Chinese Mother Creates Bizarre Breakfast Menus for Son, Goes Viral with 900 Million Views

On February 14, 2026, a mother from Zhejiang Province went viral on social media with her unique 'Thunder Breakfast' after previously being criticized for serving her 16-year-old son low-nutrition morning meals. Zhang Li Ping, a clothing store owner, initially posted videos showing breakfast with just a few dry bread slices, rice crackers, and hot water. After facing online criticism about 'neglecting her child', she creatively responded by designing unexpected breakfast menus featuring combinations like durian with hot pot, salapaos with strawberries, and fruit meatballs served with sour fish soup and milk. Her innovative approach includes quirky combinations like barbecue with coffee, durian with meat hot pot, and chicken feet with cola. Zhang wakes up at 5 AM daily to prepare her son's breakfast before he eats at 6 AM, adapting to his preference for meat and desserts. Her goal is to provide motivation and love during his school years, stating that while online fame may fade, a mother's love never will.
