電影《守島人》選取王繼才夫婦守島生涯的經(jīng)典片段和閃光瞬間，從不同側(cè)面展現(xiàn)了王繼才夫婦豐富的內(nèi)心世界和“守島就是守國”的家國情懷。

1 Island Keeper， directed by Chen Li， tells the story of Wang Jicai and his wife Wang Shihua， who lived on Kaishan Island in Guanyun County， East Chinas Jiangsu Province， and devoted their lives to the national coast defense.

2 Director Chen Li revealed that in order to re?enact （再現(xiàn)） the protagonists lives， the creative team and crew traveled to Kaishan Island many times to conduct interviews and experience the life and harsh environment there. They even lived alongside Wangs wife， who still lives on the island， to note down details and understand the duties of an island guard.

3 As an outpost （前哨） on Chinas Yellow Sea， Kaishan Island measures only 0.013 square kilometers， about the size of two football fields， and living conditions are poor. The Wangs lived and worked there for more than three decades until Wang Jicai died of illness at 58 in July 2018. Following his death， Wang Shihua applied to take over her husbands duties.

4 The film highlights several events in the couples lives， such as how they felt lost when they first moved to the island， how they saved a man from drowning， fought with smugglers， delivered their baby in a rainstorm， and celebrated the Spring Festival on the island. These scenes convey the love and inner world of Wang and his wife， as well as their noble commitment and belief that “guarding the island is protecting the country”. The film also re?enacts the couples 32?year?long struggle with the islands harsh natural environment and how they battled typhoons and rainstorms throughout the years.

5 The real Wang Shihua， who was a teacher before she moved to the island with her husband， attended the films premiere in Beijing and shared memories of her husbands patriotism （愛國主義） and dedication. “He wanted to guard the island， so I decided to stay with him，” she said before expressing gratitude to the films creators. “The film made me think of many things that had happened. While my husband doesnt have the chance to see the film， I want to thank you on his behalf for telling the island guarding story to the world.”
