What are the duties of the soldiers guarding the island?

Protect China's small island and prevent history from repeating itself.

The text "Isolated Island" promotes the development of the story from the general's point of view. Shortly after the general went to the island, he found a vegetable field. "I can't help but be dumbfounded" and "I really doubt that I am dreaming" are enough to show that the fact that vegetables can be grown on the island has a great influence on the general, and it also shows from the side that it is very difficult to grow vegetables on the island, but such difficulties are actually overcome by soldiers guarding the island.

The general originally made a rule not to eat and live on the island, but temporarily changed his mind and wanted to eat and live on the island for one night. Moreover, in the face of the secretary's dissuasion and the captain's hesitation, the general insisted on his own idea, "I will eat whatever the soldiers eat." It can be seen that everything the general has done is to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers and think about a deeper way of growing vegetables, because all this is closely related to the combat effectiveness of the troops and the border defense of the motherland.

Life of the island-guarding troops

On the island, high temperature, high humidity, high salt, Japanese poison and hot weather all the year round, dark and shiny skin is almost the "standard" on the faces of officers and men guarding the island. The soldiers all said it was called "Xisha Black".

Without the hustle and bustle of the city and colorful life, beaches and reefs are their silent comrades. Although the days of defending the island are hard, they are extremely proud. The life of the troops guarding the island is very hard. Because at the seaside, it makes people feel bad to eat and wear. They only eat vegetables once a week, and the rest eat canned food, which leads to gum ulceration and lip cracking and blistering.
