… The eight-year-old’s videos – a combination of innocence and cuteness, delivered with a huge cheeky smile – are the perfect antidote to much of the inane content flooding social media.

Born in Hong Kong, Tsang, who last year moved with his parents to the Western Australian capital of Perth, admits he is a little homesick.

… Tsang has found a creative way to stay connected to his home, thanks to his Instagram account @cantohkaiden, where he shares lessons on how to speak Cantonese.

“I saw some kids teaching English on Instagram and YouTube, and thought I’d like to try being a KOL [key opinion leader] and teach others too,” …

Making them has been a family affair, with Tsang’s mother, Ruby, shooting the reels while his father, Benny, edits them. …

Benny is fully aware of the dark side of social media and the need for parental controls to protect children from cyberbullying and online predators. …

“I only show Aiden the positive and encouraging messages, and I make sure that he’s protected from any negative or offensive ones.”

…

Cantonese-speaking families, in particular those in diaspora communities, are crucial as they can pass the language down to future generations as a way to combat its decline.

Benny says it is important to preserve the Cantonese language and culture. …

“Every language or dialect carries its own value and tradition, and each deserves to be respected and passed on,” Benny says. “If any language – not just Cantonese – were to disappear, it would truly be a sad loss.”

… “I want to say thank you to those who like our videos and follow Aiden’s account. We hope to share the fun of Hong Kong culture and Cantonese with others,” he says.

Most of all, he hopes the videos make people happy.

“We hope Aiden’s smile can bring a little happiness and positive energy to everyone.”
