A Million in Debt, I Turned My Life Around by Foraging the Tides

After his business fails, leaving him buried in debt, Chen Haisheng has no choice but to take his wife and daughter back to his hometown by the sea.

His relatives mock him, the villagers look down on him, and even his child's school tuition becomes a problem.

Then an accident reveals that he can sense the fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish beneath the sea.

While others combing the shore find only a few little crabs, one thrust of his shovel uncovers a whole nest of premium green crabs.

While everyone else comes back from fishing empty-handed, he casually casts a net and fills his entire boat with yellow croaker, grouper, and giant lobsters.

From foraging along the coast and selling at a stall to leasing tidal flats, buying fishing boats, opening seafood restaurants, and building marine farms.

Years later, when a reporter interviews him, Chen Haisheng simply smiles and says:

“I'm nothing special. The sea just decided to put food on my table.”
