outpost standing in the South China Sea, Li Wenbo imposing appearance. South China Sea Fleet of the Political Department to provide

first met Li Wenbo, is the eternal Reef in the Spratly Islands on. Medium build, dark, reticent, a marine camouflage exudes the smell of sour sweat – he is the kind of multi-Kanji Yan difficult to impress people.

“students to Nansha 20 years.” He introduced me to the political commissar.

my heart a move, could not help but look back at him, and that a gray hair and some eye-catching.

“28 times to go to the Nansha, total garrison more than 2900 days; He created the first 10 Nansha hydrometeorological, hydrological and meteorological data for the UNESCO to provide more than 1.4 million units …” political commissar of the series to said Li Wenbo. So, I stopped and began “pondering” the Nansha garrison weather engineers.

1991 June Li Wenbo that the newly established hydrological and meteorological Nansha garrison needed professional cadres, graduated from Ocean University of China, he refused to take is preparing for the wedding, decided to register to Nansha Wing Reef weather stations.

“just up on the dumbfounded,” When it comes to the Nansha and meteorological observations, Li Wenbo will open the Round Table: “not afraid of suffering, is Jia, anxious to set up a decent stations, can not always is manual, awkward computing it. My goal is facilities-based, modern equipment, precise observation, although a higher level of support, it is also hard to dry ah. more than 1400 km from the mainland, three or four months to come boat trip, a small lack of East West will not speak, just this high temperature, high salt, high humidity environment for difficult die you, good equipment, did not take long to destroy. “

Li Wenbo know shoulder the burden. “I’m here is No. 74 United Nations International marine meteorological observing stations, all the meteorological data, should be reported to the UNESCO, to participate in international exchange and sharing.” Li Wenbo, not without pride. Under his leadership, took two years to upgrade more than 10 field points, field observation, forecasting room, meteorological satellite data receiving system, weather data satellite communications system, readily available, the southernmost tip of the motherland with modern stations .

“where weather data is really that important?” I asked.

“Of course.” Li Wenbo said earnestly: “Jianzhan before the Nansha Islands often ship sank National Maritime Bureau statistics show that, since the Wing Reef marine meteorological observing stations of meteorological and sea state forecasting , never seen this sea shipwreck. “

to the” zero accident “, Li Wenbo, and his comrades of the weather forecast is necessary to” zero error. ” To “zero error” will find out the “Sea Dragon King” in temper, to find out weather the South China Sea to generate complex rules. Li Wenbo use of knowledge in school, careful study. Observation, recording, analysis, comparison … “Nansha District, the characteristics of the monsoon wind transition” “Nansha area variation during the waves” and other papers have been published. He summed up by the typhoon, the strong cold air on the effects and characteristics of the Nansha sea area, always has the pulse of the Nansha Sea area generated waves.

this is not met, the Nansha sea meteorological operations for lack of professional training materials, he spent several years and “fiddle” out of a more than 10 million words, “teaching marine hydrometeorological observations.”

year after year, day after day, Li Wenbo, and his comrades every two hours, depends on wind direction, wind speed, temperature, tide, nearly 20 elements of data collection, every 3 hours to report a higher level meteorological observations. Li Wenbo led 74 international stations in a row over 7000 days to create error-free record, subject to international peer recognition.

“Some people say that the garrison loyal to reef tired, lonely no one to accompany the garrison, I would think that the U.S. garrison garrison music, drunk people to the garrison of the day.” This language is almost poetic Li Wenbo expression of the truth from the heart.

this truth comes from the love of an ordinary party members and responsibilities, as well as brave soldiers.

that, Nansha Islands suffered 12 typhoons, outdoor wind comes up, monstrous sea waves, a small reef seems shaky. “Such a large storm is too dangerous, so you can see the smaller waves and then to the outdoor observation.” Leadership on the reef to seek Li Wenbo comments.

“No! Bad weather this information is the focus of our data collection, and then a risk measure can not be missed!” Finished, Levin Bozha on the seat belt, with a squad leader, wore giant wind waves, helped each other, crawl to the observation point.

Morijima comrades can not describe the kind of dangerous scenes, not the seat belt system if you only know a Li Wenbo, where he had been drawn into the waves.

struggle with waves more than two hours later, Li Wenbo finally got under adverse sea conditions valuable data. A return to barracks, he collapsed, one fell to the ground.

With this dedication, he reported the meteorological data is considered the best grade and has been rated as excellent information on the Navy.

20 years passed, Li Wenbo record the highest number of the garrison, garrison the longest cumulative record, outstanding party members, the army advanced hydrological and meteorological workers, third class and other medals have been linked to in his chest.

“July”, we return to the mainland for Li Wenbo, go to the South China Sea Fleet, he introduced his own deeds. His calm water, but he spoke of the Spratly Islands, mentioned his observation station, will be showing excitement and pride!

rotations have to sail the ship. Taking into account Li Wenbo older, and suffering from arthritis, dizziness, ringing in the ears, the son of the college entrance examination this year, we advised him to rest at home for some time. But he said: “back to the mainland the first few days of fresh, live two weeks on Daibu Zhu, and always feel Nansha is my home, back where there is feeling, have fun.” In his insistence, and one foot to go to the Nansha voyage.

looking at his back, I remembered the words he said: “My greatest happiness is to watch China Central Television broadcast the Nansha weather forecasters, although only a short sentence, but full of me and comrades of the hard work stations and to pay the National People are watching us with data, which is how much happiness! “In his view, he Nansha love, the love of weather and all the hard work to pay the compensation received by , are included in this day in a short sentence.
