Chen Dachuan, a forty-year-old salty fish, is divorced and living alone. He makes a living selling fish in Jiangcheng Fishery Market. Life was like a backwater until a fishing video he took unexpectedly became popular.
There were three air leaks in the kayak, which was passed down from generation to generation. The fishing friends were all retired old men, socially fearful programmers and self-employed people who liked to brag.
They don't engage in counterattacks, they just want to enjoy a bite of fresh fish.
After the video went viral, advertisers spent money on endorsements, but he waved his hand and refused: "I just want to catch a good fish quietly."
From the vegetable market to the pier, from being trapped on an island by high tide to crowdfunding for ship repairs, five middle-aged men found their energy in firewood, rice, oil and salt.
There is no hot-blooded cheating, just ordinary days of fishing, eating, laughing and crying.
Just living is their strongest motivation.
