a part of the industry that brought wealth
to this remote island. [Fu in Mandarin] [translator] Since I was 16
I started fishing. [Fu in Mandarin] [translator] On a typical day,
I would get up at 3:00 a.m. When there's a lot of fish,
I would get up at 2:00 a.m., stay out
until the sun goes down, then go home. [Prof. Mitchell]
China is the world-biggest
fishing nation, and this village was
all at the heart of it
