No books, tiffin, or water bottle, just a few clothes: Indian mother's video of school bags in China leaves Indian people jealous

A video shared by an Indian woman living in China is going viral online. In the clip, she gives a look at what her young child carries in their school bag—and it’s very different from what most Indian parents might expect.

The woman shows a waterproof school bag with a simple and neat design. When she opens it, there are only a few pieces of clothing inside: two T-shirts, one pair of shorts, and one pair of trousers. That’s it—no books, notebooks, lunchbox, or even a water bottle.

She explains that the school provides everything her child needs during the day, including food, water, and study materials. She even shows a name tag on the bag, which seems to be part of the school’s organised system.

Her child leaves home at 8 a.m. and returns by 4 p.m., which suggests the school has a full-day program that includes both studies and fun activities.
The video has received thousands of views and many comments. People were surprised and impressed by how light and simple the school bag is. Some praised the school’s system, calling it smart and child-friendly. One viewer even shared that in China, grandparents often gift school bags to their grandchildren as part of a tradition.
