The warm sun shines on Chagan Lake, and the endless water is sparkling.

51-year-old fisherman Hu Haifei and his colleagues are busy fishing.

  "In these years, in summer and autumn, our main income is shrimp fishing and a small amount of fishing, and in winter we use large nets to catch big fish to welcome a bumper harvest. The mesh of the fishing net has also been enlarged from 4 inches to 6 inches. 'Well." Hu Haifei said that the fishermen kept in mind the instructions of the general secretary, and guarded the "golden signboard" of Chagan Lake, so that there would be "fish every year" in their lives.

  On September 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Chagan Lake in Songyuan City, Jilin Province during his inspection of the three northeastern provinces.

Chagan Lake is one of the top ten freshwater lakes in my country with fascinating scenery in four seasons.

Especially the snow and ice fishing and hunting at the end of the year and winter, horse-drawn winches, twisting spears and hooks, and nets under the ice... This traditional fishery production method and customs have been passed down for thousands of years.

  That afternoon, General Secretary Xi Jinping took a boat to inspect the ecological environment of Lake Chagan.

Not far away, dozens of fish farm workers were pulling nets to catch fish, and the sound of water splashes and horns came one after another.

The general secretary boarded the pontoon, sparkling waves, nets and fish jumping, and the hot scene jumped into view.

  The workers greeted the general secretary loudly.

Looking at the big fish that the fishermen just caught, the general secretary asked how much was harvested today, how are the sales of aquatic products, and whether the income is good?

  "Looking at me standing in the lake holding the fish, the general secretary asked me with concern: is it cold or not, do you have enough clothes?" Hu Haifei recalled that the general secretary told me to wear more clothes when the water was cold, to eat on time, and to eat well. I have to eat hot rice, but my stomach can't stand it when I eat cold rice. "It warms my heart."

  Qiao Guoliang, a 38-year-old fisherman, was also working in the water at the time.

Speaking of the scene at that time, he was still very excited: "The general secretary wishes us 'fish every year'".

  "The general secretary said 'there will be fish every year', which is a blessing and an entrustment. Now the fishermen's awareness of ecological protection has become stronger. When fishing in winter, only large fish are caught, not small ones." Chagan Lake No. 2 Tenth generation "fish head" Zhang Wen said.

  During the inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The protection of the ecology of Chagan Lake and the development of tourism complement each other, and we must keep going."

  Over the years, the life of the fishermen in Chagan Lake has changed with each passing day.

Due to returning farmland to forests and wetlands, the water quality of lakes is getting better and better, and the mountains are green.

Ten years ago, each fisherman earned more than 2,000 yuan per month.

Now living in a building, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I catch shrimp in summer and autumn, fish in winter, and I also start eco-tourism. Each fisherman can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.

  Time is a faithful recorder, engraving the progress of those in power.

Since April 18, Xinhua News Agency has opened the "Warm Moments from the Close-Up Lens" column, carefully selecting the wonderful moments of General Secretary Xi Jinping's governance since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and telling the warm stories behind each photo.
