Yiwu International Trade City, China - A plush toy called the “crying horse” has gone viral after a factory mistake left its mouth turned upside‑down. The toy, originally meant to have a smiling face, now shows a sad expression and a golden bell around its neck. Store owner Zhang Huoqing explained that a worker stitched the mouth the wrong way. Demand surged so fast that staff had to restock shelves, and the toy is now sold in a conveyor‑belt line. Young workers say the frowning horse reflects the long hours and stress of modern work life, and the toy has joined a growing trend of “cute‑but‑ugly” products. The craze peaked before the Chinese New Year, which marks the Year of the Horse in the zodiac.
