When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang. In the public impression, Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight, a vast Gobi desert, and mountains with an extremely dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the massive amount of water required.
However, Xinjiang now welcome a big harvest of local "seafood", such as shrimp and crabs. The most important thing for aquatic products (农产品) is water. Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers of the Tianshan Mountains. "With the mountains on the side, there is no industrial pollution and agricultural pollution, which keeps the water clean and favors the growth of the fish," said Li Chunyu, the head technician of the local trout farm.
Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt. This is not good for growing crops. But "one man's trash is another man's treasure". The land makes the underground water salty. People turn the salty water into "man-made seawater". They then use it to raise sea fish, shrimp and crabs.
Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水). Some even feel desperate (绝望的) since they may no longer enjoy any seafood. Luckily, according to the Department of Agriculture, in 2022, the total output value of Xinjiang's fishery industry reached 4.2 billion yuan($580 million), an increase of 921 million yuancompared to 2019. Now, some of Xinjiang's "seafood" goes to many cities in China. It also goes to countries in Southeast Asia. It turns out that Xinjiang's "seafood" is becoming a new and favorable choice for seafood lovers.
①water from melting snow and glaciers ②the sea water from the underground
③the salt in the land ④less pollution
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Claire, America Sometimes something good comes out of a bad thing. Last month,I took a photo of an amazing sunset over a lake when hiking in a park. Then I decided to send it to my brother Charley. Anyway, I dropped my phone in the water. OMG! I lost all my photos and my phone. Well, luckily, Charley sent my sunset photo to the TV station. Today, they chose it for Photo of the Month, and I won a new camera. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining! |
Sue, Canada Ten years ago, my car broke down on my way to school. I didn't have enough money to fix it, so that term I had to get up at 5:00 a. m. every day to take the bus. One cold, wet morning, I felt really tired. But this guy started talking to me on the bus, and he really made me laugh! I also found that we studied at the same school. We exchanged phone numbers, and the rest is history. Ten years later, we' re married with two children. Oh, and a new car! Every cloud has a silver lining! |
Yang, China Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my house. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes. It was really bad, so I had to go to the hospital. Anyway, I saw an advertisement for a computer programmer at the hospital. I called my friend, and he got the job! At least his cloud had a silver lining! Though I do have my house all to myself again. |
