Recently, a short video clip appeared on social media recording a father talking to his daughter through the camera, attracting more than 1 million views on social media. In front of the camera, the father said to his daughter: "Why didn't you pick up the phone when I called? Kim Anh, today we made a big chicken hotpot. We made a big chicken hotpot, and a lot of vegetables, two baskets of vegetables."
The father's gentle face, looking at the camera with longing and expectant eyes, and his warm and sincere voice moved many viewers, especially women who had married far away.
Under the post, many comments expressed admiration for the daughter who was loved and cared for by her father. Others expressed sympathy for the parents whose daughter married far away.
"If you still have your parents, cherish them, my friends! Old people often feel lonely and miss their children and grandchildren. Life is unpredictable, so try to cherish every moment with your family" - Commented by Duong Thuy Nhi.
"I feel happy because I'm married but still live close to my parents. There are times when my parents scold and get angry with me, but then they make up first. That's why I see that no one loves their children more than their parents. Reading your comments made me cry, I feel sorry for those whose parents are gone or who no longer have a father or mother" - Su Kem commented.
According to the investigation, the girl who posted the video on social media is Nguyen Thi Van Anh (commonly known as Kim Anh, born in 1998, Thanh Mien district, Hai Duong province). Van Anh is married and lives in Phu Cu district (Hung Yen province).
Ms. Van Anh has been married for 7 years and has 2 cute twin sons. Although they are from different provinces, the distance from her home in Thanh Mien district (Hai Duong province) to her husband's home in Phu Cu district (Hung Yen province) is only 6km.
According to Ms. Van Anh, her father is Mr. Nguyen Van Toan (born in 1978, Thanh Mien district, Hai Duong province). Previously, Mr. Toan worked as a miner, but after the accident, his health declined so he only stayed home to do light work. However, when he missed his grandchildren or had delicious food, he would ride his bicycle over to his children and grandchildren.
Sharing with Lao Dong, Ms. Van Anh said: "My father is a person who likes to take care of his family, is emotional and loves his children and grandchildren. Before the day I posted the video, my father called us home for dinner, but because he was busy with work, we couldn't come home.
The next day, I turned on the camera and saw my dad calling me to come home for dinner. I just thought of posting the video and making a note to tell him I'd come home for New Year's. I didn't think the video would get so much interaction. Hearing my dad say that, I was very touched."
