According to SCMP, the incident occurred at a walking street in Shandong Province, central China not long ago.
In the clip, the daughter angrily scolded her father: "Other parents can buy their children an iPhone. Why doesn't his father have money? ".
After being heavily reprimanded, the father knelt down and shook his head as if he was blaming himself for not having enough money to provide his child with what the girl wanted.
At this time, the daughter continued to scream and thought her father's actions were embarrassing: " gets up, get up quickly! ".
A person passing by on the Zhong street standing nearby said that he had followed the entire conversation between the father and son for 5 minutes and felt sorry for the father. On the other hand, he directed his anger at his daughter's actions.
The clip went viral on social media in China, attracting 91 million views on Weibo and 6 million views on Douyin. Most netizens condemned the daughter's actions and criticized the father for not properly educating her child.
Consumptionism has had negative impacts on young people. They are so obsessed with material commodities that they ignore the hardship of their parents. Its a social drama, said a Weibo user.
"I feel sad for both father and son. The daughter was too acted upon, but the father's knees were not suitable. Of course, this father is a pity, his actions will make the girl even more rebellious.
The father did not point out the child's mistakes. He raised his children badly," another netizen commented.
Previously, cases of parents and grandparents troping their children have caused a stir in public opinion many times.
In 2019, a 10-year-old boy in Jiangxi Province (China) grabbed his mother's hair when she refused to buy him toys at a shopping mall.
Last year, a teenage boy angered his grandmother for kicking and beating her when she asked him to stop playing with a mobile phone and give him his phone.
The incidents have sparked controversy over the way children are raised in China in particular and in society in general.
