You definitely haven't thought about it.
The fat crab on the table, the plate with tempting-looking prawns, before it was brought to the table, the last thing you saw might be the god of death, or maybe it was a storm surrounding life itself.
Have you ever seen the sea at four o'clock in the morning?
It's not the kind of quiet time in the circle of friends.
It was the 57-year-old captain Huang Ningbo. When he was 19 years old, he went to sea for the first time and vomited until his bile was exhausted. This vomiting lasted for more than 30 years. He said that he was most afraid of rough waves. When people were standing and working, if the boat shook, they would be thrown out.
Fall down, get up. The net is still in the sea.
The sea is two-faced
Sometimes, she is as gentle as a girl. The sight of sparkling water and sky can make people stay in a daze for an entire afternoon. There are also times when you will turn your back on others and refuse to recognize them.
A small fishing boat is like a leaf in the stormy waves.
At this moment, no one spoke a word, and all eyes were firmly locked in the same direction, condensing into one force and rushing forward bravely. This is an instinct deeply imprinted in the bones, and there is no other reason, just because if we do not unite and cooperate, we will not be able to return home.
Why do fishermen always eat the cheapest food?
Do you think it’s stingy?
The big steamed buns, flower rolls, and cabbage fried in soy sauce on the ship were considered delicacies when they entered their mouths. It’s not that I don’t want to eat good food, it’s just that my energy has already been exhausted when I’m lowering the net, collecting the net, and competing with the wind and waves.
How can you be thoughtful?
Occasionally, I see a huge and plump crab, which can be called the most generous reward for myself. They caught the crab with their own hands, but they were reluctant to taste it every day.
"Blind people" under high technology
The ship is now equipped with fish detection equipment, satellite phones, and even video chat with people at home on the deck. Technology has made the ocean no longer so lonely, nor so mysterious.
However, when it came time to close the net, with the roar of the machine, the rope was stretched straight. However, everyone's hearts were still hanging.
Could it be that what was pulled up in this net was hope after all, and not just a pile of worthless seaweed? Only when the net is pulled out of the water will it be known.
Take advantage of the time to grab a bite of "freshness"
Every "fresh" bite you take is snatched from time.
At 4:30 in the morning, everyone must be fully energetic and carry out actions against time. As soon as the fish and shrimp land, they must be sorted immediately, rinsed, and quickly stuffed into the ice tank. This is because if it is one hour late, the price will most likely be reduced by half, and it may even not be sold.
The lights on the pier are brightly lit, and the vendors have been waiting for a long time.
The heavy fish and shrimp passed through their hands once and turned into a stack of banknotes that were not too thick, and then turned into an empty box and the cost of fuel for the next trip to sea.
Why do you have to do this?
For Yang Jigang, a 55-year-old man with 38 years of working experience, he squatted at the edge of the pier and tied the floats with wires. Sweat flowed down his wrinkles and he didn't even bother to wipe it. He said that every time he saw a cabin full of fish, all his fatigue disappeared.
But what you haven't seen is that the boat behind him may contain all his property, and may also be burdened with debts.
There is a group of people in Rizhao, Shandong Province. They go fishing for shrimps on stilts, and the trembling bamboo poles in the sea are just like their destiny. This craft, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is about to be lost. The reason is that it is too hard and no one wants to learn it.
Some people finally came ashore
He Abo, who lives in Panyu, Guangzhou, is 61 years old. He has lived in a rickety stilted building all his life. It is a veritable "floating on the water." This year, he finally got a resettlement house on the shore and said that his heart is sweeter than honey.
But not everyone is so lucky.
There are more fishing boats still lingering on the vast sea. In the mudflat in Jimo, a fisherman was half-length deep in the mud. He used his hands to dig out clams in half a meter of mud. He continued digging for an entire afternoon, making it difficult to straighten his waist.
As I write this, it’s actually a bit confusing.
I don't know what to say either.
Maybe it was that red sun.
On the sea, when the sun rises, there are really thousands of rays of light, and the sea surface seems to be on fire. It's so beautiful that it can make you cry.
Just in this magnificent environment, some people are vomiting and are unconscious, some are seriously injured after falling, and some are facing one unknown thing after another.
Fishermen, living such a life, will mix the particularly transcendent and beautiful scenery with the extremely harsh and cold existence.
last sentence
How low is it outside now? Or is it too hot and too hot?
I have no idea.
All I know is that there are winds, waves, boats, and people on the sea at this moment.
They are tying their lives on a rope just for the "fresh" bite on your chopsticks.
Those videos were taken casually with mobile phones. They were extremely shaken and the picture quality was blurry. However, you will understand the meaning behind those bumpy scenes along the way, those silhouettes that appear to be silent, and those scenes where lights are swaying in the wind and waves.
After understanding this, next time you eat seafood, remember to chew it slowly.
Show some respect for the sea.
And the simplest gratitude for living.
