JOURNAL

I live in Jinan, it is known as one of China's three furnaces. Today, surface temperature is about 39 degrees Celsius, and most of this week was like it. As soon as I got out of office and walked 10 feets, I was make a sweat all my head. That's feeling likes a sauna, I'm warried about people who have to work ?outside, the government should pay extra subsidies for them. ?

I figured this hot weather will last untill next month, and trust me, I stayed here about 30 yeas ago, unfortunately, every July like this.
