Today is Gu Yu, which is the fishermen's festival in Shidao. Gu Yu and 100 fish went ashore. It means that in the rainy season, fishermen can catch a lot of fish, and we people can eat a lot of fish on the shore. We are a seaside city, the full name of Shidao is called "Shidao Management Area", which belongs to the sub-county-level urban area, is financially independent, and has eight bureau-level units. It has jurisdiction over six streets: Gangwan Street Office (Laoshidao City), Qishan Street Office, Wanglian Street Office, Dongshan Street Office, Ningjin Street Office, and Taoyuan Street Office. The Taoyuan Sub-district Office is a new sub-district office established by dividing the original Dongshan Sub-district Office into two, plus two or three villages from Ningjin Sub-district.
At present, the most economically powerful sub-district office is the Gangwan sub-district office. The weakest should be the Wanglian sub-district office. The second should be the Qishan Sub-district Office, the third should be the Ningjin Sub-district Office, because there is the Shidaowan Nuclear Power Plant, and the fourth should be the Dongshan Sub-district Office, which has the Shidao Industrial Park.
People who haven't been to Stone Island don't know about Stone Island. The coast around Shidao is all a fishing port! A commercial port, Shidao New Port, is open to the outside world. A military port.
Shidao shipbuilding industry is very developed, Huanghai Shipyard has two factories, the old factory is in the Gangwan Street Office, the new factory is in the Taoyuan Street Office, the original Shenfei Shipyard, because Shenfei Company collapsed, the Huanghai Shipyard bought it. The Yellow Sea Shipyard can build not only ocean-going fishing vessels with a few thousand horsepower, but also all kinds of merchant ships and warships. The old factory area of the Huanghai Shipyard is just outside the window of the lawyer's office, no more than 50 meters, and I can see what kind of ship is being built in front of the window. The main thing in building warships is to build auxiliary types of warships, including hospital ships and so on.
A Huanghai shipyard has led to the rise of related supporting manufacturers. There are ship supporting manufacturers in all towns and villages, and they are rich for this!
The rise of the shipbuilding industry has attracted professional and technical personnel from all over the country, especially those laid-off skilled workers from the three eastern provinces, who have found a good place to make a fortune here. The monthly salary is about 10,000 yuan.
Shidao thrives on the fishing port. The fishery is good, and all industries are prosperous. Rongcheng City has built a fishing port in Renhe and Jinghai Station, intending to transfer Shidao's fishery economy to Jinghai Station, and it seems that it is not allowed to unload the dead-eyed shrimp of fishmeal factory raw materials at Shidao Fishing Port, which is said to be for the environmental sanitation of Shidao City, and for a period of time, it seems that foreign ships are not allowed to dock at Shidao Fishing Port. Isn't this self-castration of the Shidao fishing port? Is it self-defeating? What is the intention? It is to destroy the fishing economy of Shidao.
It seems that these regulations are no longer in force. The economy has its own internal laws, and deliberately blindly commanding and deliberately destroying the natural economy will definitely be punished by the laws.
The so-called "environmental protection" is only in name, in the final analysis, it is afraid that you will lose your official hat, and that is the real meaning. If he does not take into account the fundamental interests of the people, but only considers his own selfish interests, then he is not a real Communist Party member, and he is a bureaucrat who goes against the fundamental interests of the people.
Due to the reasons of overfishing and industrial pollution, the marine fishery resources have been basically depleted, and now they have been upgraded, reducing the number of offshore fishing vessels, changing them into high-powered distant-water fishing vessels, and going abroad for fishing. The state also invests in the cultivation of seafood fry for release. In the past two years, coastal fishery resources have gradually improved. Industrial pollution of the ocean is the biggest pollution. Despite the relevant laws and regulations, enforcement has not kept up. That is, the phenomenon of non-observance of the law is very serious! This is a common problem. How can the law become a rubber band, but it can be big or small? Are there many officials who commit dereliction of duty? The focus of state governance is to deal with bureaucrats, not to deal with ordinary people. Eradicating corruption is the eternal theme of national governance!
When I was a child, in the sixties and seventies, the fishery resources at sea were very abundant! During the Qingming season, I went to the beach of Dongqianjia in Ningjin Street to catch fish in the sea with vegetable baskets, and I was able to catch half a basket of herring. Now the herring is extinct. I was catching the sea in the place of Bahe Port in the Dongshan Sub-district Office, and I was able to use a harpoon to fork the big tooth fish in the small inlet. Go to the sea to catch all the fish, and you can catch more than 100 catties in one tide. Now there is only sea water in the sea. Sad! Sad! Fishery resources in the sea have been desertified. Industrial pollution is the biggest culprit!
Fishermen pray every year for good weather and full fishing.
Yes, Shidao is very rich here! It is because the fishing industry is very developed! According to my calculations, the richest person here has at least a few hundred billion personal assets! The second richest man has tens of billions of dollars. As for the net worth of several hundred million, there are not a few. People with a net worth of tens of millions, that is a common thing. There are millions of people, and it can only be said that they are not poor. Of course, these assets are net assets. Net assets after assets minus liabilities. The people of Stone Island are indeed wealthy, and it is a gift from nature to the sea. Therefore, fishing boats from all over the country went to Shidao Port to stop the test. Fishing boats from Liaoning Province dock at Shidao Port all year round, and fishing boats from Hebei Province, Tianjin City, and Shandong Province in Bohai Bay also dock here. Shidao Fishing Ports is the largest fishing port group in northern China!
Rongcheng City set Guyu as the "Fishermen's Festival" in the eight years, and later changed it to July, and then changed it to the current September 1, called the "Open Ocean Festival". How the government stipulates that it is the government's business, and Guyu is the biggest festival for our seaside fishermen! It is more important than the New Year. What is the New Year? It is to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve. The state stipulates that there will be no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, so is it true that the common people are just a big year? China's 5,000-year-old customs and habits cannot be abolished by any one government.
When it rains, the fishermen will go to the Tianhou Temple to offer incense and worship, praying that God will be able to have a good weather this year, a warehouse full of fish, and a warehouse full of gold and silver treasures. You look at the scene of the Tianhou Temple in Shidao.
