China dad quits job to sell fried rice near daughter’s school after she complains about food
Doting father leaves position at barbecue outlet, learns how to cook other dishes, travels hundreds of kilometres to meet daughter’s needs
A father in China quit his job and travelled 900 km to set up a food stall near his daughter’s school after she complained that the dishes in its canteen lacked the “taste of home”.
The concerned father has trended on mainland social media as a result of his actions.
His daughter, Li Bingdi, is a second-year student at Jilin Normal University in Siping, Jilin province, northeastern China.
Over the past year, Li has complained that she did not like the food at her school, which she said was unhygienic and did not have the “taste of home”, Dahe News reported.
As a result, her father resigned from his job at a barbecue restaurant in Tianjin, 900 km south of Siping, and went to southern China to learn how to cook fried rice and noodles.
He then rented a stall near the gates of his daughter’s school.
Li senior’s fried rice and noodles business made its debut in mid-October.
