As the temperature drops and the ice thickens, the golden period of winter fishing arrives in the northeastern region of China. According to local tradition, the first catch of fish from the winter fishing with nets is called the "red net" if it weighs over 100,000 kilograms. The first fish caught is referred to as the "head fish." In folk culture, the "head fish" symbolizes auspiciousness and prosperity, often fetching high prices when auctioned at the fishing site. Will there be a "red net" at Xingkai Lake this year? How much money can the "head fish" fetch at auction? Follow CGTN to find out!
