"Although I failed to become a torchbearer, I will have a torch haircut!" On the eve of the Olympic torch relay in Shenzhen, encouraged by a sponsorship of 100 yuan from his boss, an employee of an electronics mall in Huaqiangbei gathered up his "superhuman courage and extraordinary endurance" and went to a barber's shop to shave his head into a hair style showing "Beijing", "2008", "Olympic
five rings" and "torch". His action temporarily "shocked the entire Huaqiang area", but unintentionally scared his colleague's three-year-old child into crying.
