Chinese woman travels to work in a Bentley…

A Chinese woman who works as a dishwasher has been going viral on the internet.

And the lady, who works as a dishwasher, has gone viral for a fascinating reason.

The woman, who is from Chengdu, is seen in the footage wearing rubber boots.

And the video shows the woman being dropped off outside a hotel.

But it is not the fact that the Chinese woman got dropped off for work that has made the video viral.

It is the fact that the woman got dropped off for work in a luxury car – specifically, a Bentley.

The footage was posted on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

And it has already racked up millions of views since being posted.

…and she does so for a humble reason

Remember when we said there was a fair reason for the woman pulling up to work in a Bentley?

Well, there genuinely is – and it is surprisingly humble.

The clip is captioned: “What she lacks is not money, but things to do to fill her time.”

More context to the viral clip was, thankfully, soon provided.

And it was local news outlet China Times that provided the missing pieces.

According to the publication, the woman is actually extremely wealthy in her own right.

Instead, the woman chooses to pass her time washing dishes.

She said: “I feel very bored at home, and my body feels uncomfortable if I don’t wash dishes for a day.”

The woman’s daughter admitted that she cannot stop her mother from working.

Instead of trying to convince her to stop, she helps her mother with the commute every time.

Some people praised the woman for staying so active and engaging in meaningful work.

Others, however, criticized the move, pointing out that it is easy to choose where and when you work.

Regardless of your opinion, it is interesting for someone to continue working as a dishwasher when they arrive in a Bentley.
