A kid that I was once playmates with had a giant Zuko-like scar on the left side of his face. It was a pretty distinct mark that was neither ugly nor pretty.

When I asked, he told me he got it from playing with his father’s lighter.

He said it added the right touch of character. Like as if the humongous mole on his left eyebrow wasn’t enough of a distinctive trait.

The last I heard of him was when he tried to rope me into buying an insurance plan.

At that point, the mole and the scar had become more than just an aesthetic. It was a personality trait.

Deng Sha included a few points of advice for her followers if they ever encountered a similar problem.

  • She suggested they have their hair tied up. This was to avoid the chances of it catching fire and burning their faces.
  • She also told them to remain calm and stay rational.
  • She advised her followers to extinguish the fire with a wet cloth or towel.
  • The burn should then be treated immediately upon extinguishing the flame. She told them to use cold water. The burns should not be treated with toothpaste or medical oils as these were useless.
