The last thing Xu Daye remembered was the dazzling blue light in the high-voltage cabinet of the substation.
As an ordinary electrician of the municipal electric power company, he was supposed to be checking monthly reports in the duty room, but he was called to the suburban substation by a call from the duty leader. "There is an abnormal noise in the No. 3 High-voltage cabinet. Go and have a look. The old electricians are rushing to repair the lines, but you are idle." When the voice of the shift leader came through the receiver, Xu Daye was nibbling half a cold steamed bun. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes - he was "idle", but he was in charge of the back office, and the work of climbing up and down was not his turn.
