There is Bo Le in the world, and then there is a thousand mile horse. Thousand mile horses are often present, but Bo Le is not. You will become the role of Bole visiting China's major historical sites, selecting the thousand-mile horse of your heart from among the multitude of horses.
This year is the Chinese New Year of the Horse. Wishing you a prosperous and auspicious Year of the Horse!
Bole refers to those in Chinese history who excelled at identifying talented horses, and has since come to signify individuals skilled at discovering and nurturing talent. You will play the role of Bole, traveling to major historical sites across China to select the thousand-mile horse of your choice. Even if you fail to find one, it matters not—for there is a well-known Chinese idiom, Sai Weng Shi Ma, Yan Zhi Fei Fu, which means when the old man on the frontier lost his steed, who could tell it was not a blessing in disguise? This idiom means that while a loss may seem unfortunate at first, it may ultimately lead to unexpected benefits.
Gameplay is simple—all you need is your mouse. Each level features a magnificent historical site. All you need to do is find the horse you think is most likely the thousand-mile horse in the historical site, then click on it. If you're correct, you'll advance to the next level and discover a brand-new destination. If you make a mistake, no worries—just try again. The game encompasses nearly all of China's famous historical sites, with each location artistically rendered to showcase its most iconic scenery. We've designed hundreds of horses featuring Spring Festival elements. We've also created an original soundtrack blending traditional Chinese music, performed with both traditional Chinese instruments and modern Western instruments. This allows you to better understand Chinese history and culture while searching for the thousand-mile horse.
Come and find the thousand-mile horse that belongs to your heart!
