About one power outage, I clearly remember, happened in my childhood. At that time, the weather was very hot and humid. At that time, the NHSC demand was very high due to some technical problems in local power systems. I was at home preparing dinner and started using rice cooker. Suddenly, everything became dark. Because the air conditioner stops immediately, so the room, the room became hot and I feel annoyed about it. Then I use my phone, the flashlight of my phone and open windows. After that, I was sitting near the balcony for a little bit and I felt calm down and quiet. In the end, I saw this experience is very meaningful because it reminds me that daily comfort is often taken for granted. It also makes me think that people should spend more time outdoors instead of depending on the electricity too much. Compared to a normal evening, it’s very unusual, quiet and slow at night. I also believe our government should advise more wide-powered or to make sure the long-term sustainability for our life in the future. OK. Thank you very much.

The air conditioner stopped immediately, so the room became hot, and I felt annoyed about it. Then I used my phone's flashlight and opened the windows.

In the end, I saw this experience as very meaningful because it reminds me that daily comfort is often taken for granted. It also makes me think that people should spend more time outdoors instead of depending on electricity too much. Compared to a normal evening, it was very unusual, quiet, and slow at night. I also believe our government should advise on more widespread power solutions to ensure long-term sustainability for our lives in the future. OK. Thank you very much.
