With a crisp sound signaling the start of the fishing season, the South China Sea awakens. Thousands of fishing boats, scattered like stars across the waves, are ready to set sail, creating a magnificent seascape. As a gentle breeze blows, fishermen cast their nets and pull up the sea's generous gifts, along with the peace and abundance the catch brings to their lives. In Guangdong, when the taste buds savor the first catch from the South China Sea, every hint of freshness carries the breath of the ocean.

In the distance, the islands and drifting clouds weave together. The picturesque beauty sets the perfect frame for this magnificent "festival upon the sea."
# The Catch Lights up the Faces with Joy
At the fishing port during the opening festival, a fisherman holds a glistening silver hairtail high above his head. The fish arches like a crescent moon, its scales giving off a cold gleam in the sun. At his feet, yellow and white plastic baskets, brimming with faintly visible plump crabs and succulent shrimp, stack up like small hills. Behind him, boats shuttle on the waves, and the hubbub fills the air. The fishermen's faces are radiant with the joy of harvest—this is the sea's gift, the fresh flavor earned through toil, and the most touching moment of the fishing season.
#Bountiful Harvest at Sea
On board, the fishermen are skillfully dealing with the nets brimming with fish. Glistening silver fish reveal the abundance of this marine granary. Their hard work is a vivid testament to the development of the marine ranch. The blue sea, rich in resources, is like a field waiting to be tilled, with the fishermen using technology as plows to turn it into fertile land that nourishes the nation.
#Rising Tides Bring Plump Fish
A fishing net sways gently on the water, within which schools of fish are thrashing, their silver scales glittering like shattered jade—a jubilant scene of harvest. This is not only the fruit of marine ranching but also a vivid embodiment of the ocean as a granary. Each leaping fish is a footnote to our endeavor to thrive through the sea, injecting inexhaustible vitality into the blue economy.
#Boats Return with Full Baskets
Yellow buoys of the marine ranch sway gently with the waves, while a mechanical arm lifts a net of lively, wriggling fish from the sea. The busy "herdsmen" stand ready to receive this gift from the ocean. With wisdom and hard work, the Chinese people have achieved economic development while prioritizing ecological protection amid the surging tides, turning the sea into a blue granary that lights the way to the future.
