simple bamboo house built by Liu's father where rats and snakes are frequent visitors.

However, Liu is still too young to understand everything surrounding her social media sensation and she just seemed to have a lot of fun showing her fancy knife skills before the camera. But her father understands that such a sensation will not go on forever and he only wants it to last as long as possible to bring more help to the distressed family.
