A three-year-old boy made a military salute to an armed police officer, who were patrolling the Tian’anmen Square in China.

The heart-melting scene was recorded on March 27, reports the CGTN.

After the salute, the officer reached out his hand to the boy, who has shown his genuine respect to those who provide people with the security.

‘We always tell him, ‘your pa and ma protect you at home, and police officers protect you when you are out.’ He loves to hear that,’ the boy’s grandma said.
