    Values

    Liu Yu, a young recruit, has found friends whose values and spirit he can emulate.

    "Before coming here, I didn't have any idea about the future or a strong faith in life. However, I have met many friends from across China on the island. Through living with and talking to them, I have gained insights into how to live a meaningful life," the 19-year-old said.

    "Unlike my friends in high school, most of my comrades, even those from wealthy families, know they should be independent from their parents and make a life on their own."

    Fan said the island is now his second home.

    "When I am here, I miss my family, but when I am at home, I miss my comrades. My family understands and supports my work," he said.

    "We can't relax mentally even for a second because we are located in the East China Sea. Our country's eastern gate needs to be guarded by someone-we are that 'someone' and we are not afraid of any hardships."
