In most of Chinese middle school, the school has a rule that students need to cut their hairs regularly, for boys they need to be no more than 2cm and for girls our hairs can’t be longer than our jaws and so all the students need to cut their hair before they go to school so the day before going to school I went to hair dresser to cut my hair and for me I think there was some special situation that when I was a little girl I joined a table tennis team. It’s a very professional and formal team so the team had a rule that girls can only have very very short hairs, so after I quitted from the table tennis team it’s near the end of my primary school so in the last 2 years of my primary school I really cherished the time that I could have long hairs so the day I went to cut my hairs I felt very depressed and I told the hair dresser that just cut my hairs that align with my jaw (as long as possible). Then I went to school. At the first day of school our teachers checked every student’s hair one by one and the teacher told me that my hair style was not qualified. It still need to be shorter and I was very disappointed and in that evening I go to the hair dresser again and after finishing cutting my hairs I cried.
