A stuffed toy horse with a sullen face has gone viral recently on Chinese Internet. In Yiwu, a small commodities hub in east China, orders have soared as factories ramp up production to meet market demand. Dubbed "Cry-Cry Horse," the toy was originally a stitching mistake but unexpectedly touched the hearts of netizens with its pitiful expression which has a soothing effect. At present, nearly 20,000 of such toy horse are ordered every day. (Photo by Lyu Bin/Xinhua)
