“What are you doing with that ponytail (马尾辫), dear Joe? You look like a little girl!" Mr. Cooper said when Joe walked into his classroom on the first day of school. The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame. But he knew he had to keep growing it. He had his reasons.
Joe had started growing his hair the previous school year. No one paid too much attention to it then because the summer holidays had begun. But now that he was back, everyone saw how overgrown his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail.
Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop, and the other boys in the class started teasing him every day. They thought that clearly he just wanted to look different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home every day in tears, but he never told his parents what was happening. Joe started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point.
Their art teacher, Mrs. Burns, was somewhat new at the school, and she found Joe crying one day when everyone left for recess. “Joe, what’s going on? Why are you growing your hair so long?” she asked kindly.
“Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer and lost their hair,” Joe explained. After a pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young volunteers to grow hair and donate it. The hospital will use the donated hair to make beautiful wigs (假发) for those unfortunate kids. Since last April, I have been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my class often laugh at me due to my long hair.”
Touched, Mrs. Burns said, “Do your classmates know why you grow your hair?” Joe shook his head, saying no one asked him. “Do you have photos of the kids in that hospital?” Mrs. Burns asked. “Yes,” Joe said, and quickly took a few out from his school bag.
