Speaking of desperate survival is the process of people challenging the limits, but this extreme challenge is not something that ordinary people can try. Here, I will introduce you to a person who has never been seen in human history. He floated at sea for a total of 133 days and lived with sharks in the sea without food and drinking water. Down, and this is not a person far away from us. His name is Pan Wei, a Chinese Hainanese.



Pan Yi was sent to the UK by her mother when she was just a grown-up. The mother hopes that Pan Wei will be able to honour the ancestors and hope that his relatives in the UK can help Pan Wei enter the British Navy. Pan Wei also successfully boarded the British Belomon with the help of relatives and became an elementary schooler on board.



However, Pan Wei’s luck was not good. In 1942, the Belomon was ordered to travel from South Africa to South America, but was discovered by German warships on the way, and was hit by the torpedo by the torpedo because it was not timely.濂 Keeping in mind the emergency training that he accepted, he picked up the life jacket and jumped into the boat in a hurry, and when he just fell into the water, the warship behind him sank because of the explosion of the boiler.

At this time, the entire warship only survived Pan Yi alone, but fortunately Pan Wei came to the lifeboat of the warship, prepared a large amount of food on this lifeboat, and also extremely important fresh water, and some small tools, these became Pan Wei relies on his life. Some time before the drifting, Pan Wei succeeded in relying on these materials, but soon these materials were exhausted. Pan Wei faced the empty cabin, and there was no way to wait for Pan Wei’s death.

However, Pan Wei did not give in. He used the canvas on the ship to pick up the rainwater, solved his own water problem in a short time, and used the extra rain as his usual reserve, and also made use of the metal material in the only flashlight on the ship. Small hooks. Pan Wei was good at fishing when he was on the boat. But no matter how superb the technique is, fishing will eventually require a fishing lure. He uses the seabird meat he accidentally obtained as a bait and successfully catches a small shark. Pan Wei sees the hope of living.


Using this shark, Pan Wei found food and water, and Pan Wei cut the shark and made it into a dried fish, which was easy to store. The blood of the shark was collected by him as water. However, Pan Wei also faces the problem of the big sun at sea. We all know that there is no obstruction at sea, and Pan Wei is still in the tropics. The sun's sun is like a poisonous needle stinging Pan's skin. Pan Wei himself is dying under the sun.

When Pan Wei saw the life-saving straw general cargo ship, the freighter refused to rescue in the same way as many things, until it floated near Brazil. Three Brazilian fishermen discovered Pan Wei and rescued him. It was already a hundred and thirty-three days away from him.

Pan Wei, who survived successfully, became a model of inspirationality. Although he lost 10 kilograms and survived for a month in the hospital, his record of drifting has never been broken. In order to inspire the morale of the army, the British king gave the medal of the British Empire to Pan Wei, and Pan Yi’s own legendary experience was also used as a model by the British Navy to compile a book describing how to survive on the sea.
