This book is based on the legendary life of China's first female oceanographer Liu Enlan, and outlines a magnificent picture of a woman breaking through the shackles and devoting herself to the motherland's maritime undertakings.
Liu Enlan, who was born in 1905, suffered from the preference for boys over girls since childhood, but determined to study with his stubborn character. She traveled across mountains and seas to study in Europe and the United States, becoming China's first female Ph. D. In physical geography. During World War II, she took a submarine to inspect the English Channel and provided key hydrological data to the Allies. When the country was in ruins, she refused the generous treatment abroad and risked her life to return to the country, sticking to the front line of education amidst war and hardship.
When she was nearly fifty years old, she responded to the call of the country and turned to hydrographic surveying. She led the students to cut through the waves, travel across the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, and complete the one-ten thousandth scale bathymetry map that filled the gap in the country. In her later years, she still cared about the blue land. In her 70s, she devoted herself to coastal inspections. At the age of 77, she proposed marine management and devoted her life to marine scientific research and personnel training.
The novel reproduces her transformation from a rural orphan to an academic leader with delicate writing, depicting her persistence and choices in the face of feudal prejudice, the flames of war, and scientific research dilemmas. It demonstrates her innocent feelings of "remaining true to her original aspiration and dedicating herself to the country" and composes a hymn dedicated to the pioneers of China's maritime industry.
Do you need me to adjust the focus of the introduction (such as strengthening the plot conflict or highlighting the spiritual core), or add specific details?
