    On June 2, 1886, a German captain threw a message in a bottle into the water while his ship crossed the Indian Ocean. Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast, making it the oldest-known message in a bottle in the world.

The bottle was thrown into the water to know about ocean waves（海浪）。 Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea. About 663 of those messages were found later.

But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists. People send out such messages for many reasons. Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal. Others write down secrets, hoping that the waves will wash them away. And still other people just write down some jokes, songs or anything else they think might be fun re are even online messages in bottles. People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ.

The reasons and ways might be different, but the goal is always the same: to reach out and try to connect with someone. This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long. In 1988. the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling .

As the song’ s lyrics say, we are “ a hundred billion castaways（被抛弃者） looking for a home. ”. When will you feel relieved（释然的）? “ A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I’m not alone at being alone. ”
