How Could Students Conquer Me, a Super Teacher?

The homeroom duties were shared by two teachers. The first was the Chinese teacher. One day, a young man came in, with phoenix eyes, disheveled hair, and a stack of books of various sizes tucked under his arm. As soon as he set them on the lectern, he introduced himself to the students in a slow, measured voice: "I'm the one they call Teacher Xiao the Tiger..."

A few people in the back started laughing...

They say Teacher Xiao was so careless about how he dressed that he sometimes even forgot to wear a tie. In winter, he wore an old, threadbare coat. Once, when he took the train, the conductor suspected he was a pickpocket and told the other passengers to keep an eye on their belongings.
