A boy in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, suffers from a rare genetic disease that means he never sweats.
Hu Fengyi, 12, has never sweated since he was born.
"He has to stay in an air-conditioned room every minute in the hot weather and has to drink a lot of water to keep cool. As he cannot sweat, he has to go to the toilet frequently. So he is unable to sleep much," said his mother.
The parents have taken the boy to see many doctors, but there is no effective treatment for the boy's condition.
The local power company learning of the boy's condition has said it will make every effort to ensure power supply to the boy's house.
