Chapter 61 Chapter Eight The Naked Ape and Mao

naked ape and fur If we fully believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, then we humans evolved from ancient apes.Unlike our ancient ancestors, human hair is greatly sparse, so humans are also called naked apes.The scarcity of hair should have been a sign of human evolution. From a logical point of view, the final state of human evolution should be hairless.The original functions of hair to keep warm and conceal shame have long been replaced by human clothing. Even if hair still has a little beauty function, future wigs should be able to reach or even exceed the level of real hair. Interestingly, on the one hand, people feel human dignity due to the lack of hair on the human body, but on the other hand, they suffer from great psychological pressure and pain due to hair loss.As an important part of appearance, if there is a problem with hair, its psychological impact and influence are extremely destructive.

My friend Rob, an American lawyer, is kind-hearted and treats me wonderfully.He is a fan of martial arts. He met me by chance and admired my martial arts, so one day he gathered three other big men from the United States to my house to learn martial arts.What impressed me was that Rob also specially brought a large basket of seasonal fruits to pay his respects.Every time there is a holiday in the future, Rob will come to ask the poor and warm, and bring gifts to respect the teacher. For such a person who has the title of lawyer, knows martial arts, and treats people honestly, I wonder why he is still alone.Sometimes I frankly asked each other, but the result was always unsatisfactory. I didn't expect that result to be revealed by me unintentionally.One day, I was practicing boxing with Rob, and after the boxing, naturally I had to teach sparring.The content of the teaching that day was praying mantis sparring. I made one move, but Rob parried, and my body was behind him.I touched his forehead with my hand, originally it was just a demonstration, but unexpectedly, the hair that I lightly grasped with my hand fell off all at once, and Rob's bald head with no blade of grass appeared in front of me.

Rob's face flushed immediately, but he quickly put the wig on his head as if nothing had happened, and I seemed to understand why Rob kept his celibacy in privacy.For a man, being bald should not be a big deal. Jordan's big bald head has attracted the hearts of countless fans.On American TV, there was a period when basketball superstar Karl Malone appeared in a hair growth commercial, bragging about how effective that hair restorer was.In Year 2 of NBA play, I see Malone with less hair than he did last year.In fact, if there is a hair restorer advertiser who can turn Jordan's bald head into a head of hair, then he can make as much money as he wants.A state of baldness that bothers most men in the world has turned into an eye-catching sign in Jordan. It can be seen that most men's troubles about baldness are still mediocre.

I usually like to be a quack doctor, boasting how proficient I am in Chinese medicine, and always attracting my friends to ask questions, hoping to find a panacea that can cure all diseases from me.My American friend Jeff asked me mysteriously one day if there was any secret remedy for his thinning hair.I laughed and said, "A lively road doesn't grow grass, and a smart head doesn't grow hair." Jeff couldn't help laughing when he heard this Chinese proverb.My good friend Wang Tao is now studying for a Ph.D. in psychology at Harvard.When he was in China, he worried that his hair was getting thinner.At his strong invitation, I brought the whole set of acupuncture and moxibustion equipment to his home to do his hair.The traditional acupuncture method is simply torture. I rubbed ginger juice on the hairless head, and then beat it with a plum blossom needle until there were small blood drops, and I didn't stop.The traumatized brother Wang thought that after one punishment, he would be blessed with happiness, but I had to tell him cruelly that 12 punishments constitute a course of treatment.Generally speaking, 3 courses of treatment are effective. When Brother Wang heard it, he almost fainted on the spot. My acupuncture business was with him, and there was only that one transaction.I tell the stories of Jeff and Wang Tao here because I want to use their true stories to tell the world that the hairless and hairless people don't need to follow Rob's example and stay alone in an empty room.Jeff's later wife was extremely beautiful. I laughed and asked Jeff how his hair affected his love life. Jeff laughed and refused to answer.It looks like his hair might still be the subject of some banter between the couple.

Although men's hair loss is an annoying thing, it can be compensated by other things after all.If a woman suffers from such a disease, the consequences cannot be made up and put off by jokes.One day, one of my female patients, Lilian, told me that she had tried to commit suicide several times because of a problem that made her life worse than death.Lilian is a stripper in a nightclub. What's wrong with her that would make a girl like Lilian feel worse than death?I was guessing it was AIDS or something.But in the United States, it is not uncommon to claim that you have AIDS.What is more difficult to talk about than AIDS?

After much hesitation, Lilian finally told me that she suffers from severe alopecia. "Do you know that I have lost all the hair on my body, not only the hair, but also the body hair, and even the pubic hair underneath." Lilian sighed deeply. "Alopecia is caused by the endocrine disorder of the body. As long as the body adjusts well, the hair will grow back naturally." I tried to comfort Lilian. "I've tried a herbal remedy that works for my hair, but it's too expensive and I can't afford it now." "In my opinion, herbal medicine is not the key. The key is that you have to learn to adjust your physical condition. Physical condition can solve problems better than herbal medicine." I began to educate her on the importance of physical exercise, and Lilian gradually turned her head Lowering down, her face gradually turned to the other side as I educated her about her physiology.I realized something was wrong with Lillian's reaction, but hadn't realized what was wrong or wrong with me yet.

"I don't want to hear your bullshit." Lilian suddenly turned to me with tears all over her face.Then she left the consulting room with the excuse of wanting to go to the bathroom, and after she dawdled for 10 minutes she came back and told me bluntly that she didn't want to talk to me anymore. Lilian's reaction was beyond my expectation.I kindly explained the physiological knowledge to her, but she responded to my kindness like this.What is the problem?I think it stems from my indifference to her inner pain.In my conversations with Lillian, I had absolutely no idea of ​​the psychological impact hair loss can have on a woman.She told me plainly that she once wanted to die because of her hair loss, but I didn't respond to it.I still use the eyes of a man on hair loss to judge the pain of a weak woman on the verge of death of hair loss. No wonder I think I know my patients very well, but I should not easily to make an important decision.
