On Children's Day 2019, Xiaomi set two world records. The first involves the creation of the world's largest mosaic using 1,10,000 notebooks, the second involves the donation of said notebooks to children from underprivileged communities.

The notebooks, all made from recycled paper, were used to create a mosaic measuring 1,950 square metres. Together, the notebooks weigh in at over 18,000 kg — that's heavier than a truck.
