- Mother says he does it easily, efficiently and started when he was ‘very young’
Footage of a young boy skilfully packaging courier items has gone viral on mainland social media, winning the youngster widespread plaudits.
A video clip of the six-year-old kindergarten pupil in Yiwu in eastern China’s Zhejiang province was released by his mother on Douyin at the end of January, Shandian News reported.
The clip shows the boy, identified as Taotao, efficiently folding cardboard boxes, sealing them with packing tape and sticking on courier labels.
Taotao’s parents own an e-commerce store in Yiwu, which has been dubbed China’s small commodities capital.
“Lunar New Year is looming and many of our workers have left Yiwu to return to their hometown to celebrate the festival. My son saw that we were busy with packing and said he would love to give us a hand,” his mother said.
