From "relying on the river to eat the river" to "guarding the river and protecting the river"-the new life of the fishermen in the Three Gorges after retreating from catching to production

Fishing boats were once a daily sight in the Three Gorges Reservoir area

When the winter sun shines on the river, Liu Jiaxiang stands on the drifting boat and swiftly takes the drifted rubbish onto the boat

Liu Jiaxiang is 57 years old and has been a fisherman in Fuling District, Chongqing for 40 years

In the Fuling section of the Yangtze River, there are four national-level aquatic germplasm resource protection zones for home fish.

Standing on the shaking drifting boat, Liu Jiaxiang recalled his past life: "In the past, there were a lot of fish in the Yangtze River.

"The fishing ban came in time, otherwise the Yangtze River may only be left empty in the future

In cooperation with fishery law enforcement agencies, more than 60 illegal fishing rods, 4 ground cage nets, and 1 three-layer gill net were confiscated.

"Now the ban on fishing in the Yangtze River is deeply rooted in the people.

Chen Wenxue is a native of Ganning Town, Wanzhou District and has been a fisherman for more than 20 years

Wearing an armband and a life jacket, the fish guards ate and lived on the boat.

In the middle of winter, in Santuo Village, Anping Town, Fengjie County, navel oranges are covered with branches

Yu Shijian is one of more than 690 converted fishermen in Fengjie County.

At this time, the village cadre standing by took over Yu Shijian's words

It was said that it was retiring the arrest and going ashore, but Yu Shijian was actually very close to the Yangtze River
