India, June 26 -- A Chinese boy has gone viral after refusing to take cover during an earthquake in Qingyuan on June 23. In a video clip which has since been making rounds on social media, the child is seen running back to grab food from a table in the middle of tremors.

The video shows a family sitting together at a dining table and enjoying a meal when an earthquake hits. The father, identified as Li, immediately grabbed his younger son and rushed towards the door in a panic. His older son initially followed, even calling out to someone in the kitchen to run, SCMP reported.

However, the boy ran back to the table, arguing that he had not finished his meal. He even urged his mother to take shelter before running out of the cover himself...
