When the passenger ship "Haikou No.2" that we took passed the Century Bridge, it was night. The sunset glow in the west sprinkled the last afterglow and reflected it on the sea. The passenger ship broke through the waves in this colorful blue sea and sailed for Beibu Gulf. ...
I stood on the deck and looked at the new port that was fading away. The night view of Haikou is so beautiful that it is hard to give up. The Century Bridge and the unique high-rise buildings along the coast are brightly lit, which makes you feel that Haikou, a modern city with marine characteristics, is coming towards you, full of affection and special liking.
Perhaps it is necessary to go out of town and leave home, and it is inevitable to be reluctant to go. Although I swam across the Beibu Gulf ten years ago, I can imagine that when I swam across the Beibu Gulf tonight, the excitement and freshness still occupied my whole heart, and the waves overlapped and shone brightly. My colleagues with me are all smiling and excited. With the whistle of the passenger ship, the ship has sailed into the Beibu Gulf, and it is already ten o'clock in the evening. In the Beibu Gulf at night, the sea is wide and calm, and many ships pass by. There are fishing boats, cargo tankers and passenger ships at night. They are far and near, like bright stars, falling on the calm sea, dotted with the beauty of Beibu Gulf.
It's late at night, and fewer and fewer people stand on the deck to watch the night scene. The evening breeze blows gently, bringing a little coolness to people. However, the waves kissed the gentle beat of the passenger ship, as if playing the beautiful music of the mermaid, adding a bit of mystery to the Beibu Gulf in the night, attracting you and retaining you.
At this time, a bright moon hangs over the Beibu Gulf, and the sea water under the silver light is full of waves. The broken blue waves and flashing scales of passenger ships alternate, depicting the fairy tale of the Beibu Gulf. The two waves set off by our passenger ship are like mermaids dancing with long sleeves in the silvery blue waves. The original steel-like posture has become soft, elegant and graceful in the vast Beibu Gulf. The sea beautifies our ships in this way, and its charm is very powerful. The Beibu Gulf at night makes us look forward to it and intoxicated us. ...
When the passenger ship sailed into the border waters between China and Vietnam, the lights of the coastal cities in Vietnam could be seen faintly, which aroused my infinite reverie.
Beibu Gulf used to be the Maritime Silk Road from southern China to ASEAN countries. Many overseas Chinese in Hainan cross the ocean through this waterway, and my father does business through this wide waterway. At that time, they all went to Fangcheng, Guangxi, and Saigon, Vietnam to purchase black silks and satins, tobacco, soap and other commodities. Their business is very good. They have made many friends. They are all sailboats, sailing by compass. The wind and waves are dangerous. Every time they talk about the experience of shipping goods in Beibu Gulf, he can't finish. If his old man is still alive, I really want to accompany him to visit Beibu Gulf again. It is not easy for my father to bring up our family of seven. He has experienced a lot and paid a lot. He suffered, was bullied and humiliated. He never gave up the responsibility of supporting his family. He didn't leave us until he was 83 years old, which is considered as a long-lived and blessed person.
Ten years ago, I took my son across Beibu Gulf for the first time. He was eight years old. I was sent by my boss to Beihai to learn about the aquatic products market, and the travel expenses were all inclusive. In order to save the father and son from buying only one bed, the room on board is limited and the bed is very small. The two of them slept together, and I almost watched the children and listened to the sound of the waves all night. This angelic guardian may be a kind of fatherly love. On the second day in Beihai, there was a description in his diary: "If my friend's father was a captain, I would tell him to ask his father to change a big bed for us and let my father sleep with me." Looking at the innocent words of the child, I burst into tears. Isn't this the love interaction and love between people? Love is natural and needs to be soaked and moistened. The first trip to Beibu Gulf froze me in this mood.
It's four o'clock in the morning, and the moon is gradually disappearing into the clouds. I'm still standing by the boat, not sleepy at all. The whole sea is so quiet that I can only hear the collision between the ship and the waves. My heart is quiet, and I suddenly feel that the whole bay is mine. The twinkling stars in the sky, the jumping beacon lights on the sea, and the fish swimming in the sea, we are intimate, talking about everything, doing everything and being unrestrained. It is somewhat similar to the tranquility described in "Moonlit Night on the Lotus Pond" read in middle school.
The moon is gone, the whole sea is yellow, the fog is entangled, and the sea breeze is wet. Our passenger ship slowly sails into Beihai Port. At six o'clock in the morning, Beihai Port is gray, and people who go out to sea in Beibu Gulf are trading seafood in the harbor. Ships are like floating markets, and the scene is quite lively. Beibu Gulf is one of the largest fishing grounds in southern China. It is rich in fish resources and many mineral resources, especially oil and natural gas resources. It will become an important field of economic cooperation and common development between China and ASEAN countries. "shelving disputes and developing together" is the premise of ASEAN cooperation. The aggression of plundering resources by war has been denounced and condemned by all countries in the world, which is an unworkable atrocity. In accordance with world rules and market rules, civilized consultation, common development, mutual benefit and win-win situation. This kind of win-win situation is the main theme of transnational and interregional economic development in the world today, and it is also the foundation of world peace, harmony, harmony and economic development, and the formation of the European Union is also based on this. When will ASEAN be like the European Union, with no borders, free exchange of people and no fortress of trade, like a big family? I think the Beibu Gulf will be more colorful at that time.
When the passenger ship docked, thirteen of us arrived in Beihai, and the trip to Beibu Gulf in the evening was over. We will start a pleasant journey in four provinces and one city, but the charming night in Beibu Gulf is still fresh in our minds.
