There is such a female scientist in China’s oceanographic scientific research activities. As the chief scientist, she led the team to execute multiple Chinese oceanic scientific research voyages, including the groundbreaking Oceania 24, 28 and 28 jointly executed by the deep integration of military and civilians. 33 voyages. "I feel endless fun from my work, and I am willing to devote myself to it." Under the background that men are the majority on oceanographic research ships, and women are in single digits, this female scientist from the Second Institute of Oceanology, She did not stop because of gender differences. Instead, she embraced the beauty of the ocean she loved with the delicate emotions unique to women.

Han Xiqiu is mainly engaged in the investigation and research of seabed polymetallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts, polymetallic sulfides and natural gas hydrates and other resources and their environment. In the past ten years, it has carried out voyage surveys to the deep sea almost every year. mission, leaving China’s traces on the ocean. As a "Dragon Rose" who has won many honors, including the China Young Female Scientist Award, the National March 8th Red Flag Bearer, the National Advanced Worker, and the National Outstanding Scientific and Technological Worker, someone once asked her to share her success stories. The secret, Han Xiqiu waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "My life has no design, I just do the things I need to do in a down-to-earth manner."

Han Xiqiu once said, don't regard work as work. If it is work, then go to work step by step every day and complete the work. The routine work at hand can be handed over; but once you regard work as a career, it will never end, because it is something you should pursue throughout your life. To outsiders, the scientific research life at sea is boring, but for Han Xiqiu, she is always full of passion when talking about her experiences at sea.

From February to April 2017, my country's "Jiaolong" manned submersible went to the northwest Indian Ocean to perform the first leg of the Ocean 38 voyage. This was the last experimental application voyage after the successful development of the "Jiaolong". The goal is to investigate "black smokers" on the seafloor. As the chief scientist, Han Xiqiu received the "courtesy" of performing the first dive mission of the voyage, and having a trainee submariner serve as the main pilot for the first time, diving to a depth of 3,120 meters. "This requires a lot of courage, but fortunately we returned to the sea safely." "We started preparation work at six o'clock in the morning and started diving at seven o'clock. We arrived at the bottom of the sea in an hour and a half, and then we started busy observing, recording, taking pictures and sampling. We worked non-stop for six hours, and then After floating up, I had time to eat some dry food and drink some water. "I just climbed up the mountain and saw more beautiful scenery." This is the secret of success in Han Xiqiu's heart. It seems to be an understatement, but it is actually her. The result of going to sea for many years and persevering in tackling difficult problems is the result of countless extremely hard "games" with the ocean. It is the result of her hard work and dedication to her beloved cause.

“We will encounter many difficulties during the scientific expedition, such as deteriorating sea conditions, damaged instruments, and various personnel and safety factors. However, if we give up easily in the face of these difficulties, we will probably lose everything. No. I feel that even if there are many difficulties ahead, we must try every means to solve the problem in order to succeed. "In Han Xiqiu's view, one must not be afraid of difficulties and be good at perseverance.

When talking about how to balance family and work, Han Xiqiu said frankly that it was the solid family support that allowed her to have less worries and be able to devote herself wholeheartedly to the career she loves. "Even when I'm at home, my husband does more of the housework," Han Xiqiu said with a smile. This female scientist who is "ready to set sail at any time as long as her body allows" will continue to lead our country's ocean science expedition team to embark on a journey of ocean exploration and embrace the surprises brought by ocean science expeditions in the blue ocean.
