Since Li Ming made up his mind to drop out of school, he often hid in his dorm room painting or took his sketchbook to class to draw the faces of the teachers. Drawing faces was very interesting—each teacher's face had many "things." He drew the first, second, third, and fourth faces, then filled in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth faces with his imagination. Within a few days, he had drawn all the teachers except the female lecturer. Then, he started drawing his classmates. Their faces were far less vivid than the teachers', all young and smooth, even the fifth, sixth, and eighth faces couldn't be imagined. Finally, he came up with a solution: he drew faces with just single lines, two nostrils for each face, and stuck them on the classroom's academic discussion column, letting everyone guess.
