Located in the waters of Qingshan Island, Xiangyin County, Yueyang, Hunan Province, in the South Dongting Lake, where the law enforcement ships passed, fish jumped out of the water one after another, and some even "broke" into the cabin.
A few months ago, Yang Li, a representative of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Jinzhou Village Committee of Heshi Town, Quyuan Management District, Yueyang City, saw this scene on the way to investigate with the local fishery administration department.
With the full launch of the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River, the number of fish in some areas of Dongting Lake has increased significantly.
Seeing that the ecological environment of the lake area continues to improve, the life of the fishermen who have returned from fishing has become an inescapable concern for Yang Li.
In an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com recently, she said that more accurate employment assistance should be provided to fishermen, so that they can "get on the shore, take root, and become rich."
Yang Li is a native Dongting Lake farmer.
For more than ten years, she has continued to speak out for the ecological protection of Dongting Lake and the improvement of people's livelihood. The relevant suggestions she put forward have promoted the "fishermen to go ashore" in the lake area; she has brought Dongting Lake water and ecological map of the lake area to the venues of the National Two Sessions, to the outside world. Show the latest management results of Dongting Lake.
In recent years, with the rollout of a series of official policies to settle down and relieve difficulties, Yang Li has also witnessed great changes in the lives of fishermen in the lake area known as "Tian Diao households".
"Farewell to 'floating on the water', the fishermen finally live a stable life with a stable residence, and practical problems such as medical treatment, pension and children's education have been effectively solved."
2021 is the first year of the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River.
Governments at all levels in the Dongting Lake District are carrying out skills training, labor export and other means to allow the fishermen who have returned from fishing to "live and work in peace".
"The lack of farmland is the primary problem that these fishermen need to solve in their transformation and conversion." Yang Li found in the survey that due to the low level of culture and skills, the reemployment problem of some older fishermen is relatively prominent.
As the leader of the village to become rich, several years ago, Yang Li saw the economic value of gardenia, built a laboratory and established a cooperative in the field, and led the farmers in the lake area to develop by means of unified supply of seedlings, training of members, and purchase of products. The gardenia planting industry got rid of poverty and became rich.
Today, cooperative farmers can increase their income by nearly 3,000 yuan per mu.
The fishermen did not have land, so Yang Li searched for information on abandoned land, and actively promoted the tripartite cooperation of farmers and fishermen to share their own land and labor, and the cooperative to provide technology and seedlings, so that the fishermen who had been "reliant on water for water" for a long time came ashore. way out.
After training, local fisherman Feng Linzhuo quickly adapted to his new job at the gardenia planting base and could earn more than 4,000 yuan per month as a laborer.
Such a stable life, he "didn't dare to think about it" before.
In order to relieve the worries of the growers, Yang Li promised to recycle the gardenia fruit, and developed deep-processed products such as gardenia tea and gardenia oil to the market.
In 2021, Yang Li, who accidentally came into contact with e-commerce live broadcast, began to try live broadcast to bring goods, which brought about a surge in product sales, which made her think about how to use the live broadcast platform to bring more high-quality agricultural products out of the lake area.
"Agricultural products must not be rotten in the ground, they must be turned into commodities, so that farmers' pockets can be bulged!" Yang Li is convinced that promoting rural revitalization, rural e-commerce has great promise.
This year's two sessions, she also called on relevant departments to increase support for rural e-commerce through measures such as intensifying traffic flow and improving infrastructure construction; through strengthening policy guidance and skill training, improving farmers' online sales capabilities and promoting the "going of agricultural products" get out" "go far".
