China: Toddler and Lamb Share Playful Moment With Toy Horse in Qinghai

On May 14, 2026, a video captured a heartwarming moment in a pasture in Qinghai Province, northwestern China. A toddler, no more than one or two years old, was playing with a toy horse when a small lamb trotted over and began playfully headbutting it. Each time the toy toppled over, the child patiently stood it back up — only for the lamb to knock it down again, turning the exchange into a gentle, lighthearted game between the two.

A Brighter Summer Day

Darice at the arcade, Taipei, Taiwan, 2019. ‘I hope that anyone who reads my story or sees this project gets more confidence to be themselves. I’ve just turned thirty and I’m realizing more who I am now so I hope no matter your age, your gender or your orientation you can find yourself and be comfortable with it. Because even if you don’t know anyone like you, right now there is a lot of us out there.’ Darice Darice is Taiwanese American and identify as non binary, which means they don't identify as male or female. Growing up they were quite a tomboy and thought that one day they would grow to become a bearded old man, but that never happened. They learned how to perform femininity as a skill and trained for beauty pageants in America where their family moved. They learned how to wear make up, how to walk. We met at their favorite place, an arcade in Gonguan, the student area, where they go to play a dancing game when they can't sleep at night. Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
