Millions Praise Crossing Guard Who Waltzed with Sad Girl Whose Mom Arrived Late to School
Millions of his Chinese countrymen have taken to social media to applaud the moment this kindergarten security guard began to waltz with a child who was left behind by her mom that day.
The guard, named Liu Jie, saw that the mother of one girl at a kindergarten in eastern Shandong Province was late picking her up.
The 5-year-old, nicknamed Little Peach, was upset, and Liu, who studied classical and contemporary dance in his youth, knew just how to cheer her up.
“I want you to go home happily, and your mother will not feel guilty anymore,” he wrote in a video on his Douyin (Chinese TikTok) account.
He was so fleet that her feet barely touched the floor as the former professional dancer led the girl in a twirling waltz, although that could be because he was holding her.
Liu started working at the small kindergarten 8 years ago as a security guard. Reportedly a workaholic, he got the job because he loves children and because he lives in Shandong taking care of his elderly parents, while his wife manages the family business.
Liu abandoned his dancing career in 1993 after economic liberalization created a craze of business startups. Liu’s succeeded, and his wife and children live in Guangzhou managing it.
Reporter Fran Liu who shared the man’s story in South China Morning Post, wrote that he remembers the name of every child and parent who comes to pick them up.
