In 2024, veteran fisherman Gu Chaosheng died in a super typhoon in the South China Sea. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the summer of 1980.
He is still the poorest 18-year-old boy in Shitangwan, Leiyang Peninsula, Guangdong. He lives in a leaky thatched house, paddles a leaky broken sampan, and his pocket is cleaner than his face.
In his last life, he had been a coward all his life. The good fishing ground was robbed, the good business was snatched away, and finally he died alone in the sea, with no one to collect the body.
But God gave him a second chance.
Forty years of experience in fishing, a thorough understanding of every inch of the sea, and accurate predictions of fish prices and policy trends in the next few decades—all are brought back.
Is the tide out? While others were picking clams on the beach, he went straight to the reef trough and found a wild abalone weighing three kilograms!
Is the tide rising? When others collected their nets and went home, he carried the harpoon into the water and pierced a forty-pound gentian grouper with just one harpoon!
Others said that the sea area was the Dead Sea without fish, but he decided to go there - he pulled up eight hundred kilograms of wild yellow croaker in a net, and the whole boat was covered with gold, and the whole village was dumbfounded!
This is just the beginning.
Giant lobsters in the deep-sea reefs, bluefin tuna weighing more than a hundred pounds, and old sea cucumbers piled up in abandoned sunken ships... Every time you go out to sea, it is a feast of giant creatures that will shock your tongue.
From a broken sampan to twelve ocean-going fishing boats.
From the poorest bachelor in the village to the fisherman king of the South China Sea who made bosses in the provincial capital queue up to meet him.
Gu Chaosheng squatted on the bow of the boat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the vast expanse of waves under the setting sun: "I have the final say on this sea."
So pretty! I like
The writing is too fake.
