The Air Conditioner Was Down
Recently, it's been the hottiest days in Shanghai this year. While trouples never come singly- the air conditioner in my bedroom was down. I sent a we-chat message to the landlord asking for his help. My landlord used to be a maintenance technician. He could fix everything and I’m a big fan of him.
As always, he took a quick action to investigate the issue on site. Afte that, he dialed the hot line and explained to the customer service lady everything except the model type because it was in alphaets and numbers. I was glad to offer help because it made me feel I was partipating the project. Since I was a kid, I had a dream that I would be able to mend appliances at home. Unfortunately the truth was the dream did not come true; another truth was my landlor could not fix the air conditioner and he needed technical support from the company.
The next day, my landlord asked me to fight against the high temperature for one day more because the company staffs' schedule were full. They kept their words and I had the cool air soon after that. But a new issue came : whom can we call to fix the air conditioner for the Earth?

Dad Is Protesting Against Mum
Like most of the women at her age, my mum is willing to be the big boss at home and she is. She suggests everyone to do something or not to do. I would say they are more orders than suggestions because she shouts a lot. Sometimes dad cannot hear what mum says because he has been a little bit deaf for many years. I once asked dad why husbands fear of their wives, in a whisper. "For peace of the world，my daughter", dad answered, in a whisper.
After leading the one-member management committee for years, mum has become a dictator. While dad, it seems his sleeping consciousness of freedom has been aroused. Yesterday he went to the market without any hat to protest against mum's command on changing for another hat. I wish I won't become mum some day. But they all say we will become our parents, sooner or later. This is so sad. But , Dad, good job and congrats.

Peaches Are In Full Season
Summer is a tasty season because it's the best time of fruits. Although modern technologies have made it very easy to get almost any fruit you want any time, there're still exceptions which are called seasonal fruits. They are normally produced in a sole area and beat mediocre competitors from others areas. That's why normally smart merchants registered the places name as brand name for these products.
Yangshan Peach from Yangshan Town is one of them. It's famous for being juicy, sweat and "melt in your mouth". In my eyes, only Yangshan Peach deserves the name of peach.
It's the right season of Yangshan peach. My mum must be very happy to see the peaches and my face tomorrow. It's the right time to be good to our parents.

Cycling to Tibet
One of my youger friends started his trip to Tibet today, cycling from Chengdu to Lhasa. In front of him is a long way around 2000KM, which is part of China National Road 318. The road is famous for its length --top 1 in China-- and the fantastic views on both sides. It runs from the most modern city Shanghai to the most mysterious city Lhasa.
People take the trip as a holy baptism which may change their world view, philosophy and view of values. They long for the long march in spite of the numerous difficulties and dangers-- unpredictable climate, steep slope, bends, landslide, altitude sickness, sunburn and so on.
Young boy, safe cycling. I only wish I could drive to Tibet someday.

The Importance of A Man's Financial Contribution At Home
I agree with the view that a man should contribute more on finance at home than his wife. I know several couples of friends and observe how they get along with each other, parents in law and friends. It's very obvious that when the husband earns more money than his wife, the whole families smile more and argue less. When the model is in an opposite way, the wife and her mother would blame the husband more. In this situation, normally the husband appears super quiet or irritable. Either of them would make the wife unpleasant. This might be because people have different expectations from the sexes- men are supposed to support more on finance and women should focus more on housework- and this is one of the common opinions men and women barely hold. You may say"come on, it's 2019" . Don't forget we are still in the male-dominated society.

Lesson One of Ultraman
Today I visited one of my best friends and her families in Suzhou. Her son is a big fan of Ultraman. He is 7 years old but he knows well about Ultramen, e.g. names, looks, where they are from, weapons, heights, speed, enemies, partners on the earth and so on. He learns these from TV and Ultraman books. Ultraman is his favorite and he is always willing to talk about Ultraman with others. While unfortunately, no one at his home would join him; in stead they would ask him to forget about Ultraman but focus on school books. I let him explain to me the first Ultraman who arrived in the earth. It took a long time--a whole day-- because I knew nothing about Ultraman. But finally I made to understand the profile of Ultraman (the first one) and wrote it down to keep a record. My young teacher corrected two mistakes for me and gave me a score of 99 out of 100 points. I appreciated him for teaching me the lesson one of Ultraman. In return I bought a new series of Ultraman comic books for him online. As he suggested I also set an annual goal to keep in mind of Ultraman brothers--six Ultramen in totally.

Hope people don't talk loudly in trains
At one station on my way home today, two young mothers got on the train. The adults talked about the fun activities they had been to loudly. This is too annoying for me because I was standing beside them. Later the two kids joined in the conversation and I was sure they were copying their mothers style to speak loudly in the crowded carriage. I typed"hi silence please " on my cellphone but didn't show them. Hope schools and medias will keep teaching and coaching people good manners in public places.

The lady at the metro line station (Ⅱ)
She must be a thoughtful woman. I could tell this from her glance over the rushing young people who look very sleepy and anxious. I could also tell from her tone. She speaks in mandarin but with obvious Shanghainese accent. She appears not at work but at just reminding young kids playing in front of her home to be careful.
On many cold early mornings her voice warmed me. Sometimes I would bend down my head to show my respect when she saw my eyes or give her my smiles. She would smile back. I intended to give her a piece of flower or a card but finally gave up because this is not a common way in China. She has no place to keep a gift from me and that might make her awkward.
The end.

The lady at the metro line station(Ⅰ)
It's super crowded on Shanghai metro lines, especially at junction stations in rush hours. As a safety solution, the metro line company arranges coordinators to remind passengers to watch out and not to look at their cellphones.
Every morning when I get off the train there is a lady standing at the bottom of the escalator upstairs to exits. She looks around 55 years old but unlike women of her age she is very thin and her back is very straight. As I could recall, she is always in black trousers, black leather flats and on top a orange waistcoat as staff uniform. She doesn't make up. The curved reddish brown hair is all the fashion she has.
To be continued.

Seeing a doctor
I took one day off today to have my lungs and blood checked in case I had caught any transmissible bacteria in Philippines.
The hospital was as crowded as anytime at any public hospital in China. I couldn't hear what the young doctor was saying to me because of the noise of people in the office.
They didn't want to speak loudly but there had to as it was a shared office for several doctors and each doctor was surrounded by around 4 patients, following them were long queues of people waiting in the aisle. The lines would extend downstairs to the streets if they didn't stand in a Chinese type of queue-- not one by one but several by several.
Good news for this hospital is they are constructing a new building for outpatients. And thank you doctor.
