DaChan Island is an uninhabited island located in the waters of the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong, located in the "first-class waterway" between Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland, and is responsible for the important task of island protection. There is a special group of "gatekeepers" stationed on the island, who are shovelsCustomsof the customs officers. Among them, the 26-year-old shovelCustomsGuan Renjie, a customs officer in the supervision section 1, is the youngest member on the island, and has completed the first life on the island since he was transferred to work and live on the island three months agoChinese New Year。Guan Renjie is from Danyang, Jiangsu Province, and for a person who has lived in a wide plain since he was a child, it is really an unexpected joy to be able to work and live on an island with an area of less than one square kilometer.

Guan Renjie and his colleagues are ready to set off for inspectionships, the supervision boat rides the wind and waves on the sea. Due to the relatively low sea surface water level in winter, it is to be testedshipsThe height difference with the supervision boat is more than 2 meters, so a gangway is required to assist with boarding. In the case of continuous swelling of the sea, Guan Renjie quickly climbed onto the ship to be inspected with his skillful skills, showing excellent boarding skills. His colleague Zou Weiming recalls that when Guan Renjie first came to the island, he struggled almost step by step, but after continuous practice, he now has no obstacles to climb the gangway. After inspection, the vessel was found to be free of abnormalities and was successfully released, and the full load of fresh and fresh goods will soon become a delicacy on the table of Hong Kong citizens.
At the same time, in the big shovelCustoms, Zhong Jiejun, deputy chief of the technical operation and maintenance support department, was busy in the kitchen, preparingChinese New Yearof meals.

Zhong Jiejun revealed that the proportion of customs officers in the north of the island is close to half, and for many years, the big shovelCustomsThe habit of eating dumplings to welcome the New Year has been formed. The cabbage and celery, which are used for the filling, are grown by the customs officers themselves, reflecting the self-sufficiency of the customs officers on the island. In addition to making dumplings, they also prepared a "hard dish" - white-cut chicken, and the ingredients were ** in the chicken coop opened by the customs officers on the island. On this island, the customs officers have developed the habit of self-reliance, and behind every meal is their hard work and sweat.
In the evening, in the monitoring and command center, the deputy chief of the supervision sectionZhou TingWhile enjoying the meal delivered by a colleague, I paid attention to the display on the big screen on the wallECDIS。He saw flashing yellow squares on the chart, markingLingdingyangReal-time navigation of passing vessels.

At the same time, Zou Weiming shouted loudly outside to ensure safety: "Can you still move?" What's the situation inside? After Guan Renjie verified in the cabin, he immediately responded to ensure that everything was safe. A little more than an hour later, they completed their inspection and returned to the island. Guan Renjie walked back to the dormitory and talked to his family**, although he has been in Guangdong for a year, he will still miss the soft pocket long fish made by his father and the Pingqiao tofu made by his mother.

The above is about the big shovelCustomsCustoms officers live in a special way on an uninhabited island. Not only did they have to take on the responsibility of protecting the island, but they also had to overcome various difficulties in work and life, demonstrating the spirit of perseverance and self-reliance. Despite the harsh living conditions on the island, they have always stood at their posts and guarded the safety of the sea. This spirit of silent dedication is admirable. I hope that such stories can be known by more people, so that the work of these "gatekeepers" will receive more respect and attention. May they safely guard this blue sea and guard the safety of every sailor.
