A dad burst into tears after realising his daughter placed her waistcoat over him when he was asleep in Shanghai, China.

CCTV footage captured in Wang’s restaurant kitchen showed that his daughter came to find he was asleep alone, took off her own waistcoat and put it onto his back.

Wang, who provided the video, said he runs a restaurant and there were not many customers that night so he fell asleep while planning the menu in the kitchen.

When he woke up and saw his daughter's clothes on his back, he was so moved and burst into tears, thinking of the difficulty of maintaining the restaurant during the pandemic.

Sit-down dining has been hit hard by the pandemic outbreak since 2020 in China. It was the main source of income for many restaurants. Many restaurants in Shanghai now have shifted their focus to delivery services, but they are still struggling to survive.

The video was filmed on November 21.

11月21日，上海闵行。爸爸晚上在后厨工作时不小心睡着，4岁女儿看到后脱掉自己身上穿的马甲为其披上，爸爸醒来后瞬间泪崩。当事人王先生称，他经营着一家餐饮店，当天晚上不太忙，在厨房规划菜单时一不留神就睡着了。醒来看到女儿衣服披在自己身上很感动，没有控制住自己的情绪，近期可能是生活中有太多不顺意，疫情原因也堆积了很多情绪，看到女儿给自己披的衣服一下子没绷住，感觉一切都是值得的，生活虽然很苦，幸福也很简单。（视频由王先生本人提供）
