My last meeting on this visit is with fishermen, Huang Zongming and his brother
Zongguo. I was here when they moved out of their homes in June 2003, when the first stage
of the dam was completed. Now I am surprised to discover that everything is almost the same
for them. They are still fishermen. The fishing on the river is still good. The dam has not
changed everything in Fuling.
*The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River stretches for nearly 2.5 kilometres and is the
largest concrete structure on Earth. It’s five times as wide as the Hoover Dam in the United
States and is the world’s biggest power station.
