Pi Peiqi, 58, has fished Dongting Lake since he was a teenager, but his life changed dramatically after a fishing ban took effect more than a year ago.
His family owned two boats-one for accommodation, the other for fishing. Those who live on the mountains live off the mountains; those who live near water live off the water, Pi said.

Multimodal network is making logistics more cost-effective and hassle-free
China is promoting a trade corridor featuring a multimodal transport network to boost socioeconomic development in western China and increase connections between China and economies of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The corridor, called the New Western Land-Sea Corridor, connects major inland cities in southwestern China, such as Chongqing municipality and Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, with coastal and border cities in southern China s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Cargo from inland China can be transported to the border and then shipped to ASEAN economies and then on to other parts of the world. Imports can also use the route to enter China.
