Mauritania is known as the "Desert Republic", and its capital, Nouakchott, is also located in a vast desert area, separated from the vast Atlantic Ocean by only a narrow sand dune, without any mudflats in between. The sea water and the desert collide directly here, washing the sand with water and filtering the water with sand. Over the years, the beaches here have become unusually clean, without a trace of stains.
In the evening in Nouakchott, the sun has just set, the sky is cloudless, and the gentle sea breeze continues to send coolness. I would never have thought that there would be such a beautiful night in the sweltering desert country. As far as the eye can see, the white sails on the vast Atlantic Ocean are dotted, the white clouds in the sky, and the water and the sky are one.
The tide is rising, the waves are getting bigger, and the tide is getting closer. In the distance, fishing boats are passing through the rough seas, and fishermen are throwing their nets against the waves. Sometimes, the fishing boat seems to have been swallowed up by the waves, but after a while it appears not far away.
Look at the beach that is constantly washed by the waves, rows of fiber-pulling porters, groups of more than a dozen people, shadows, bowed their heads and bent over, their steps staggered, supporting each other, stepping on the yellow sand, stepping on the waves, and moving forward with difficulty.
In front of the vast sea, in the face of the rough waves, the fishermen's bodies are small and their strength is weak. However, they did not give up fighting the sea because of their weakness. In the Atlantic Ocean, where the waves are so rough, they fish with this most primitive tool, which is truly an example of human challenge to nature.
As the sky grew dark, fishermen on the beach lit up a Chinese-made lantern. From afar, in the hazy night, the swaying fishing fires are just like the flowing fireflies by the river in summer, flickering on and off, flickering and flickering.
