According to South China Morning Post, the gift bags contained earplugs, cartoon drawings, and a handwritten apology message.

“My son is 20 months old and may get out of control and cry, I am afraid that he may disturb other passengers, so I’d better remind them ahead of the flight,” Wang told the outlet. “If parents show an attitude of gratitude and offer an apology to fellow passengers, I believe they can put up with the children.”

The video of Wang and her toddler has amassed over m views and 3,290 comments on Weibo.
