Green Changsha

 Although much has been heard, but only after a visit to the Spratly Islands, we can understand the extreme, violent nature, the weather at sea. But despite everything, the germ is still rising grass-green, not only strong but also in the floating islands on the island and the rig sank.
After leaving the island of Song Tu Tay, turn the ship HQ 936 waves, we visited the island to sink first journey: Da Nam islands. It was near sunset, the captain - Captain Ngo Duc Dung asked the members to canoe on the island quickly. We have to win every minute, by the low tide, coral reefs emerged, boats can run aground, the move inevitable danger. Male rock out in front of us so close. In the heart of many people first see the island with a deep sink suddenly rising real feelings hard to describe. On the island there is only one house, acres in the heart of the vast ocean.

Knowing how difficult life of his face: lack of fresh water, often struggling with the sun, pouring hot as fire, sometimes as the raging storms of the sea. Yet, while she stepped on the island, in front of us the first impression is filled with the green of life. Every area of ​​the drum is full utilization of his vegetable garden to make a young, rich with the variety, any vegetable, vegetables, no spinach, vegetables, jute ... The place where the weather conditions extreme, salinity is very high in the air, can not imagine there are so lush gardens. The soldiers take advantage of each shift fresh water used for bathing, laundry, personal activities to irrigate vegetables. Phong overseas Vietnamese lieutenant - Stone Island South Island chief said, when the storm, strong winds, high waves and snapping up all the vegetable garden. Despite heavy rain, strong winds and the danger, the soldiers rush out to rescue vegetables, use canvas cover, "care for vegetables when more care of himself" - Vietnamese lieutenant Phong Kieu joke.

Not only vegetables, on the island also keep chickens and ducks. Phong overseas Vietnamese lieutenant remember the first time new 12 baby ducks from land to farming: "At that time, a new flock to the island are new to salt water environment so sore eyes. The brothers immediately think of ways take out your eye drops for ducks investigation. " "Forum ducks accustomed to live in the mainland, to the sea to the island just thought ... the pond. There when we invite each other to swim very far, the soldiers have to canoe to pick out the duck" - he said.
The fresh green garden, the poultry barn would appear on the sinking islands we visited then the Stone Market, Big Stone, Len Dao, Da Tay, Da Lat, Da Dong. On the last day, we visited the rig DK1/16. Although the waves still, quiet pool, but to reach the rig, the boat takes us back turned away twice. All uncertainties, dangers can occur. Two sailors have to help each member to iron staircase. We understand each bar careful climbing stairs while staying just below the deep sea is rising each wave. Once on the platform at a height of tens of meters above sea level, many people feel hard to breathe because of lack of air. To the rainy season, waves, strong winds make the rig was lean. However, when we came here, the bed of spinach to round inserts are grown together.
Been witnessed, the more we admire the creativity, energy rose to overcome all difficulties to adapt to all circumstances of the soldiers. Not only a solid day and night fighters defend the sovereignty of the sea, islands of the country where he also brings more Spratly more green sprouts.
