Passage 6

“Get up,the water is coming.”Yan Xinzhi,director of the neighborhood committee of Chaoyang Street,Taiyuan,capital of Shanxi Province,would knock at the door of every household at midnight to have people collect water;otherwise,the tap water would soon run dry when everyone in the city got up and joined the“water rush”in the morning.Yan,an elderly lady about 60,had served as committee director for more than 20 years;her major work was to rouse her neighbors from their sleep to get water.As time went by,residents could not go to sleep before one o’clock in the morning.“起床，水来了。“严新芝，山西省会太原市朝阳街居委会主任委员会主任，会在半夜敲每个家庭的门叫人收集水；否则，自来水将很快枯竭，城市的每个人都在早上起身加入“集水”。严，一个约60老年妇女，曾担任委员会主任超过20年；主要工作是要从他们的睡眠唤醒她的邻居得到水。随着时间的推移，居民可以在早上一点前不睡觉。
