A 16-year-old boy in China is gaining appreciation for his heartfelt message to his mother where he urged her to prioritise self-love. The teenager, Wang Nanhao, shared his thoughts in a conversation with his mother which was captured in a video that has gone viral. According to the South China Morning Post, the discussion took place at their home in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Wang’s mother said she didn’t want to buy expensive things for herself because she preferred to save money for him.
Wang strongly disagreed with her mindset. “Mum, your mindset is far too harmful! You deserve a coat that costs 1,000 yuan (US$140) and face cream worth 3,000 yuan,” he said. “If you feel pressured to make those purchases, that’s my father’s issue, or mine,” he added.
He went on to explain that the most valuable lesson he had learned from her was not about doing endless household chores or making sacrifices but about her ability to seek happiness in any situation.
Recalling a special moment, Wang spoke about how his mother’s passion for the piano had inspired him. “I remember when you developed an interest in the piano and dedicated your weekends to learning it. I followed in your footsteps and took up the piano as well. Although neither of us played particularly well, the simple melodies produced by our awkward fingers remain the most beautiful music in my memory,” he said.
He also questioned why parents are expected to put their children first at all times. “Why is it assumed that your money must always be spent on your child? Why is my life deemed more important than yours?” he asked.
Wang wanted his mother to be more confident and stand up for herself when she didn’t like something. “Please remember, your husband and your child are not the sole sources of light in your life. You must cherish yourself. Mum, I beg you to love yourself endlessly,” he added.
The video is one of 40 clips Wang has posted on Douyin where he has 1.66 million followers. His content focuses on family relationships and education from a teenager’s perspective.
This isn’t the first time Wang has spoken about his family. In a video last year, he shared that his parents argued a lot and even said he wished they would get a divorce.
Wang received appreciation and praise on social media. One user wrote, “What he said is absolutely right. Can his mother share some insights on how to nurture such an extraordinary and insightful child?” Another remarked, “We must love ourselves first before we can truly extend that love to others.”
