Man Aims to Grow a Queue in Fanpous Village
On April 16 in Fanpous, a man met a Chinese worker trying to grow a queue. The effort proved brief as the hair did not improve his appearance. While in the fields to advance ammunition, a nearby nose scent hinted at foreigners. The man, hardened by experiences, decided to keep growing the queue despite foreigners’ short hair. He had spent nearly two years in France and resolved against joining them, hence the queue World’s Work.
