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

During the past two years, the broken family has lived in a temporary dwelling found through Liu's aunt. To take some of the burden off her father, Liu started helping out with household chores when she was only 4 years old. The father also strived to find a way out of the family's difficult situation as he took his children to the hospital and farmed.

Following the advice of a grocery clerk, the father started to post short videos about his two sick children on Kuaishou since July 4, 2018. At first, his videos did not attract much attention.

One day in the beginning of 2019, the father stumbled on his daughter's talent in cooking. Liu Limei copied her father and cubed the carrot. Then he taught his daughter how to chop food through his own guidance and online videos. The little girl soon could chop, dice, mince and carve food like a pro.

Since then, Liu Guocheng has begun to share online his daughter's food-cutting videos, which have taken off in popularity.
