Everyone had to experience a power outage. It's really hard to endure a power outage in summer without air conditioning or electric fans. Over time, the food in the refrigerator begins to rot and the ice gradually melts.
Power outages are really annoying, but at least there are clear hourly notifications from the electricity department, so everyone knows when the current will arrive.
However, is it possible that the power keeps turning off and on and you don't know when the call will come?
The Xianji family encountered this situation. One morning they woke up and found that all the electrical appliances in the house were malfunctioning, the alarm clock no longer rang and the telephone, television, computer and cell phone, all of which cannot be used, even the tap water and gas cannotbe used!
The family rushed out to work and go to school. Only when they went out did they discover that not only their own family had a power outage, but the entire family. from Tokyo.
The metro is out of service, cars cannot start, water, gas, electricity from the tap cannot be used, these modern tools created by humans cannot be used, and businesses, schools, water companies cannot be used. .. are all paralyzed.
On the first day of the power outage, the family had a meal together by candlelight, eating ready-made meals that my mother had finally bought at the supermarket. After the meal, my mother walked out to the balcony and exclaimed how beautiful the sky was tonight. Her husband and children also joined us. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that thenight sky was so beautiful.
Probably because there is no light, the stars are so bright.
On the third day of the power outage, the boss of his father's company took his wife and children on a trip to escape Tokyo. Yes, far-sighted people have started to leave Tokyo.
There is no reason not to leave. Banks are limiting cash withdrawals from supermarkets. Drinking water is not available. How to survive in Tokyo?
The Xianji family still persists. After a week, there seems to be no possibility of restoring power. The family finally plans to leave Tokyo and go to Kagoshima, where the mother's native family is located, where the grandfather can count, where the sea and farmland are.
A family was riding bicycles and planning to fly from Haneda Airport to Kagoshima.
The motherlamented: I haven't ridden a bike in a long time. The last time I did it was during the parent-teacher conference. I am so busy at work that I am too lazy to have daily emotional communication between husband and wife.
There is also a lack of communication between his father and his children. In Xianji's mind, his father only plays with paternalistic authority, and he and his sister resist with indifference.
Now, even if the family escapes, they have the opportunity to be completely together. Thinking about it this way, it's also a rare experience.
My father initially thought he would just ride his bike to the airport, but unexpectedly all the planes were grounded, the family therefore had no choice but to continue by bike to Kagoshima.
On the road, I met a family who could “sufficiently” eat. Theyknew how to make a fire and identify non-toxic wild vegetables. These skills were not possessed. Xianji's family.
My father pinned his hopes on Osaka, which people said had electricity, but how was that possible? Sure enough, after his arrival, Osaka was still deserted.
I saw a fish shop and joined the queue, but unfortunately it was sold out when it was my turn. Although the father knelt down and asked for a share of the child, he could not get fish soup in exchange.
The family eventually continued to move forward hungry. Without food, water and exhausted, my father was dizzy with hunger and was about to eat live insects in the fields when he suddenly heard the cry of a pig. The family had hope of survival.
After a lot of effort, Dad finally caught the pig. Just when everythingEveryone was happy and ready to have a full meal, the pig's owner suddenly appeared and they were "stopped".
It turned out that the owner's electric fence for raising pigs could not be used due to a power outage, and all the pigs ran away . However, the old man was alone with it. no help and couldn't get it back.
Seeing that Xianji's family of four was worried about food and drink, the old man asked them to sell their labor and catch pigs for him in exchange for food and accommodation. ?
In this way, the family settled in the old man's house and could finally eat, bathe and sleep well. A week later, after the work was completed, the old man asked Xianji and his family if they wanted to stay. In any case, there was no need to worry about food andclothes here, and everyone could take care of each other.
But his father decided to go to Kagoshima because he knew that his stepfather also lived alone and also needed his family. The family of four continued driving toward Kagoshima.
Fortunately, they now have enough supplies to hit the road. The car is full of smoked meat and drinking water for the old man.
Soon they encountered new problems. Using unreliable maps, the family got lost while cycling. There was only a big river in front of them. ahead, we had to cross the river. Just when he was about to succeed, it suddenly started raining heavily and the rush of water quickly swept my father away.
Xianji only picked up her father's wig, but there was no trace of her father. The water flow was so fastthat his father was probably killed.
Only the mother and son remained, and they had to endure their grief and continue on their way. During lunch, my sister Yui kindly wanted to share meat with the stray dogs on the side of the road, but all the meat in her hands was snatched by the dogs, and she also attracted a large group of hungry dogs. Not only did they take away all the food, but my mother also fell down the mountain and injured her leg.
However, the dog still refused to leave after eating the meat, looking at the mother and son with an angry look. Just when they were preparing to fight to the death. The savior appeared and the rumble of the train slowly receded, frightening the dog.
The mother and son were rescued and boarded the steam train to Kagoshima. At that moment, the father who had been carried awaydownstream gradually regained consciousness, saw the steam locomotive and sent a signal with a chimney. The family was finally reunited and the train finally took them to Kagoshima.
After living in Kagoshima for over 2 years, one day the power was finally restored and everything started to return to normal. The family of four returned to Tokyo and started their original life. However, some things have quietly changed.
This film uses a disaster, similar to the end of the world, to show everyone what life would be like without electricity, running water and the many "tools" » available to modern people. rely on to survive.
But only when these things are not available, only then can we truly know what is most valuable and what is the basis of survival.
While modern civilization has apported convenience to life, many human survival skills have gradually disappeared. In fact, we should get them all back.
