A woman in Zhengzhou, Central China's Henan province tends to draw crowds when she goes out in public due to her 1.93-meter-long hair.
中国中部河南省郑州市一女子头发长达1米93，出行时易引人注目。
Fan Lili, 49 years old, living in Zhengzhou, said that she stopped cutting her hair 25 years ago.
49岁的樊利利住在郑州，她说她25年前就不再剪发。
"My mother said my hair has good quality and she would like me to keep it, and other family members also agreed," Fan said.
“我的母亲说我的头发质量很好，她喜欢我留长发，其他家庭成员也同意。”樊利利说。
The long hair has brought joy to her life. When she goes in public, many people admire her hair and chat with her. Some men even pursue her, though her husband is not so happy about that.
长发给她的生活带来不少乐趣。在公共场合时，很多人羡慕她的头发，会和她聊天。有些男子甚至会追求她，尽管她的丈夫不高兴。
Maintaining her long hair also creates problems, such as washing.
留长发同时也给她带来了困难，比如洗头发。
Fan said that she has to take a shower for about one and a half hours in order to wash her hair, using about 200 millimeters of shampoo every time. She can't use common chemical shampoos, only natural.
樊利利说，为了洗头发，她每次要洗淋浴一个半小时，用200毫米的洗发水。她不能用普通的化学洗发水，只能用天然的。
Drying is another thing. Fan does not use a hair drier but leaves her hair to dry naturally. The catch is it takes about two days to dry.
吹干头发是另一个问题。樊利利不用吹风机，而是让头发自然干。问题是，头发要两天才干。
When going out in the day, Fan has to put up her hair, and releases it at night to put by the bedside to sleep.
白天出去的时候，她不得不把头发扎起来，晚上再放开，并把头发放到枕边睡觉。
An 80-year-old man surnamed Feng said that it was the first time he's met a person with such long hair in Zhengzhou, and another old man even questioned that her hair was fake.
一个姓封的80岁男子表示，这是他首次在郑州见过一个有这么长头发的人，另一个老人深圳怀疑她的头发是假的。
"I will keep the hair to see if will grow as long as twice my height," Fan said.
”我将继续留着头发，看它能否长到我身高的两倍长。“樊利利说。
