一個人的海島郵路

青島西海岸南側十幾公里外的海域中，有一座聞名遐邇的海島——靈山島，513.6米的海拔使其宛如一座陡峭的海中山。在這里，流傳著一個關于堅守與溫情的故事，主角是53歲的萬衛——靈山島郵局唯一的郵政職工，也是島上唯一的快遞員。

清晨，當第一縷陽光尚未完全驅散海面的薄霧，萬衛便已抵達郵局，開始了他忙碌的一天。檢查郵車，趕往碼頭，等待第一班輪船載著郵件到來，這已成為他每日雷打不動的開場。

靈山島四面環海，輪船是島上居民與外界聯系的唯一交通工具。每當輪船靠岸，萬衛總是第一時間投入工作，他肩扛沉重的包裹，在碼頭與輪船間來回奔波，將郵件一一搬運至三輪車上，再運回郵局進行分類與錄入。長時間的工作，讓他對島上居民的信息了如指掌，僅憑姓名與手機尾號，便能迅速判斷郵件的歸屬地。

受限于島嶼復雜的地形，萬衛的投遞之路并不平坦。島上公路無法環行，他需要先完成西部的投遞任務，再折返東部，一天下來騎行距離往往超過80公里。海島山勢陡峭，道路蜿蜒曲折，許多路段坡度極大，車輛難以通行，萬衛有時會選擇徒步投遞。

家書抵萬金，小島上的思念更為珍貴。對于萬衛來說，小小的郵件承載著島民對家人的深深思念。因此，無論多晚、多遠，萬衛都堅持將當天上島的郵件全部送達。有時郵件量大，萬衛一送就送到晚上八九點，甚至一天只吃得上一頓飯。

萬衛不僅是島上的郵遞員，更是島民們心中的親人。在高效完成郵遞任務之余，他還樂于幫助島民們跑腿辦事，陪老人們聊天解悶，甚至用三輪車載著島民們回家，成為島上不可或缺的存在。

盡管郵遞員的工作既忙碌又收入微薄，但萬衛總是樂在其中。他常說：“干一行，愛一行。”島外的世界固然精彩紛呈，但他卻選擇堅守在靈山島上，日復一日地履行著自己的職責。歲月如梭，春去秋來，萬衛和他的郵車已成為島上一道獨特的風景線，融入了春夏的綠意，溫暖了秋冬的寒涼。

A Man’s Island Post Route

Over ten kilometers south of Qingdao’s West Coast， there is a well-known island – Lingshan Island， its elevation of 513.6 meters making it look like a steep mountain on the sea. Here there is a story of persistence and warmth. The protagonist is 53-year-old Wan Wei – the only postal worker at the Lingshan Island Post Office， and the sole courier on the island.

The island is encircled by the sea， and ships are the only means of transportation for islanders to get in touch with the outside world. Every time a ship draws alongside the shore， Wan Wei starts to work immediately. With heavy parcels on his shoulders， he goes back and forth between the wharf and a ship， carrying mails to a tricycle before transporting them back to the post office for classification and entry.

The island roads are not ring roads， so he must complete the delivery task in the west before going back to the east. The distance cy- cled in a day often exceeds 80 kilometers. With steep hills， winding paths and steep slopes on many sections， it is difficult for motorcycles to pass. Thus， Wan Wei chose to deliver mails and parcels on foot. Wan Wei is not only a postman on the island， but also one of their own in the eyes of islanders. He always fervently serves everyone. With his footprints covering every corner of the island， he has established a deep friendship with islanders.
