This Dad And Daughter Have Been Taking Pictures In The Same Spot Every Year For 40 Years

Every parent will tell you that kids grow up way too fast. It seems like one day you’re changing their diaper and the next day they’re asking you for $30 to go to the Limp Bizkit concert. That’s why it’s important to cherish every moment you spend together – and Chinese father Hua Yunqing know all about cherishing moments. The man has an annual tradition of taking photos with his daughter Hua Hua in the same spot and has been continuing it for 40 years!

Hua had the first picture taken when he was just 27 years old and initially did not have any plans of turning it into a tradition. However, once he saw the picture, he quickly made up his mind and decided to return to the same spot next year and repeat it, said the man in an interview with Daily Mail .

Hua Hua had her first daughter in 2008 and her second one in 2012 – and the whole family happily continued the tradition.

“When I started, I never guessed that I’d still be doing this when I was in my 60s and my daughter is now no longer alone, she is a mother-of-two,” said the father. Let’s hope we see many more pictures in the future!

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
