▍原文 Created for the upcoming Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac, the toy was originally meant to wear an upturned smile. Instead, owing to a production error at a factory in Yiwu the toy left the assembly line with its mouth stitched into a distinct, down-turned pout. Netizens quickly dubbed it the "cry-cry horse". By Jan 11, the hashtag #YiwuCryCry-HorseGoneViral had garnered about 100 million views on Weibo. "It's a true depiction of the 'cattle-and-horse' mindset," one user wrote. ▍語言點 1. for the upcoming something 即將到來的 · the upcoming movie 即將上映的電影 2.
