Ride On (2023)

[Drunk Monk]

No. Amazon called it Ride On. Greg had Red Hare on the brain when he made the post.

See? See what happens when you lean into Google translate too much? I don't think I ever recovered from that. 

Red Hare (Chi Tu) is one of the most legendary horses in Chinese literature. He was the mount of Lu Bu, and after he dies, Cao Cao gets him, then gives him to Lord Guan as a bribe. The horse plays a major role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's a huge literary nod because Red Hare was a super war horse, super fast and steadfastly loyal. He dies because he doesn't like his final owner and starves himself to death.

The other famous horse is the white horse (Bai Ma) who was the mount of Tripatika in Journey to the West, but in that story, he was really a dragon in disguise. The first Buddhist temple of China is Baimasi, which is about a day's travel from Shaolin Temple.
