She's such a sweet and matured kid. Loving this family.

Child labor never looked so adorable!
@@ForAnAngelrather have your kids stay home any play video games?
@@ethan167Kids should be in school.
Her expressive way of communicating lightens the atmosphere and seems to put her parents and their clients at ease. Such a sweet and caring little girl!
Absolutely! She is such a bright and compassionate little girl, and her presence truly adds a special touch to her parents' foot spa shop. It's heartwarming to see how she helps bridge the communication gap and creates a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. 💖
I am deaf too. It is a blessing to have a mature and sweet girl like her for helping her deaf parents. Deaf itself is only words. You can do anything hearing people can do except hear😊
Sending Prayers and best wishes❤ hope you're doing well❤
@@julesoxana Thanks for saying so
Can you understand her or is her sign language different to yours?
@@personalcheeses8073 yes, completely different

Amazing girl! You can tell that she has loving, responsible and respectful parents. The child always takes after the parent!
Total in agreement!❤
Wrong. I disagree. A child does not always anything. Learned behaviors does not a character make.
My late husband was deaf. I started teaching our daughter sign language when she was a newborn. She made her first sign at 7 months old to ask for milk. She understood the sign as early as 4 months. I have a video of her reactions when I signed milk. Her sister recognized her fingerspelled name and the abcs before her 2nd birthday. Kids are more capable of learning then adults realize.
That's great that you teach your kids asl one day they will be glad that you teach them.
i wish it were taught in schools, it is a very useful skill for anyone.
@@colorbugoriginals4457 maybe there are asl in school by parents or students choices why don't you ask someone in school? Find out.
Their minds are literally like sponges.
Neuroplasticity in children is recognised by science. This explains why children and young adults are very impressionable and have the ability to just learn stuff quickly.
My father is completely deaf, I am so proud of this little girl. Very sweet.
Sending Prayers and best wishes❤ hope he and you and your loved ones are doing well❤
@@julesoxana Thank you very much!❤
@@julesoxanathey don't need your prayers, that's rude. There's nothing wrong with them.
I still think it would be amazing for there to be a universal sign language that’s taught in all schools around the world. Would bridge the deaf community into the rest of society and would allow little to no language barriers when traveling internationally
People tried this with spoken language Esperanto but it didn't work. I don't think there will ever be a universal language. Even body language is different all over the world.
I agree. But fck, say that about english and the response will be demonic lol
There actually is. Two men, one from Ukraine and the other Japanese offering shelter to the war homeless, have re-begun teaching international sign language. Most students there are grateful because the level of their Japanese language is on different levels. Yes, we tried it before. We can do it again. Global communication can not leave everybody behind.@@CalmoOmlac
Let's try being less demonic. Maybe all the deaf people should move to a country where international sign language is taught then rule the world. Options, there are always options.@@goawaypleasethanks
@@embroideredheathen8825 are you a mexican't? or a mexiCAN?
My favorite thing about this is that the natural confidence and helpfulness of this child, is the result of her feeling deeply loved. ❤
A lovely child indeed! I do hope she becomes that doctor and helps more people!
Your words are so beautiful♡Love to you from New York♡
有爱一家。
I hope she finds what makes her happy and finds a career down that path. If she would truly be happy, being a doctor, I'm all for it. However, if it's just to make the parents happy, no thanks.
@@northernsnow6982I'm sensing a _lot_ of responsibility being placed on those little shoulders...
@AC-ih7jc she has broader shoulders at that young age than most adults out there. Thankfully, just because you don't like responsibilities doesn't make a difference in this little girls life.
I have plenty of responsibilities in my life, including being responsible for other peoples lives. None of those responsibilities make me unhappy. They bring more meaning to my life.
Besides, who are you to determine what her abilities are? You obviously don't understand what children are capable of. Nor can you tell that this child enjoys what she is doing, by helping her mom in the kitchen. Her mom even tells her she can go play if she wants, but she just wants to keep helping. When it's the childs choice, how is that placing any type of weight on a kids shoulders that they can't handle? At least this mother has the patience to let her daughter help, in order to teach her how to live.
The world is not a big scary place that is out to get you. Well, unless you allow it to be. Just because you choose to let responsibilities scare you, don't assume everyone has to do the same.
好感動喔，小女孩妳很棒啊！妳是爸爸的小幫手，很厲害的助理
True
This family look happier than most.
Correct.
One's limitations doesn't define the person, but rising above it, definitely does.
It’s adorable how expressive she is!
What a blessing to her parents.
What a shame they're not leaving her any time or energy to be a blessing to herself.
There are a hundred angels residing in that tiny. She has so much love to give, she is radiating like a comet !
I may not be deaf but I can tell when a kid is engaged and skilled in conversation and Miumiu is very skilled at it! She's really invested in communication for both parties despite it being a huge job for a child her age! What an incredible soul! She's a living blessing!
I was overwhelmed when the dad hugged her and started crying!
She's so beloved. Wonderful to see.
I hope that girl gets down time to hust be herself, play with toys, relax, and take pressures off. Very important ❤
I am sure when she grows up she will cherish all the amazing time she spent with her parents and for being such an amazing daughter. At least I wish I did.
This was my thought too. I empathize with how secluded the deaf community is from the rest of society, but a child should not have to be an interpreter for a business. Either hire and pay a real interpreter, or utilize technology to communicate quickly. At this point, they're just using her for free labor.
It's healthy for children to eventually grow away from the parents. Spending all day working as a translator, which is exhausting, in your parents' store is exploitation.
Real life Ha Eun Gyeol? This girl is amazing. Her parents must be very proud. Immensely responsible and mindful from such a young age. I hope she is showered with blessings, and that she is able to both enjoy her childhood and grow up achieveing all the things she wants to. ❤
who is ha eun gyeol? some kdrama's character?
@@unwantedperson8711 Yeah, he is one of the main leads from a kdrama called - Twinkling Watermelon. Would definitely recommend it, if you're interested!
Such an inspiration to others. She will go far in life. Her parents have done a great job raising her😊
What other forms of daily, routine child exploitation do you think are inspiring?
I teared up a bit after seeing her smile, what a beautiful kid
Wonderful! My daughter taught my granddaughter to sign so she could communicate before she could talk. As a young baby, she caught on very quickly and there was no crying over non-communication when she wanted her bottle, etc. So amazing.
There's a girl who's been working at a Chinese store here in the US. Since 4 years old. Now she's like 8. And I swear she acts like an adult. And understands order requests. She even grabs chilled/frozen seafood out of the cases.
That's the best to invest in our kids then to let them sent all their day on gadgets that's tea Hi them to be criminals etc
what language is this?@@iamable106
She may want to do something else with her life one day. I hope they appreciate the sacrifice she is making today, and will do the same for her later. 🙏🏽💜
Judging by her vivacious personality, she would have a wonderful bedside manner as a doctor.
Very touching in every moments. Hope they live happily ever after.
She's really fast and expressive!
Adorable. But man she’s quick! Her communication skills are so impressive. (Edited as I’d said “I just hope she’s also going to school” before it mentioned “after school” )
Beautiful story. She's older than her years and would make a superb physician.
She was sent to her parents to be their blessing❤
I’m deaf and I do ASL (American Sign Language). It’s awesome that Niuniu is doing CSL (Chinese Sign Language ) to translate her parents!
So, you exploit children for translation, instead of hiring a real translator? You do get that she's doing this every single day after school. This kid never has a single free minute.
Such a smart child..... blessings ❤
Love comes to us in the most precious ways. Our children are a reflection of what we pour into their hearts. Love, kindness, giving, caring, and forgiveness is the greatest of these. May we all have a beautiful smile on our face right now!
What a sweet little girl. Has a lovely bond with her parents ❤️
Precious little girl. So animated and full of life. Game changer for her parents. Too bad she is losing an innocent childhood aspect of life but hopefully it turns out well for her in China.
O lord please bless this little girl ... Pls love her as your own daughter lord....protect her from her future
Give her more blessings for her parent and her health ...
In the name of Our lord Jesus Christ...Amen
Their daughter became their ear that can help them be able to communicate with other people😊😊😊
That's so sweet and wholesome at the same time ❤️❤️😢
🇹🇼

@@user-xp7nk9dw8d what
This child/entrepreneur is a Pro . . . . what a beautiful sight . . . . what an Awesome Blessing this child is to her parents.
Very special young girl with patience to learn how to communicate for her parents who are impaired. Not hearing yet having their darling daughter to help them. Secured for life❤❤❤😊
She is adorable. I love the faces she makes when she signs.
So inspiring ❤ She is such a compassionate litte girl!
What an amazing young lady. She seems to enjoy what she's doing and gets to spend time with her family at the same time.
I absolutely love learning Sign Language because it’s so intertwined with daily life. You might not have been taught any sign language and yet sometimes you use a sign without knowing it. It’s so expressive & beautiful to see people truly engaged in LOOKING At each other when communicating because sadly today’s hearing community’s can speak to each other and not even look at the person like they are not even there.
She is pure joy, what a treasure♥️ thank you very much SCMP for sharing this sweet inspirational story.
This is amazing. And he hugged her! I love that the younger Asian parents, like me, are able to show affection.
She seems to have a great future ahead. Translating does come with its own challenges, as there aren't a lot of words that can be easily translated to English.
there's no English.... she is Chinese in China with Chinese customers
I like she’s still retaining a little of her childhood because whilst doing her homework like most kids she pretends to listen but not actually looking to see what her father is signing 😂❤
She's so young and it's sweet that she generously gets to retain 'a little of her childhood'? She should not be a convenient tool for her parents AT ALL! Our society really does not know where covert child abuse starts.
What a little hero!
What an adorable little girl. Learning to sign for her parents is wonderful. She deserves everything she wishes for in life.
She's gonna be the smartest and the most intelligent girl.
Sooo proud of her!❣️
It's giving me Twinkling Watermelon vibes and I'm hear for it! She's so cute!
Right now These parents are so blessed
She is a reminder that the future has in store a lot to be hopeful for 💫
Words cannot describe how awesome this kid is
I went to school with a gurl who's parents where deaf and she thought it was the norm until she got older 😂😂😂 this girl is sweet ❤❤❤
it's crazy how some people can be so mature and understand at such a young age, I could never be.
When a kid is forced to be mature that young, they wind up either going into a major depression as a teenager or rebelling and getting into drugs or worse. This child is being exploited. Forcing a kid to do an adult job is exploitation.
@@kell_checks_in It's a definite possibility, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. In my opinion it depends on attitude. If the parents express their gratitude to their daughter and provide her with opportunities to discover herself outside of those immediate responsibilities, it might turn out alright. If they take her for granted however and _expect_ her to always be around to help then that's where the problems start.
You're right that I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. But in my opinion, feeling valued, helpful and productive even as a child vs. feeling suffocated by unwanted obligations can be two sides of the same coin.
her parents must be so proud of her. which is more than i can say for myself
The parents raised this smart, caring little girl right. She will grow up to be a very successful person as a result.
Actually, no. The way they're going, she's either going to be socially stunted and never leave their house or she's going to rebel from having to work all day long and wind up failing in school, getting into drugs or worse.
it is amazing how smart our kids really are
She is an angel in the family ❤
Wow! She’s precious
Her parents have raised her well. I wish their business lots of success, especially so that their earnings can be used to finance her future studies. May she succeed in school, remain healthy and happy.
You can see the intelligence shining through this great kid. So great to see this family
She's a blessing to her parents and so much better than me. 😁
Beautiful little girl and such a special family bond.❤
This child deserves an award. So skilful and talented in her own way. She will grow up to be an amazing person. ❤😊
She is what is known as a CODA (Child Of Deaf Adults). I'm guessing that this little girl will grow up working in her parents' business for a long time, but I hope she is able to find her own life as well. There was a great movie called CODA that won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2022 that I highly recommend. It shows some of the challenges of being a translator for your deaf parents, with your parents always relying on you. I think it is still available to stream on Apple TV.
I watched a Spanish movie about this sort of thing once. In the movie the child struggled to go out and fulfil her own ambitions because while her deaf father was encouraging her to go out and do what she wants, her deaf mother knew that they'd struggle without her and made it known.
Amazing story.
With love from India ❤❤❤❤
Go back to india plz. Fix your country
Beautiful little girl.
Our children are our future ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💕 💖
Some kids are just incredible. She's an angel!
Such a brilliant young girl! I hope she accomplishes what she wants in life!
This is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
What a wonderful clever nice child
That's a special little girl best wishes in what ever she does
That little girl is such a sweet, cutie! And a blessing to her parents. I will pray that she does become a doctor 🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing!
❤🥰 they are blessed to have a kind and loving daughter 🙏
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen!
such a child is a gift of fate, it is a great luck
She’s an awesome little one, deserving of all the praise I’m sure she gets.
What an amazing, smart, & cute kiddo! She's better w/communicating, interacting, & helping people than most 3x her age. They could have options listed on a sign, for the client to be able to point to what they want but, I bet customers would be sad to miss her.
She's very smart. Hope she will grow up nicely and support her family and those in needs.
I applaud that little girl, she is a pioneer and her future is bright. 👏👏👏
I used ASL to the point whereby many think I'm deaf.
My first girlfriend also thought I was deaf.
She was surprised when I spoke to her.
She is amazing❤ Wishing them all the best and keeping them in my Prayers❤
I love this little girl! So precious! And she’s amazing!
Holding back the tears ❤
What an amazing daughter! How incredible!
Bless her little heart and soul. 🙏What a sweet little angel she is.👼
what a helpful young girl, also incredibly smart, need more people like her in the world!
Incredible little girl. May life bring her abundance
Even if Niuniu isn't able to become a doctor, she'll definitely find work as a medical sign language translator.
What an amazing child so capable and so loving!
She is not a little kid... She is an angel.
So smart, hardworking and adorable little girl. Age 7, I am still clueless towards my surroundings. But I do back massage everyday my father comes home from work tired and wake up at 7.30 everyday help my mom wash cloths and watch my mom do cooking at dinner time. I too very hardworking like her at home. That's how I pick up my mom cooking very young.
always getting myself teary eyed on how sweet this family is. such a beautiful sight
Well, who else gonna help his daddy earned money for their life. She did her part.
She’s such a sweet and big helper ❤ I’m so proud of NiuNiu
Take charge kind of girl!! She is going places!
Hard working, smart, and helps her folks. ❤️
She is adorable. They work hard for what they want to achieve.
What smart beautiful little girl! I wish her and her family the very best💜💕
