A mother in China who used recycled materials to craft beautiful ancient Chinese costumes for her three-year-old son has captivated mainland social media.
The mother, surnamed Zhao, from Hebei province in northern China, made outfits imitating characters from costume dramas with her son.
“Some of the costumes are modelled on characters that he likes while others are favourites from my childhood,” Zhao told Dami Video.
The pair have produced 12 sets of costumes over the past eight months and Zhao has yet to say whether she will continue the project.
She said she and her son enjoyed the work and that it has become a meaningful way of bonding. “It will also leave him with many fantastic memories,” Zhao said.
“Bringing joy to kids does not mean you must be rich. A clever and creative mother can do the job well,” said one online observer.
