The continued existence of the island

This is an island in the East China Sea, which belongs to Zhoushan Archipelago and is closest to Ningbo. Like most small islands, there are more rocks than land; A long time ago, the seeds of plants came with the wind, and now green covers the mountains and plains on the island. On this day, I also came. It blew like the wind, perhaps faster than the wind. This is the speed of the high-speed rail and the convenience of the car.

Leave the land, slowly enter the embrace of the island, enter the bridge construction project department and visit the production area first. This is a relatively concentrated area, and the tall red gantry crane is the most eye-catching, like a steel giant; The ground is flat and smooth, just like a playground; The tall and thick white cement tank is like a huge granary; Neat factory buildings, orderly stacked materials, white walls sprayed with safety slogans, safety common sense and brilliant achievements of the team in the past; The steel processing workshop is spacious and bright. Our project departments all over the motherland are like this. Bridge workers are making beams for the cross-sea bridge under construction. By then, the Long Bridge will string the large and small islands in this sea area like pearls and connect them with the mainland, making transportation and trade more convenient. This is the karma of accumulating goodness and virtue.

Go out of the production area and come to the office and living area. In the courtyard facing the sea, three flags were raised high at the door, and hunting fluttered in the wind; This is much better than the old barracks. In the middle of the yard, there is a big rectangular flower pond with fish and lotus flowers. The fish swam comfortably between the small and round lotus leaves, and the lotus showed sharp horns. Turn from the yard to the staff dormitory area, but see the corner of the road, where there is soil, there is a vegetable garden; After careful reading, I saw golden flowers blooming among the thick green leaves. Under the flowers are small and lovely green melons with small thorns, as well as peppers and eggplant with small white flowers. Eyes full of green, infinite vitality, nourishing people's temperament; Coupled with various activities, drive away loneliness and stick to every day, adding color and vitality to this island. Although I am in a foreign land, I am no stranger, as if I were in my own yard.

In early summer, the sea is as calm as a virgin. Out of the project department compound, walk around the island and look for local conditions and customs. Soon through the island's most prosperous street city, walked to a mountain temple. There is a lush apricot forest in front of the temple. The apricot blossoms have fallen, and the fruits are covered with branches. Although it is not red, it is also very attractive. Incense fills the air in the temple, green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers sway gracefully in the huge blue-and-white magnetic basin under the porch, and the Buddha statue is lifelike. Layers of stone steps attract people to the highest point, and you can see the scenery on the island. I really want to become a bird, breathe this refreshing breath different from the land, spread my wings and soar everywhere, overlooking the whole island. How many years has this island been here? Who knows? Where do the inhabitants of the island come from? How do they live and survive? People on the land, like me, have been longing for the island and always feel its lovely, mysterious and strange scenery; In fact, there is another daunting aspect: inconvenient transportation, sparsely populated, stormy weather. Robinson drifted to the island, Napoleon was exiled to the island, and their will was exercised on the island. The island was once a paradise for thieves in Jiangyang. Or in order to escape the war or get rid of the pursuit of loyalists, most people in the Central Plains may come or go by boat on a dark night in a month, and when they see the island in the distance, they must be ecstatic and finally find a place of hope; Abandoning the boat on the island, landing to follow, full of children and grandchildren, endless, with the island, with the sun and the moon. I feel respect and awe for this island, the people on this island, every grass and tree, and I know that there are many temples on this island, which are the spiritual halls of immigrants and the holy places to preserve the culture of the Central Plains from generation to generation. I looked west, trying to find traces of the mainland, only the vast sea and the sky; Turning to the east, more islands are dotted. ...

We walked along the path around the sea and stopped at a village. A village is actually a few families by the sea, with low bungalows, which can't be compared with land villages. At this time, when the sun was setting, an old man came across with a hoe on his shoulder and liberation shoes on his feet. When he approached, he showed a dark face, which was caused by the sea breeze and the scorching sun. When I greeted him, the old man was slow to respond and mumbled something like a foreign dialect. On the east side of the road, near the sea, there is a small piece of land planted with vegetables; On the west side of the road is a steep slope. Three or two old men and women are doing things. They are the holdouts of this small village and island.

Now, builders have also come to the island. They should persevere, endure loneliness, blow the sea breeze, soak in the heavy rain, quickly build a bridge between the island and the land, make the natural barrier a thoroughfare, facilitate people's travel, promote the development of business exchanges, and rejuvenate the island. In fact, the project department is also like an island. All small islands need to be adhered to, and loneliness and loneliness must be endured. A person may be an island, but he cannot be an island. He should contact others through the heart bridge. Our job and career is to make this island no longer an island.

As soon as the light came on, we went back to the project department and saw the border guards in twos and threes coming to participate in the ball game. This must be another pleasant and harmonious island night.
