Chongqing - What if museum artifacts could talk—where would they go during the new year holiday of the Year of the Horse?

On the morning of the Chinese New Year, the Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is bustling with visitors. Suddenly, an Eastern Han Dynasty bronze horse—affectionately nicknamed "Horse Master"—can't sit still anymore. So it drags the horse handler figurine along for the ride. They shrink down and sneak into the hood of a young man named Xiaoyu's down jacket, embarking on an impromptu "Citywalk" through Chongqing.

Along the way, they hop into a "smart" Chongqing-made new energy vehicle, stunned by its AI-powered features. They wander through bustling shopping districts filled with global goods—saffron from Iran, olive oil from Greece, spices from India—all once rare treasures along the ancient Silk Road, now available on everyday shelves. Passing by the Chongqing International Logistics Hub, they're awestruck by the "steel camel caravans" of the China-Europe Railway Express. As night falls, they gaze at the sky above the Yangtze River and Jialing River, where hundreds of drones paint stunning patterns.

From their "great escape" to their return, these 2,000-year-old artifacts witness firsthand how technology and openness are shaping a new era. Back in their display case, Horse Master sighs with contentment: "This New Year? Totally worth it. This city? Rising every single day."
