This is what has caused him a great struggle in finding work, as many employers are afraid of hiring him as it may lead them into trouble with child labour.
Mao Sheng is desperate to find work as his father has suffered a stroke and he needs to step up and support his family.
"Mao wanted to work in a factory with his friends, but all of his applications were turned down. He described his condition as a curse that was standing in the way of his dreams. However, since his TikTok video went viral, an employer has approached the young man and offered him a job." (MSN)
