Count Zero requested an image for Brazil's winning the World Cup, but he didn't have an image and all of the images I saw were rather ordinary. (Brazil winning the cup? That's not unusual! They are the football power of our time...)
This one is more interesting because it's a young Chinese toddler whose hair has been cut and styled to match that of Brazilian hero player Ronaldo's hair as he wore it in the finals, with all but a front bit shaved off. This kid is in Beijing, too, not Hong Kong or Taiwan.
The point is, if Chinese society has opened to the point where styles are coming from world events, where even infants can be indoctrinated -- then, slowly, they are moving into step with the rest of the world, and with that will come more and more reforms. If a Chinese babe has a hero from truly the other side of the world, well that's awesome. Once again sport is the common language of the people.
It's a beautiful thing.
