The video of a little boy following a guard on Tiananmen Square in Beijing to salute him has tugged at the heartstrings of netizens.
The on-duty officer could be seen returning the gesture, before taking a few steps towards the little admirer. Towering over the boy, he extends his arm to shake hands with him.
The video was posted by a user who goes by the name qidao4840 on Kuaishou, a live streaming platform. The clip was shared over 10,000 times on China’s Twitter-like Weibo since it was uploaded on Tuesday.
