A Sharp Blade for Blowing Hairs | Design New World, A Playground for Life

There is a Chinese idiom "Chuimao Liren" which refers to placing hair on the blade of a knife or sword, and with a strong blow, the hair can be cut. It describes how extremely sharp the sword is. It seems that this idiom needs a new interpretation! Such tough hair, even a sharp blade cannot cut it. I saw this shampoo advertisement where some foreigners said that replacing the hair with cheese would be better. It seems they really do not understand Chinese culture. If there was no such idiom as "Chuimao Liren", there wouldn't be such an advertisement (the creativity of the Chinese)!
