A small island in the Yellow Sea has no fresh water and electricity. Why did a couple in Jiangsu stick to it for 32 years?

"Falling red is not heartless, but turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers."

Few people can stand it when they are divorced from modern life and live a life that is almost isolated from the world. But for Wang Jicai and his wife, this life has been almost the same for 32 years, because they are the "island owners" of Kaishan Island.

Kaishan Island, located in Wei Yan Port, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province 12 nautical mile in the Yellow Sea, covers an area of only 13000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of two football fields. When the Japanese invaded China, the first occupation was Kaishan Island. Therefore, although Kaishan Island is small, it is a military fortress.

But Kaishan Island is like a hermit, standing alone at sea. It takes an hour by boat, and there is nothing on the island. Coupled with frequent typhoons, ships can't dock at all, because going to Kaishan Island is equivalent to sitting in a "water dungeon".

Because of this, I went back and forth to Kaishan Island several times, the longest stay was only 13 days, and the shortest was only 3 days. Few people could stand such bad weather until Wang Jicai and his wife went to the island.

"I went voluntarily, and the island must be guarded."

Wang Jicai resolutely took food and clothes and came to the island. Before going to the island, Wang Jicai worked in southern Jiangsu for several years. Compared with the island, it's really delicious. Especially those who worked together in the past, now they have a lot of money at home, but Wang Jicai's family is hard up.

From 1986, the annual salary of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Jicai is only 3,700 yuan. Even if the lighthouse was completed 1995, the salary increased by 2000 yuan, but for a family with three children, this money is really nothing. In Wang Jicai's words, it is "other people's homes have deposit slips and their own homes have bills."

It is precisely because of the difficult environment on the island that one year's salary is not worth the money earned by others in a month. The family advised them not to stay on the island and even found them a job, but Wang Jicai was always single-minded.

"I'm gone, who will keep Kaishan Island?"

Yes, if Jude Wong leaves like this, how many people are willing to protect Kaishan Island? Therefore, Wang Jicai took root for 32 years. A few years ago, Kaishan Island was a little-known place, but in a few years, it suddenly became a "land of feng shui".

Smuggling and smuggling, Kaishan Island became a transit point. As the guardian of Kaishan Island, Wang Jicai not only has to stop this kind of behavior, but also has to put up with piles of money sent by criminals, which is another test for Wang Jicai. But Wang Jicai persisted, guarding the sea for 32 years.

Even if Wang Jicai went to the island without regret, he still owed something, especially his three children and his wife. Compared with Wang Jicai, Wang Shihua is well-off and a primary school teacher. At that time, Wang Shihua took a fancy to Wang Jicai at a glance. Although Wang Jicai's family is poor, he is honest.

According to Wang Jicai, if it weren't for him, his wife might have become a full-time teacher. It turns out that Wang Shihua once took her daughter to visit Wang Jicai on the island and was shocked by the environment on the island. He didn't know that Wang Jicai not only has to endure loneliness every day, but also faces all kinds of dangers. Without further ado, Wang Shihua quit his job and went to the island to accompany Wang Jicai.

Get Wang Jicai or Wang Shihua pregnant and have children. At that time, Wang Shihua was nearing the delivery date, but Wang Jicai didn't send his wife to the hospital. As a result, Wang Jicai delivered the baby herself. Fortunately, mother and son are safe, otherwise Jude Wong will regret it for the rest of his life. The moment she heard her son cry, Wang Jicai, who didn't cry easily, cried like a child.

It was also because he was guarding Kaishan Island that Wang Jicai's parents died and his daughter was married, and he was not present. The money my son needs to go to college to marry his wife is also borrowed from others. In this way, on this small island, the couple persisted for 32 years, but never gave up. Until 20 18, Wang Jicai suddenly became ill while on duty and died after being rescued. This insistence was shelved.

summary

In the eyes of most people, it is not worth giving up one's family for everyone. But for Jude Wong, this is a must, is it worth it? There are so many things in the world that can't be measured by benefits, because some things are priceless.
