    On the morning of September 20, 1945, the sun rose in the east and the sun was shining brightly.  On the dock of Tokyo Port, a large group of people were saying goodbye.

    Yang Youmei's eyes were wet, and she said to Chen Jiayong: "Brother, you should come to see us often!" Chen Jiayong said: "Yumei, I organized the wedding for you and Qiankun at the Bhamo Clinic. It has been almost 20 years ago.  . Just don¡¯t forget to inform me when you marry your daughter-in-law or your daughter.¡± Then he said to Yang Qiankun: ¡°Monk Yang, I¡¯ll leave it to you to take care of the affairs on the islands!¡± Yang Qiankun said with emotion: ¡°Then Wu Tailang took us to Jixiang City.  I regard the islands as my second home. Captain, don't worry!" Ye T came over, took off the Swiss gold watch on his wrist, and said to Chen Jiayong: "Chairman, back then we were in  I took it with me when we first met in Myanmar. This watch has witnessed the ups and downs of China's rejuvenation for decades. Facts have proved that Chairman, you are the swan, and I am a bird Just keep it as a souvenir. I will  The archipelago is well guarded!" Chen Jiayong smiled and said: "Brother Ye, the world is diverse. First of all, swans and sparrows are birds that can fly. Each has its own ability. As long as you don't go too far, you have your sights on the target and work hard to fly.  That's it. We flew to the archipelago, so Hirohito flew somewhere else." [bsp; When we said goodbye, everyone had tears in their eyes.  Hanako said loudly: "Relatives and friends! We are not separated by life and death, everyone should be happy. The archipelago has fallen into the embrace of China, which is a blessing for us archipelago people. From now on, there will no longer be any barriers or barriers when relatives meet. You guys  You can also come to Xi'an often"

    At 9 o'clock in the morning, with the whistle blowing, the Northern Whale Fleet 60 and the Ark cruise ship slowly left the dock, sailed out of Tokyo Bay, and headed south to the Pacific Ocean.  The lineup of this cruise is very neat: on the Ark cruise ship are the Marine Geological Resources Exploration Bureau, Salvage Bureau, Marine Information and Communications Bureau, Marine Meteorological Bureau, River-Sea Intermodal Transport Bureau and the newly established Bureau of Marine Geological Resources under the Ocean Office led by Liu Wenhui, Vice President of the Government Affairs Council.  Personnel from the Ministry of Marine Industry and other departments; the military includes the marine military research team led by Gong Yi, etc.  Sangunniu's Fishery Administration Vessel No. 1 also led 100 fishing boats to follow the fleet. He was going to prepare for the establishment of the Fisheries Branch of the Hawaiian Islands and Micronesian Islands.  He also invited Tang Jiyao, the old chief and vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Wilkin, the old captain.

    On the North Whale No. 60 ship, in addition to Hanako, Yuchan, Yang Hong, Jiazi, Wanrong, Wuyun and Fangzi, there were many more people on this trip: Wan Jiakui took Yinzhen and Yagu, and his apprentice Asakusa Ichiro  ; Jiazi took her father Songshan with her, and Guizi also followed her brother and sister.  Zhangyu also arrived on the ship, planning to go to Shinwa Island to visit his father and daughter.  Four children, Chen Ying, Chen Yao, Chen Bao and Chen Qi, also went with the ship. They are all college students and have applied for extracurricular internships.  Hanako and Li Yingzi were busy arranging everyone's cabins, and they were very busy.

    Chen Jiayong had 4 children following him on this trip. He was very happy and sighed: "My dear, when I came over, my children were all in a big group."  The older one is about to graduate from college, the younger one has twins who are M-year-old and are still breastfeeding, and Wenxiu is not pregnant yet.  Yang Hong¡¯s son Chen Long studied at the Command Department of the Nanjing Military Academy, and her daughter Chen Yu was admitted to the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics; Sadako¡¯s son Chen Xiao studied at the Guangzhou Institute of International Public Relations; Yu Chan¡¯s son Chen Hu studied at the Chengdu University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering and Technology.  Daughter Chen Ming is studying in the Performance Department of Xi'an Film Academy; Hanako's son Chen Ying is studying electronic information technology at Xi'an University; daughter Chen Yaoxue is studying in the Oil Painting Department of Peking University School of Art; Kako's son Chen Bao is about to graduate from Kaohsiung Ocean Fisheries University.  , daughter Chen Qi majored in international finance at the University of Hong Kong.  The colleges and majors they applied for were chosen by themselves, and the children were very successful in their studies.

    Not long after the voyage, Chen Jiayong summoned his four accompanying children and said to them: "Dad has been traveling around for these years and has shown little care for you, but I hope you will all succeed in your studies. You must learn one or several skills well. There are many skills."  Firstly, I can support myself in the future, and secondly, I can contribute to national construction." Chen Ying said: "I am learning the practical operation of communication technology from Aunt Ye and Brother Zhensheng." Chen Bao said: "I am about to graduate.  I plan to work for my uncle's Weinan Fishery Company for a year and then apply for graduate school after gaining practical experience." Chen Qi said: "I am learning to calculate financial accounts from my mother. She said that if you can't calculate small accounts well, you won't be able to calculate big accounts.  Chen Yao took out several new oil paintings, one of which was a portrait of his father Chen Jiayong. Chen Jiayong looked at it and said, "Yaoer, is your father so handsome?" Chen Yao said, "Dad is already handsome.  But I always can only look at your photos, and this time I finally drew a real person!" Chen Jiayong's heart surged with heat, his eyes were moist, and he said: "Yao'er, dad is almost done with his work. I want to go home and spend more time with you. You guys  One by one, they have grown up and are about to fly away Oh! Fly, fly. When dad was your age, he also started to flutter." Chen Yao wiped the corner of his eyes for him and said: "Dad, we must accompany him well.  Holding you!" Chen Jiayong hugged his children and smiled happily.

    Huazi came over and said: "Ying'er, Yao'er, Bao'er, Qi'er, your dad has a lot of things to do, so don't pester him." Chen Jiayong said: "?Stay a little longer.  When will I really get the whole family together and live a good life together?  "

    Chen Jiayong sent a transportation boat to pick up the leaders of various departments to the ship, and asked the chef elder Wang to prepare two large tables of fine food and wine for everyone to gather together.  Tang Jiyao happily went to the small room to eat fish with Wan Jiakui.  Chen Jiayong drank whiskey and ate pig's trotters with Wilkin.  Wilkin said: "After I retired, I worked as a transportation consultant at the Bureau of Marine Fisheries. My seven children are all engaged in maritime transportation. I am very grateful to Vice Minister Zhang Bao for allowing me to travel in the vast Pacific in my lifetime." San Guniu  He said: "You have trained nearly 100 ocean-going captains over the past few decades, and they are our treasures. Although there is no war now, the fishery and shipping are even busier, and we still need your guidance."

    Liu Wenhui said: "Brother Yang Sen and I will also retire this year. This is my last voyage to perform my duties. I walked from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and then took over the work of Dean Deng and went to the ocean. It is really emotional.  !" Chen Jiayong said: "It was you who took the lead in the uprising in Chengdu back then, and Chengdu and Chongqing were able to achieve peace, and our Southwest People's Government connected the rear areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, Tibet, and Myanmar into one, so that there was  You made great contributions to the formation of the subsequent coalition government!" Tang Jiyao came over and said: "Brother Liu, we always made mistakes in the first half of our lives, so ashamed! In the second half of our lives, we followed Brother Chen and worked hard to redeem our past grievances.  Peace of mind.¡±

    The old man from Songshan, who has been fishing all his life, has never been on such a luxurious ship. This is simply a palace on the sea.  He held the hands of his grandchildren and looked around, filled with novelty.  During the dinner, Songshan said to San Guniu: "Oh, I really want to see how you fish in the open sea." San Guniu said: "Advisor, your son's application for Weinan Fishing Company has been approved. Through an interest-free loan  The company's 10 high-sea steel fishing boats have also arrived at the port. Since the fishing boats are relatively advanced, we specially recruited and sent technical personnel for the company to provide guidance. This time, their company's fishing boats also came out to practice fishing operations. In the afternoon, we sailed to the high seas  , the fishing boat can begin fishing trial operations. You will be invited to observe and provide guidance."

    On the fishing vessel "Wei Nan", Songshan Wei Nan has been on board for three days.  In order to support private fishing companies, the Archipelago Fishery Branch provided a group of fishermen with free crash training.  On the new big fishing boat, he was so excited that he could hardly sleep. Under the guidance of technicians, he and a group of fishing experts worked tirelessly to learn how to operate the advanced instruments and various machinery on the boat, such as engines, fishing winches, refrigeration devices, and air conditioners.  Press etc.  He drove a fishing boat and went to sea with the fishing fleet. His mother Yinzi brought a dozen capable wives on board to do their laundry and cooking as logistics.  At this moment, the fishing boat was about to conduct trial fishing. Weinan was nervous and excited at the same time.  After a while, my father Songshan, my brother-in-law, my sister, my nephew Chen Bao and Chen Qi also came over by boat.  San Muniu got on the boat and said to Wei Nan: "Uncle, I will ask another fishing boat to cooperate with you in a while to cast the net. Our company will buy all the fish caught. You must study carefully." Wei Nan said repeatedly, "  Hi, hi." He nodded directly.

    Old man Songshan was dazzled by what he saw on the fishing boat.  There are more than 20 fishing machines on board.  In order to cooperate with the seine operation, there are also 5 fishing boats.  Longline fishing boats are equipped with line management machines, reeling machines, line pay-off machines, bait hanging machines, etc.; squid fishing boats, fish fishing boats and pole fishing boats are equipped with automatic fishing machines.  The huge fishing nets on the fishing boats are all spread into the sea by mechanized operations, and the formation is very large.  Soon, the net will be set up.  Suzan was very nervous. He knew that this was the outer sea of ??Tokyo Bay where he caught big fish in the past, and there were a lot of fish.  After a while, half of the fish cabin was filled with fish of all sizes, the largest one weighing more than 200 kilograms.  The whole process of casting and collecting the net takes about 2 hours.  But Songshan was dazzled by the joy.  I saw the belt conveyor transporting the fish to the processing cabin again.  The electronic scale shows that the fish in this net is 18,300 kilograms, which will be sorted and processed into fillets, fish segments, surimi, fish meal and other semi-finished products by various machinery on the fishing boat.  The fishing vessel is equipped with a variety of fish handling and processing machinery such as fish washing machines, fish filleting machines, slicing machines, peeling machines, meat harvesting machines, and fish meal machines.  The fish is processed into semi-finished products and sold to fishery branches, with an average price of 1 Asian dollar per kilogram.  Sangunniu said: "The interest-free loan amount for each fishing boat is 5 million yuan. Assuming that the fishing boat works for 10 months a year and catches an average of 50,000 kilograms per day, if the payment is repaid after two years, these 10 fishing boats will truly belong to my uncle.  If the company owns it, it can also use mortgage loans to expand its scale. However, this kind of advanced fishing boat can only achieve scale effect by fishing in large fishing grounds on the high seas, otherwise the fish in coastal and offshore areas will soon be wiped out.  "

    Songshan is a man who has been fishing at sea for many years, so he became familiar with it just by looking at it.  He heard his son-in-law say that the white spots on the radar screen were fish schools, and someone else reported the distance and depth. He thought to himself: "This is much more reliable than relying on guesswork in the past to launch the net." He went to the cab and took it.  The eldest son, Wei Nan, took the steering wheel and said: "I will direct the operation. Go a little closer and drag down the net alone!" The second net caught more than 8,000 kilograms of fish.  Chen Bao said with admiration: "Grandpa, you are really capable!"Songshan said: "Bao'er, these fishing boats from your uncle's company are really good, so advanced. One fishing boat can cost me as much fish as I catch in a year in one day. But the boat was bought with a government loan, so we have to buy it as soon as possible."  You can repay the debt by fishing a lot. From now on, our family's life will be much better, and your parents will no longer need to send money to subsidize it." After that, he hummed the tune of dragnet happily:

    "YiahHi!

    Lansolan, Solan, Lansolan, Solan,

    Hi!  Hi!

    Listen to the cry of the sea singing and singing,

    Brave fishermen love the ocean, love the ocean.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Yeah!  Humnia!  Sah, how generous!

    Oh~~~How generous!  How generous!

    "YiahHi!

    Lansolan, Solan, Lansolan, Solan,

    Hi!  Hi!

    The sixty-five-year-old man is ambitious and courageous.

    Riding the wind and waves toward the ocean, toward the ocean.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Yeah!  Humnia!  Sah, how generous!

    Oh~~~How generous!  How generous!  "

    Chen Bao has been listening to his mother singing this ditty since he was a child. He was deeply influenced by his grandfather and started singing along, but the latter part became "a nineteen-year-old man riding the wind and waves to the ocean."  Chen Yao was painting the fishing scene calmly on the side rail of the cab.  Chen Jiayong was busy in the kitchen on the fishing boat. His mother-in-law, Jiazi and Chen Qi were helping him, cooking several Chinese fish dishes with great interest.  Chen Qi said happily: "Grandma, I have loved eating the food cooked by my father since I was a child, but I have never eaten it a few times. This time I have caught up!" As the sun set, Jiazi came to the cab and said: "Brother  , let me inform you that it¡¯s time for dinner.¡± In the bright and spacious fishing boat restaurant, the air conditioner sends a gentle breeze, which makes people feel refreshed.  Jiazi served food for her father and said: "More than 30 other employees are eating in the large restaurant. The food and wine are the same. It is also the same on each fishing boat. The food is cooked by my mother, and Qi'er and I just  I helped my husband make some Chinese specialties. These are the Chinese braised fish, fish maw, steamed crab, drunken shrimp and fish ball soup specially made by my husband. Please try them first." Songshan was moved and sighed. Over the years,  , when he went fishing at sea, he usually squatted in the narrow cabin and ate cold rice balls and pickled vegetables. He was reluctant to eat even a small fish, and he had never had such a comfortable dining environment.  He was moved and said: "Son-in-law, daughter, I thank you!"

    The fleet sailed 500 kilometers during the day and anchored near Sumisu Island in the evening.  The ships gradually came together.  At night, the surroundings were lit up with fishing fires, which were the fishing boats released from the fishing boats and were busy fishing at night.  Chen Jiayong saw it and said happily: "What a picture of fishing at sea!" He held a fishery report meeting on the ship.  Sangunniu said: "The fishing fleet caught nearly 300 tons of fish during the day, and the results are pretty good. It is being processed into canned fish, dried fish, fish meal, etc. We distinguish fishing grounds based on water location, fishing objects and operating methods, such as Zhoushan Fishing Ground and Lusi Fishing Ground  ; Large yellow croaker fishing grounds, hairtail fishing grounds; trawl fishing grounds, purse seine fishing grounds, etc. The three world-famous fishing grounds are: 1. Northwest Pacific fishing grounds. Including the Sea of ??Okhotsk, the Whale (Japan) Sea, the East Yellow Sea and Kamchatka  , the Kuril Islands, the east coast of Whales and other waters are rich in Pacific herring, sardines, salmon, saury, pollock, mackerel, hairtail, crabs, shellfish, etc. 2. Northeast Atlantic fisheries. Including the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea  , the North Sea and the waters around Iceland, rich in Atlantic herring, plaice, cod, capelin, jade fish, mackerel, etc. 3. Northwest Atlantic fishing ground. Mainly in the sea area near Newfoundland, rich in Atlantic herring, cod, plaice  , perch, etc. In addition, there are also fishing grounds of certain value in the west coast of Africa, southeastern United States, offshore South America, and the Indian Ocean. Fisheries are an important economic pillar of the archipelago administrative regions, such as Hakodate in Hokkaido and Shimonoseki on Honshu Island.  It is an important fishing ground. The total fish catch of the archipelago can reach tens of millions of tons every year, accounting for about 10% of the world's total production. There are still many fish farms to be discovered in the central and western Pacific where we are going. It is estimated that our total catch in the Pacific  The fish volume is no less than 80 million tons. The contribution rate to China¡¯s total economic output will reach 8%.¡±

    Chen Jiayong said: "Don't underestimate this eight percent of the total economy. Marine fisheries and related fish processing industries alone feed more than 200 million people in China. While increasing fishery development, we must also improve  The added value of fish products can maximize the utilization of fishery resources. At the same time, we must also pay attention to protecting the fishery resources in our sea areas. We must not 'fish all the water', achieve rational development and utilization, and pay special attention to environmental protection. In addition to 12 countries  Territorial seas, inland seas, and continental shelves, international public waters account for 65% of the area, and fish in the high seas can be fished by all countries. It all depends on whose fishing boats are bigger and their fishing skills are better."

    Songshan Weinan, representative of the private fishery industry, said excitedly: "Our company's 10 fishing boats can catch 600,000 jins of fish during the day. After excluding labor, fuel, depreciation and other expenses, the gross profit reaches 250,000 yuan, and the tax?Profit 220,000 yuan.  It takes less than one month to pay off the loan of a fishing boat, and you can make a net profit in two years.  "San Guniu said: "You can also develop on a rolling basis. After paying off the loan for more than one fishing boat, you can purchase another fishing boat with low interest.  Gradually expand fishing capacity.  "

    On the dark sea, Songshan took his grandson Chen Bao fishing at night.  Two 1-kilowatt orange-red fish luring lights raised from the fishing boat attracted fish.  The fishing boat releases fishing lines at a traveling speed of 0.5 meters per second. Each line is 1 kilometer long and contains 1,000 bait hooks.  Three fishing lines were placed in a row.  Then the cycle of fishing began, and the hooks were almost empty. Most of the hooks were salmon and saury, each weighing between 10 and 20 kilograms. Everyone was excited to catch fish, hang bait, and start fishing again.  Fishing rope, busy.  The boats took out fish several times.  Songshan was very excited. He said: "Mechanized operation is 10 times faster than manual operation! Leopard, our boat can catch tens of thousands of fish in one night, which is more than 100,000 kilograms and 50 tons of fish. At this time, the sea is  There are no less than 50 fishing boats busy. Calculating how much we have harvested, it is really amazing! If there were no big fishing boats coming to this far sea, we would not be able to catch up with this huge school of fish." Chen Bao said: "Grandpa, after I graduated from college, I  I plan to work in marine fisheries!" Songshan said happily: "Okay, I am ambitious. The sea is a golden basin, let us work hard on the sea for several generations!"
