The boiling water method is

Submitted by Xin Lu on January 17, 2008 - 13:32.

The boiling water method is actually what I grew up with in China in the 80s.  The hot showers are only available in these communal places.  Now most homes have water heaters, but when I was young we boiled water with coal blocks.  In the summer it's hot enough to just have cold showers and baths, though.
