FUZHOU, March 10 (Xinhua) From sailing with his grandfather as a boy to turning deserts into fishery complexes off the coast of Mauritania, 58-year-old Lan Pingyong has long worked to improve life by the sea.
As the founder of China s leading offshore fishery firm Hongdong Fishery Co., Ltd. and a lawmaker at the ongoing annual session of China s top legislature, Lan proposes ramping up financial support for Chinese firms to do businesses in Belt and Road countries and incorporating offshore fishery bases into national development planning.
His proposals are the result of a lifetime by the sea. Born into a fishing family in China s coastal county of Lianjiang, Lan started tagging along on fishing trips when he was 11. In those days, fishing was an ordeal in engineless sampan boats and without weather instruments.
