Chinese students sleep from the heat wave in libraries and tents

As Chinese authorities are warned about strong heat in the eastern region of the country, students leave their dormitories in the camp in corridors and supermarkets.

Some of them generally threw out campuses.

“We sometimes go out to stay in the air-conditioning hotels,” the BBC, a 20-year-old university student, said in the northeast city of Changchun, who refused to call it. “There are always a few days a year when it’s unbearable.”

Hotels have become popular among students who seek to avoid sweaty nights in their dormitories, which are usually located in four or no air conditioners.

But for many, this step is the extreme means. “Checking at the hotel is a huge price for us students,” says the student in Changchun.

Thus, in less desperate days he sat a bowl of ice cubes in front of a small fan to cool in a dorm – what he calls “home -conditioned”. The invention pushed him when the semester ended this week.

The Sanf season, which is known to be “dogs” in China, usually begins in mid -July. But he arrived earlier this year, with a temperature in the eastern region, which took off above 40C (104F) during the last week – and caught millions of residents on guard.

Concerns about the high temperature spiral after the report that the boarding school guard died at his room at Tsindo University on Sunday – from what many considered the heat stroke.

His cause of death was “under investigation,” a statement published on Monday said. It states that he was found in his room in a “abnormal state” and announced dead when the paramedics arrived at the scene.

The tributes quickly resulted in a person who is very well known among students as an uncle’s dorm who cared for stray cats in a campus.

“The kittens do not know that the uncle has gone far. After today, he met many people, but never heard his uncle’s voice,” the Weibo user commented.

The incident also threw attention to the conditions of residence of staff and students of the school. Also on Sunday, a student at the same university was sent to the hospital after moving thermal strike, Jimu News reports.

“The university’s quality does not lie in how much buildings it has, but rather it refers to ordinary people who quietly support the operation at school,” the other Weibo user wrote.

In recent weeks, China has been engaged in extraordinary weather – a phenomenon worldwide, which experts have linked to climate change.

The Chinese authorities issued a Wednesday warnings on the flood after the typhoon concluded on the east coast of China. A thunderstorm killed in two in Taiwan this week and moved to the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian.

On the other side of the country, the floods swept the bridge that linked Nepal and China. At least nine killed and more than a dozen naval and Chinese citizens are missing.

Meanwhile, thermal waves in China have become hotter and longer.

In 2022, in particular, the heat caused more than 50,000 deaths, according to The Lancet Medical Journal. Next year, a village was held in Xinjiang, North -Western China, entering the 52.5C system – the highest fixed temperature in China.

The year 2024 was the warmest Chinese year, and July became the hottest month, which the country has seen since the temperature began in 1961.

“It feels like global warming has really affected our world,” says a university student in Changchun. “When I was young, the summer in the northeast was really comfortable. But now the summer was hot and hot.”

This year, high temperatures tested the borders of the inhabitants again.

Last week, the video showed a man in Zhejiang province, who broke the train window to let the air after the train left the rails, and passengers stuck for hours in bodily heat.

In the adjacent Jianx province, the air conditioner became a hot point for the elderly while ordering any food – on Cagrin restaurant staff, local media reported.

In the northeastern province of Jilin, the university students are reportedly sleeping in tents lining the hall with air conditioning.

And after the students’ reports were followed in the slope province, who squatted at the supermarkets and spent the nearby hotels to avoid warmth, the university organized that students slept in the library, Hongxing News reports.

Several schools in the Shandong province have announced plans to make their hostels with air conditioning – more and more indispensable.

The air conditioner is more than a third of the demand for the power grid in the east of China, China’s energy authorities said, since in early July the national demand for electricity reached a record high.

Tinda University representatives said on Monday in local media that they also plan to install air conditioning in students during the summer holidays.

This is just what he needed to hear that one of the high school students in Ginan, 350 km.

A teenager who has just completed the introductory exam in college tells the BBC that he hesitated at the University of Tsingo – his main choice – from the hostels.

“Without conditioning the air is too hot to survive,” he says.
