How a Homemade Cow Movie Became a Political Joke in China

Niu Lai (牛来) is an 86-minute homemade cow movie with terrible animation, robotic voice acting, and a budget of only a few thousand yuan. It should have vanished without a trace. Instead, it became a viral hit.
Why? Because Chinese netizens turned this ridiculous little cow into a stock-market joke, a meme machine, and even a symbol of their frustration with official culture.
Then Dalian suddenly pulled it from theaters.
So what exactly did this stupid cow accidentally reveal about China?
