In Changchun, Jilin on March 7, 2024, a father, shirtless and adorned with black marker scribbles, cradles his adorable 3-year-old daughter Niannian, who holds a black marker.

Clips of the dad's marker-covered body and hairpins from his daughter's accessories prompt curiosity online.

Responding to inquiries, the dad explains, "While I was cooking in the kitchen, my daughter quietly drew on the walls with her sister. Despite my advice not to draw randomly, when she saw that marker marks could be wiped off, she happily continued. At this stage, kids enjoy doing what they're told not to until they find it uninteresting. Then, positive education works well, and the process is joyful."
