A new toy horse, made for the Year of the Horse, has become a surprise hit. But its fame (名气) comes from a mistake. The toy was supposed to have a happy smile. Instead, because of a worker’s carelessness at a factory in Yiwu, its mouth was made down-turned and the toy got an unhappy face.

How did the story start? A customer in Hangzhou received the wrong toy and called customer service for a replacement. After the customer posted photos of its sad expression online, the toy rose to fame suddenly. People quickly named it the “cry-cry horse” and it got around 100 million views on social media. Soon, orders for the “accidental version (版本)” flooded in.
