Most Chinese people don't have much facial hair. Unfortunately, often times the only hair they have on their faces aside from their eyebrows is a few extremely long hairs growing out of a mole. I've been told they don't cut it off, or have the mole removed, because it's supposed to be lucky. The old men (and women!) I've seen with these horrible things don't look very lucky.

Forgive me if I seem insensitive, but ick.
