A six-year-old girl has become a business helper in a “silent” foot spa because the owner of the foot spa and all of the employees there are hearing-impaired (听觉受损的).
Hu Yunjia, nicknamed Niuniu, is the daughter of the foot spa owner Hu Yong. The father lost his hearing and speech due to a severe fever in his childhood, making it difficult for him to get a permanent job. After finishing training in the foot spa and pedicure (足部护理) abilities, Hu started the business in Chengdu, the provincial capital city of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, in 2019. Since then, Peng Feng, the mother, who is also deaf, has worked together with her husband at the shop.
After Niuniu finishes school, she helps her parents at the shop as a sign language translator.
“Madam, how is your day and what help do you need?” “Sir, my dad asked you to take this ointment (软膏) back home and apply it.” Niuniu delivers her father’s messages to the customers in her sweet childish voice and with rich body language, frequently amusing the guests.
“She is always cheerful, upbeat and outgoing,” said the customers and the school teachers.
“Dad taught me to be diligent,” Niuniu explained. In her view, her parents are like superheroes who look after the family despite their inability to hear and speak. “Though my parents are different from other people, they are the best for me,” she added.
