Survival joke of drifting at sea

In recent years, bear grylls's program "Survival in the Wilderness" is deeply loved by the audience. While marveling at bear grylls's superb survival skills, we more or less fantasize that when we are abandoned on a desert island, can we explode the viability of bear grylls? During the Republic of China, a young man from China staged a real "survival in the wilderness" at sea with strong perseverance and skillful skills, and was finally successfully rescued. So let's take a look today.

The keen sailor escaped the shipwreck.

The story begins with an unexpected shipwreck. From 65438 to 0942, the anti-fascist war was in full swing. At this time, the British merchant ship "Belomon" responded to the call of the military and received the task of transporting goods by sea. For more than 50 crew members on the ship "Belomon", this is just a simple transportation task. However, the accident happened quietly.

As usual, the merchant ship Belomon passed the mouth of the Amazon River in South America in a calm way. However, 750 miles east of the estuary, two torpedoes roared at full speed without warning. In this way, the bewildered Belomon was hit by a torpedo. The "Belomon", which was attacked by a torpedo, sank to the bottom of the sea with the explosion that resounded through the sky. More than 50 crew members on the "Belomon" were basically buried at the bottom of the sea. Except that our hero survived.

The hero of this article has not received professional survival training like bear grylls and others, but is the most common second-class waiter named Poon Lim. Poon Lim spent his childhood wandering around with his father, accepting apprentices to teach art. As a samurai, Poon Lim's father took Poon Lim to wander around the world without a fixed place. In this way, Poon Lim ushered in his eighteenth year in the storm. Poon Lim didn't have a proper way to make a living as an adult. Poon Lim's father doesn't want his son to wander like himself all his life.

But at that time, the ambition of Japanese imperialism was obvious, and they were not satisfied with the militarism of invading the three northeastern provinces of China. They are secretly plotting an evil plan of all-out invasion of China. Under such circumstances, China and Hongkong in a corner were safer than the mainland at that time. So at the suggestion of a friend, my father decided to send Poon Lim to Hong Kong to have a rest.

Poon Lim, who has just arrived in Hong Kong, is walking in the streets of Hong Kong, his eyes full of confusion. At this time, it happened that the shipping company in Hong Kong needed sailors and was recruiting personnel. Poon Lim thinks he can go in and have a try. In the end, Poon Lim became an ordinary apprentice on Tanda.

The talented Poon Lim worked on Tanda for three years and was deeply loved by the crew. Three years later, Poon Lim successfully became an official sailor and served as a second-class waiter on the merchant ship "Belomon".

Before the torpedo hit the merchant ship "Belomon", Poon Lim, with keen nature, found something strange in the water. He quickly took the life jacket and prepared to inform the crew, but the explosion happened in an instant. He jumped into the sea before reminding the crew.

Go with the flow and struggle to survive

As written in Robinson Crusoe, Poon Lim had the same question as Robinson: When he was drifting at sea, his life and death were uncertain, was he lucky or unlucky compared with those sailors who had been buried in the sea? After all, at that time, embattled Poon Lim did not believe that he could escape the clutches of death.

Poon Lim jumped down in the explosion. He grabbed a broken board and the fragments left after the merchant ship Belomon was blown to pieces. Poon Lim drifted on the sea, looking at the empty sea at a loss. However, fate took care of this beloved person for the first time at this time. Poon Lim, floating on the sea, found a lifeboat. On this life-saving lifeboat, there are some food flashlights, potable fresh water and other necessities for survival.

But food and fresh water are things that need to be consumed every day after all. Soon, the food and fresh water on the lifeboat were used up by Poon Lim, and Poon Lim fell into a dilemma of survival. Facing the fresh water crisis, Poon Lim came up with a solution. Poon Lim took all the bottles from the lifeboat and used them to collect all the rainwater when it rained. Fortunately, Poon Lim was shipwrecked in the tropical rain forest climate, and the perennial rainy climate temporarily eased the water shortage crisis in Poon Lim.

However, the more serious problem before him is the lack of food. Friends who have seen survival programs will think of fishing when they talk about ocean survival. For Poon Lim without any tools, this is amazing. Poon Lim, who was at a loss for fishing, accidentally saw some small fish following his lifeboat at the bottom, preying on crustaceans attached to the bottom of the lifeboat.

Poon Lim brightened up at the moment, caught some insects docked in the lifeboat and crustaceans attached to the edge of the lifeboat, and used them as bait. After numerous failures and many attempts, he finally caught a small fish. In this way, Poon Lim struggled to survive in this vast sea by eating fish and drinking rain.

Missed two chances to be saved.

During 133 days of wandering, Poon Lim had two chances to be rescued.

On one occasion, a German merchant ship passed through Poon Lim, and Poon Lim shouted at the German merchant ship like grasping at straws. The German crew also noticed the drifter like a savage, so they moved the boat near Poon Lim. However, close to the German crew found that it turned out to be a China. The German crew who ignored Poon Lim immediately broke down and left Poon Lim, leaving Poon Lim with another kind of despair.

The second time, when an American plane flew across the Atlantic Ocean, Poon Lim was found drifting at sea. This time, the United States decided to lend a helping hand. The American plane left a mark in Poon Lim, ready to send someone to help after returning home. Unfortunately, while Poon Lim was waiting for rescue, there were strong winds and huge waves at sea, which blew away the signs of saving lives.

After two failed rescues, Poon Lim did not give up hope. Finally, after 133 days of hard survival, Poon Lim drifted to the coastline and was rescued by coastal residents, ending his drifting and returning to the mainland.

Poon Lim's experience shows his indomitable fighting spirit and courage in the face of natural difficulties. In fact, for many young people who have lived in the city for a long time, watching programs like Survival in the Wilderness only adds a few drops of excitement to their quiet life. What we should really learn is the wisdom of active survival and the spirit of never giving up embodied in Poon Lim.
