Sudden Darkness

This article was extracted from my early NetEase blog. NetEase Blog is no longer operating, but looking back, these words are still quite interesting, so I decided to move them over as intact as possible. This is mainly kept as a record; after all these years, the quality of the text, images, and links may all have been affected.

This article was originally published on December 7, 2008. I was about 19 years old at the time and was in college.

At night, for some unknown reason, the campus living area suddenly lost power, and the whole place instantly became pitch-black! All kinds of strange screams came along with the darkness… Affected by the recent Shanghai Business School fire, quite a few people ran directly downstairs… I originally wanted to go down with them too, but after looking around and seeing that nothing was happening, I ignored it, went back to my computer, and used the remaining battery to keep working on my Flash.
