Middle-aged man gets bizarre haircut to try and woo woman 31 years younger than him.─── 12:33 Sat, 05 Jul 2014
Wu Lei, 54, wanted to try and look like someone in their 20s or 30s to try and gain the affections of a 23-year-old woman.
Wu, who is still single despite the expensive hairdo, said: "I can't understand it. I make an attractive monthly income of 70,000 Taiwanese Dollars (£1,400).
"I adopted this hairstyle because I wanted to look like a guy in his 20s or 30s to attract the girl who rejected me. Or in fact any girl."
Styling his hair was not an easy task. He reportedly needs to use up two cans of gel and spends two hours doing his hair. He can also only comb it once every 15 days to get rid of dead hair.
But the hairdo and the media coverage has made Wu a hit on the streets, with people pointing out Blockhead to their kids and taking snaps of him.
The famous local comic artist Cherng Li even featured Wu in one of his stories after seeing him on the metro, saying "I could not get his figure out of my mind, so I had to put it onto paper."
