　　Nan-Fang-Ao is located in Su-Ao county in northeast Taiwan. There are about nine thousand inhabitants, and eighty percent of the people are in the fishing industry. 　　As the retired director of fishing team Chen Jie reads his Oceanic Record Book, described the glorious day of the mackerel fishery, the director of another fishing team, Zhang Ah Hai, leads us sailing out of Nan-Fang-Ao Harbor to the sea of Peng-Chia-Yu, north of Taiwan, to start a fishing journey. Although, the five-ship mackerel purse seine team still performs the splendid battle between mackerel and humanking on the dark sea, the scene is not as it used to be. 　　On the floating mother ship, about thirty workers－Taiwanese, Mainland Chinese and Filipino－live and work. Their lives on the sea are the main subject of this film. 　　The film isn't only the story of mackerel purse seine fishing. Also included are scenes of the Lian Chun Betelnut store, where all kinds of fisherman and their women always gather. Ah Yu, the wife of the captain of a long line fishing boat, is the main Liao Chun Betelnut store, until her husband returns. Close
