Through a period of learning foreign experiences in 1980-1984, and established two stations, Great Wall and Zhongshan, in 1984 and 1989 respectively, and purchased the icebreaker “Xue Long”, then “one vessel two stations” system for carrying on Chinese Antarctic research programs independently became true.
