↓What's the story behind the backpack rope?

The shot of The Big Wave almost rolling Wang Jicai into the sea in the film "The Guardian of the Island" is the daily life of Wang Jicai and Wang Shihua patrolling Kaishan Island. In post-production, the film fully uses special effects and other technical means to truly reproduce their life on the island in harsh environments such as typhoons, heavy rains, and huge waves, giving people a strong impact, shock and appeal.

Once, Wang Jicai and Wang Shihua were patrolling the seashore, and a big wave came over, and Wang Jicai's whole body was swept into the sea. Another wave came, and Wang Shihua saw that Wang Jicai, who was soaking wet, was grabbing the rocks on the shore and climbing up, so he quickly ran over and dragged him up with great effort. Since then, they have gone out on patrol, and they have tied a backpack rope around their waists to take care of each other.

↓How did Kaishan Island become a Green Island?

Seeing that the island was bare, Wang Jicai asked the fishermen to bring soil from the shore and began to plant trees. In the first year, more than 100 poplar trees were planted, all of which died; in the second year, more than 50 locust trees were planted, and none of them survived; in the third year, more than a pound of neem seeds were sown, and finally a small sapling grew... Now Kaishan Island is full of vitality, purple trumpet flowers can be seen everywhere, pine trees, fig trees, neem trees are lush, and a patriotic education base has also been built on Kaishan Island. However, the natural conditions facing Kaishan Island are still cruel, and they still need to be carefully guarded by "island owners" like Wang Jicai.

The tide of the great waves sweeping in

Lonely and remote island

A lighthouse that stands straight

Gritty and brave figure

It all speaks of the selflessness and greatness of the island keepers

We are all island keepers
