As the world’s third longest river, it covers one-fifth of China’s land area. The Yangtze River Economic Zone (长江经济带) includes eleven provinces and cities, making up about forty percent of China’s total population and GDP. On December 26, China passed the Yangtze River Protection Law, which came into force on March 1, 2021. It is the first law to protect a waterway in China. The mother river is in great need of protection because something is wrong with it. For example, because of overfishing and water pollution, the river’s Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out there. There’s also desertified (荒漠化的) land and soil pollution near the river. According to the law, fishing will not be allowed in all of the Yangtze’s natural waterways, including its major tributaries (支流) and lakes. Those who are caught fishing will be fined 50,000 to 500,000 yuan. For many fishermen whose families have worked on the river for many years, a long ban (禁令) on fishing has changed their lives in a good way. Zheng Laigen, a 44-year-old former fisherman from Tongling in Anhui, moved to land after living on a boat all his life. Now, using what he knows about fish and other water animals, he owns a farm with about 13 hectares (公顷) of ponds (池塘) where he grows crabs, shrimp and fish. His new business did well last year, earning about 300,000 yuan. Zheng’s story is different from Zhu Changhong’s, who is also from Tongling. Zhu and his wife still live by the river but do things differently. With support of local officials, Zhu and his wife joined a team that cleans up trash and looks for finless porpoises (无鳍鼠海豚), an animal that lives in the river. This work pays them 5,000 yuan each month. Digging sand will be strictly limited in the river. Many companies are digging sand along the river. Ho
