Twenty-two-year-old Tsering Lhamo had a hard life in a village of Burang County at an altitude of 3,900 meters, where temperatures fall -15 ℃ at night. Solar panels can only guarantee lighting for at most two hours, but they cannot power the television. Feeling cold and lonely now and then makes Tsering, the volunteer kindergarten teacher consider returning home.

That is an epitome of the remote areas in China. There still remain some villagers who don't even have access to electricity during the long nights while some rich people begin to visit the North Pole to experience the polar night.

In order to benefit them, Li Keqiang, Premier of China's State Council stated in the government work report that the government should "strive to bring electricity to the last remaining 200,000 people who are currently without it".

This means that, China the world's second largest economy hopes to usher in this overdue light all over the country, 136 years after Edison invented electric light and mankind stepped into the electric era.

People without electricity are mainly referred to as a population unable to be covered by the main national power grid. Most of these households without electricity are in remote, inaccessible areas. In Tibet, Xinjiang, Yunnan and other sparsely populated areas, many people have been living deep in the mountains for long periods of time, far away from the power grid load center. They live in poor environments for construction, which carry high costs for such projects.

According to Thupden Khetrup, who has acted as a CPPCC member twice, electric power is the most important infrastructure of the remote areas. The complete elimination of the population without electricity will synchronize border regions with the rest of the country.

In order to solve the problem of farmers and herdsmen accessing electricity, Tibet has launched the "Golden Sun" project since 2009. By the end of 2013, Tibet achieved a rate of 100 percent power grid connectivity of all the villages.

Coming from Tibet's Medog County, the "post-1980s-born" Padma Chodron is the only ethnic Moinba deputy at the National People's Congress (NPC). She said that there used to be many administrative villages outside the Medog County seat which were unable to connect to the power grid for a long time.

Today, thanks to the continuously operation of power station, the lighting problem has been solved for people in 46 villages. This year, every household is expected to be able to run lighting and large-scale electrical appliances at the same time, being able to use an electric mixer to beat the yak butter.

"Constructing and reconstructing over 200,000 kilometers of rural roads", "thoroughly and continuously concentrating on the development and poverty alleviation of destitute areas" and "reducing the rural poverty population": the government work report strengthened Tsering Lhamo's conviction in grass-roots level service.

"If there is electricity, I can prepare lessons under a light at night, and I can also use a computer to play movies for the children. If the weather is cold, I can also sleep under an electric blanket," she said.

Tsering Lhamo said that her biggest wish was that the main power grid would cover the village as soon as possible, letting the 17 children of the first kindergarten in the village be able to grow up as other children in the city.
