In summer, the island is hot and humid, and there are so many mosquitoes that the couple have to sleep on the roof. The winter is unbearable, so they have to move to a cave where the sea breeze can't blow for the night. Before long, they all suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and severe eczema, and they were covered with white spots the size of coins, which made them itch unbearable. They often wake up in the middle of the night and have to beat each other and spend sleepless nights.
When the typhoon came, ships could not go out to sea, and Kaishan Island really became an island. "There are only two of us on the vast sea, and the days when food and water are cut off will be met several times a year." Wang Shihua recalled that once, the wind blew for 17 days, and we ran out of firewood, so we couldn't cook. "We are dizzy with hunger and our legs are weak. We can only soak raw rice in water and chew it dry, just like chewing sand. This taste is really unacceptable. I have been chewing for five days in a row, and I am so hungry that I can't say anything. "
