Her smiles and optimism brought joy to the people around and no one could tell that she had gone through a painful experience of losing her father at 11 years old. Leqing is very close to her father and when her father died of cancer, she went through a painful period of mourning. Xu Zhengbo (Chew Chor Meng) is a good father. He believes that parents play an important role in guiding and leading in the upbringing of their children. Hence, he believes that pre-school education has a great impact which can influence a child’s life. When Leqing was 4 years old, he quit his job as a computer programmer to be a full-time father to take care of Leqing. Leqing’s mother, Lin Yixin (Xiang Yun) continued to work so that Zhengbo can focus in taking care of Leqing.
