A fisherwoman's new life along a revived Yangtze
Chen Lanxiang now manages a labor service company and patrols the river with former fishermen, while 900,000 yuan in dividends helped members build new livelihoods.
- Former fisherwoman Chen Lanxiang leads river protection efforts in Anhui as president of the Yushan Branch of the Civilian Enterprise River Chief Federation, patrolling the Jiuhua Village embankment to safeguard the Yangtze.
- To reverse ecological decline, China launched a landmark 10-year fishing ban across the Yangtze River Basin in 2021, prompting Anhui to initiate resettlement programs for families like Chen's in May 2019.
- Chen established the "San Guniang" Labor Service Company, which has distributed 900,000 yuan in dividends to former fishermen while providing stable new livelihoods over the past five years.
- The formerly polluted Xuejiawa shoreline has been transformed into a scenic ecological park attracting visitors from across the region, while water quality in the Yangtze now reaches Class II standards.
- Chen envisions children fishing again under scientific management once the 10-year ban eventually ends, hoping the next generation will cherish the river's recovery and restored abundance.
