...
"Coach, coach..."
Nie Dangdang, holding a basketball, stood in the center of the basketball court and waved to me.
I walked over, and Nie Dangdang stood on tiptoe, looking at my bald head, and then asked me with childlike curiosity, "Coach, why are you bald? Did you develop some new skill?"
"That's right. Hair is like a lid that covers up the chakra in your body... So if you want to play basketball well, you have to shave your head first. Haven't you seen that all the NBA stars are bald?"
"It seems so, but some star players do have hair."
"Then let me ask you, who is the best basketball player?"
"Of course it's Jordan!!"
"Is Jordan bald?"
"yes."
"So of course you have to emulate the best... Hair is the root of all evil. Only by shaving your head completely and releasing your chakra can you become invincible on the basketball court."
Nie Dangdang rubbed her hands together and laughed, then said to the children behind her, "Do you want to listen to the coach, shave your heads, and become Jordan... no, become the coach! The coach is the best!"
The children looked at each other, but they couldn't stop Nie Dangdang from blindly idolizing me. Under his repeated encouragement, the children all agreed to shave their heads... Then they discussed forming a "Shaolin Basketball Team".
By the time I realized the joke had gone too far, the situation was already out of control. Led by Nie Dangdang, the group of kids went to the barbershop across the street from our apartment complex, and there was no stopping them…
I only cut off three thousand strands of hair, not any potential to unleash; I can only sincerely wish them to one day become China's Michael Jordan, so consider this a declaration of my resolve by shaving my head… I just hope the parents of these children won't think I'm an unreliable coach… I'm already a somewhat neurotic man, and since I can't save myself, I can only hope others will be more understanding.
