“We’ve been experiencing setbacks and curveballs in the past few weeks, which is normal in life. But amidst the chaos, there are moments like this – watching my daughter play the piano with grace in her first recital. Suddenly, I snap out of the worry and all I see is beauty,” Dingdong said in a post back in April.

He added: “It reminds me to hold onto hope and find comfort in life’s little moments, and that everything’s gonna be alright.”
