A Chinese girl has become an online inspiration after a video captured her walking home alone following a crucial exam, dressed in simple clothes and carrying a bamboo pole that balanced two large, overstuffed bags.

The viral video featured this secondary school student, surnamed Liu, from Guanyang County No 2 Senior High School in Guilin, Guangxi province, southern China, as she made her way home after taking the gaokao, China’s college entrance exam.
According to Liu, the bags primarily contained quilts.
“I get cold easily, so I brought three thick quilts to school,” she explained.
Liu also clarified that she was not entirely alone that day; her mother had come to pick her up.

“I was walking ahead with the pole carrying quilts and daily necessities, while my mum followed behind with a suitcase; that’s why she wasn’t caught on camera,” Liu said.
