A young boy from China has become an internet sensation after a video showcasing his amusing yet risky behavior during an earthquake went viral.

On June 23, a mild earthquake measuring 4.3 on the Richter scale shook Qingyuan, located in Guangdong province.

The CCTV footage begins with a family seated at their dining table. As unusual sounds and tremors are felt, the father swiftly grabs his younger son and makes a dash for safety. Meanwhile, the older son hesitates momentarily to evaluate the situation.

After a brief moment, he follows his father but makes a quick detour back to the table to grab some leftover food. He even attempts to collect a bowl for his family, but his father shouts at him to hurry. Undeterred, the determined boy rushes back to the dining table to eat as much as he can.

The footage has captured the attention of many online, with viewers expressing their astonishment at his dedication to food, even in a potentially dangerous situation. One user humorously remarked, “Bro’s priorities are messed up.”

This amusing incident has sparked widespread laughter on social media, following the earthquake that hit Qingcheng district in Qingyuan on the evening of June 23, 2025.
