The “Crying Horse” case, not everyone is a fire horse
Not everyone feels ready to run non-stop, and the curious case of “Crying Horse” it proves it. This red plush, destined to smile for the Lunar New Yeararrived in stores with a sad expression due to a small factory error. Instead of returning it, customers photographed it and shared it on social media, turning it into a symbol for young workers. The inverted smile turned the nostrils into tears and created an incredibly melancholy expression. Yet, this very “defect” has won over the public, becoming a symbol of office fatigue and stress. A mirror of our hyper-fast society, which runs like the Fire Horsebetween work, commitments and the desire for freedom.
