Wang Daming was sitting on the shore cooking. There was a big bird above his head. This bird was a cormorant. Damin is a fisherman, he is over 65 years old now, but he still works every day, he is thin and of average height, but he is suitable for the job even though he is an old man. He is strong enough to control his raft in the river where he and his birds live and work.

Cormorants are large, black birds, about a meter long, that are good at fishing because they can swim well underwater. Their large feet allow them to move quickly through water. They can dive to 25 meters and stay underwater for up to 2 minutes.

Damin does not need a fishing net or a fishing rod to catch fish because his 12 cormorants do it. Fishing trips are always in the afternoon. Damin sits on his bamboo raft with his bird, and when he reaches the right place, he stops. A piece of grass was tied around each bird's neck to prevent them from swallowing the fish. Then Damin pushed the fish into the water and made them jump up and down with his bamboo pole. At night, a light is hung on the bow of the boat, which allows fishermen to see more clearly and also attracts fish. The cormorant went down again to catch the fish and returned to the bamboo raft. Some of the fish caught were sold and some were given to Damin's family and his cormorants.

It is a Chinese tradition to use cormorants for fishing. About 1000 years ago. Damin loved his job and taught his grandson everything he knew. However, in this modern era, few young people are interested in this type of job. In the next fifty years, maybe fishermen like cormorants will disappear from this world
