    the cormorants see him as their biological father and he also sees him as his son. When humans are in harmony with nature, it is wonderful. Such good things should be preserved forever.

      I Certainly agree with you. This gave me so much hope that maybe some things aren’t as completely screwed up as we sometimes think. Particularly nice to note that this is happening in China and Central Ancient China at that. So even in ultra-modern China where many Bad Things appear to be happening there are things like this carrying on just like maybe 1200 years ago.

    Cormorants are fascinating. One time I rescued an oil-covered Brandt's Cormorant on the Oregon coast, taking it wrapped in paper towels, placed under the car heater, to an Oregon bird rehab center. I was shocked at the protective clothing worn by the rescue workers, including elbow length thick gloves and they were shocked I hadn't been severely injured by my oily friend! They assured me he should recover okay after a wash in Dawn detergent, as he wasn't terribly debilitated!

    This guy, like the discoverer of the terracotta army, are Chinese popular heroes. Anyone that visits those national landmarks gets to meet them and shake their hand. They are employees of the government on a daily basis for decades. The Cormorant fisherman is probably the last of his kind.
