Kua Fu

Kua Fu (Chinese: 夸父) was a giant in Chinese mythology. One day out of the blue Kua Fu was perplexed by the sun's whereabouts at night and decided to chase the sun. However, he could never catch up to the sun and died of exhaustion. The wooden club he was carrying grew into a vast forest. In daily Chinese usage, the story of Kua Fu chasing the sun is used to describe a person who fails to obtain his goal because he greatly overestimated himself. Fu, Kua
