7. Secret transactions between the two sides of the strait

I would like to add here that the ownership of the Yalu River is not unique to our country, so fishermen are extremely careful when fishing. It would be unpredictable if the boat sails into North Korea. Although our country is the big brother of the North Korean people, the diplomatic relations between the two countries have always been harmonious. It can be seen from the

From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and in recent years, foreign spies have often appeared on the border under the guise of Chinese fishermen doing shady things. How could Park Mi-hye's father, who has been working on the river all year round, not know this fear? But today, he doesn't know what evil he has committed.

, actually drove the fishing boat to the fishing village on the other side to trade daily necessities with the North Koreans. This was a taboo, but fortunately it was not discovered by the border police.

But something happened when the boat came back. According to other fishermen on the boat at that time, there was an inexplicable evil wind blowing on the river, which blew Lao Putou into the river. Lao Putou was good at water. After entering the water, he held his breath and turned over and flopped.

Then he swam up. At that time, he was still holding an object in his hand. He didn't know whether the object was fished out of the river or exchanged for it from the Korean fishing village on the other side.

Don't call me alarmist, maybe some of you onlookers have said, what good stuff can a fisherman have to sell on the other side?

This is not an alarmist statement. It is because you don’t understand the local folk customs. Although North Korea has already entered the 21st century, what we see on TV is basically life in the capital Pyongyang. But in the countryside, you are really poor.

I don’t need to say more, just think about it, what our Chinese rural areas were like in the 1970s, they are what they are now. Many daily necessities are still exchanged for food stamps, gas stamps, etc. just like we did back then.

It’s a mess, but in short, it still adheres to the socialist family harmony.

We Chinese people have always had a strong business acumen. Aren’t you poor and have no money? That’s not a problem. The fishermen here in Liangshui are smarter. I fish by myself and I have to work hard to survive. I’ll catch it today.

It's a few dozen kilograms. It'll be a little low tomorrow. It's common to catch some fry after a few days. The place opposite is poor. I just go to the supermarket and buy some toothpaste and toothbrushes, Pantene Head & Shoulders, Shuanglu Shubao and the like.

Just exchange it for fresh fish, and then you can resell it and it will be a profit, a business that guarantees profit without loss.

Afterwards, no matter how sad the Park family was, they had to hold a funeral for the old man, so they invited the most famous shaman in Shilibacun. Shaman? I was right, it was a Manchu shaman. The geographical location of Tonghua County is very special. Below it is It is separated from North Korea by a river, and borders my country's Liaoning Province to the west. Within a few dozen miles is the Hengren Manchu Autonomous County in Liaoning Province. Therefore, there are many Manchus in the area. Most of the current Koreans have been adopted by China. The folk customs have been assimilated, and many of the living habits of the previous ancestors have been lost. Relatively speaking, the local Manchu people are more traditional. Many ancient national cultures have been preserved and have not been lost to this day, such as shaman culture.

Shaman culture was extremely popular in the Manchu Dynasty. They were the media between man and heaven and earth. They usually appeared in sacrificial ceremonies, prayers, or funerals. The Koreans in Liangshui Township would invite shamans to anyone who had a wedding.
