Film Description:

The Dalinor Nature Reserve is located in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China. The people here rely on the Dali Lake at the center of the reserve for their survival. There is a fishery built on the north shore of Dali Lake, where a team guards this land day after day. Baofuchang is the captain of this team, and they carry out winter fishing and spring protection work year after year. They fish in the winter by chiseling through the ice, and protect the fish in the river during the spring and summer. Fishing is for livelihood and inheritance, while fish protection is for future generations and nature. These seemingly contradictory tasks contain the secret of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
