What is the climate like on the island?

The dilapidated barracks of the company halfway up the mountain. These barracks are old barracks built in the 1960s and 1970s. Due to the long-term erosion of sea wind and sea fog, most of the barracks have become dilapidated. In winter, when you burn a fire wall to keep warm

it suddenly becomes smoky; if you are not careful at night, there is a possibility of gas poisoning.

The company is stationed alone on a small island. Due to the high mountains and steep slopes, it is difficult to grow vegetables. The company often cannot eat vegetables. Sometimes it is really difficult and has to dig wild vegetables. The biggest difficulty on the island is the lack of fresh water. The company relies on water transportation from the mainland for 5 or 6 years a year. We often use water for multiple purposes. The rice water is used for washing vegetables, and the face water is saved for washing clothes. There is no regular electricity on the island, and there are no transportation ships.

Clothes and quilts cannot be dried outside the house, and they will inevitably be invaded by rainwater when placed indoors. The island is very foggy and humid, especially in spring and summer, and the clothes on your body and the quilt on your bed are rarely dry for a few days. There are also strong winds. From the beginning of winter to the following spring, winds of level 5 or 6 are common, and winds of level 7 or 8 are also frequent. Windless weather is rare. The biggest feature of winter is the large temperature difference. The sun is very comfortable during the day, but the cold can make you shiver at night. Within a few days of winter, my hands and ears were frostbitten. Faced with the harsh climate and dilapidated accommodation conditions on the island, the veterans reluctantly made up a jingle: "In winter, the north wind blows, so wear fur coats and fur hats, and wear masks when sleeping at night, otherwise your nose will freeze off; in summer, there will be clouds and fog." Going around the mountains, your clothes and quilts won’t dry in the sun. If you stay there for five or six years, you’re guaranteed to develop arthritis
