A Cuban woman stirred an emotional moment by surprising her father with a new motorcycle for his birthday, a gesture that has touched thousands of users on TikTok.

In the video posted by the user @yuri719457, the man is seen leaving his house, unaware of the surprise that awaited him. Upon seeing the motorcycle parked in front of the house, he barely manages to say a word, while a voice in the background comments amid laughter, “He’s almost speechless.”

The motorcycle, from the brand Lifan and in perfect condition, was the gift that the young woman decided to give her father, presumably with help from abroad, a gesture that many Cubans have described as an act of love and family sacrifice.

The footage, recorded in what appears to be a rural area of Cuba, captures the father's restrained emotion as his daughter celebrates the success of the surprise. The video has already amassed thousands of views and comments from users who praise the gesture and relate to the story.

"What a joy to be able to give something like this to our parents," wrote one user. Others highlighted the father's reaction, who could hardly believe what he was seeing. "That's true daughterly love," another person commented.

In the midst of the economic crisis facing Cuba, where purchasing a motorcycle can cost several annual salaries, this video has become a symbol of effort and familial love.
