The summer of 1990 AD. Fifty-year-old Wang Changfa owns a small wooden-hulled boat and hired three boatmen to lower crab nets to catch swimming crabs weighing two to three pounds each, with gray lids and white bellies. Swimming crabs are delicious and are eaten by rich and poor alike. They are a high-end variety of seafood. Every day, they cast more than fifty pieces of net, winding for several nautical miles. When a tide passes (about six hours), the nets begin to be pulled out, and the swimming crabs with their claws and scissors emerge one after another from the water to show off their power. The daily harvest is more than 2,000 kilograms, which is sold for more than 4,000 yuan. Very good benefits! However, the good times did not last long, and something interfered with it. In the end, it was impossible to do anything, and the ship had to be stopped. The disturbing thing is the jellyfish.

Fire Crab Island is composed of a cluster of peaks protruding from the vast expanse of blue waves. From a distance, it looks like a cluster of blue and yellow wormwood. From a close look, it looks like a group of buildings rising from the green gauze tent, crowded and towering up to the sky. The world has been open since ancient times, and the years have gone through vicissitudes. The uncanny power of wind and waves has split half of the mountains on the periphery of the island, forming steep cliffs, which are high and precipitous. Those who are good at climbing up and looking down, my mother! The rocks at the bottom of the mountain turn into fly dung, and the rough waves turn into fine waves. You will be so dizzy that your legs will tremble and you will shudder. Before you can clearly see the scenery at the bottom of the mountain, you will give up. The Banla Mountains that were cut down from the outside were filled into the sea. The island shelf extending from the roots of the mountains is covered with large and small bright and dark rocks, forming a huge atoll reef area. Therefore, the island is rich in fire crabs, hence its name. Meiyi's store is located next to the pier. It is a small store with only three rooms. In addition to selling fishing necessities, it also sells tobacco, wine, sugar and tea.
