A sanitation worker showed off his remarkable skill of creating rabbit shadows with his hands, making it appear as if they were nibbling on grass in northern China.

The impressive video was filmed in Jilin City in Jilin Province on May 22, 2023.

The elderly gentleman revealed that this unique talent was a gift from his father, learned during his childhood when their home had not yet embraced electricity, let alone television.

To entertain and delight him under the dim glow of a kerosene lamp, his father would craft these playful shadows, a whimsical tradition the sanitation worker has proudly mastered and continues to share.

近日，吉林省吉林市，一位环卫大爷用手势影子表演兔子吃草，栩栩如生。据视频拍摄者程先生介绍，环卫大爷60多岁了，大爷说这项技能还是小时候从自己父亲那里学的，小时候家里还没通电，更别说看电视了。自己的父亲就经常在煤油灯下用这种手势的影子来逗自己开心，自己慢慢也就学会了。
