So, they reached an agreement with investors in private and established the so-called "Fishing Tourism Joint Company" in an attempt to get rid of those traditional and conservative old fishermen and divide the profits alone. This move was like a bombshell, exploding in the fishing village, and the villagers who were originally united turned against each other in an instant.
The fishing village at night is no longer the peaceful and tranquil one it used to be. There are constant quarrels between neighbors. Brothers who used to go fishing together and support each other are now fighting for their interests. Under the dim street lights, angry and confused figures are reflected. Qi Tongwei walked on the village road and heard these quarrels, his heart was filled with sadness. He tried to persuade them, but in the face of the whirlpool of interests, his voice seemed so weak.
To make matters worse, the tourism project was plagued by environmental problems during its development. In order to meet deadlines, some construction parties violated regulations and discharged a large amount of untreated construction wastewater directly into the sea, resulting in red tides in the offshore waters. The originally clear blue sea water became turbid and emitted bursts of foul odors. The beach was also covered with dead fish, shrimps and shellfish, and the scene was horrible. This not only seriously affected the tourists' experience, but also touched the sensitive nerves of the fishermen again, because it directly threatened the fishery resources on which they depended for their livelihood.
Tourists complained and demanded refunds, and negative comments about this seaside tourist destination were overwhelming on social media. Investors panicked and began to blame each other; fishermen gathered angrily at the construction site, demanding that the work be stopped and compensation for losses. The entire fishing village and tourism project fell into unprecedented chaos, like a nightmare that swallowed up all the beauty that had come before.
Qi Tongwei looked at this troubled land, his heart full of self-blame and confusion. He thought that with his own efforts, he could bring permanent prosperity to his hometown, but he did not expect to cause so many conflicts and tragedies. But the unyielding spirit in his bones and the deep sense of responsibility for his hometown and family made him unwilling to give up.
He began to run around, seeking help from environmental experts to treat the polluted sea area. He paid out of his own pocket to purchase advanced sewage treatment equipment and supervised the construction party to strictly follow environmental protection standards. At the same time, in order to resolve the interest disputes between fishermen and investors, he consulted a large number of laws and regulations, drew on the successful experiences of other regions, and re-formulated a more fair and reasonable compensation distribution plan.
When mediating the internal conflicts in the fishing village, Qi Tongwei visited every household and had long talks with every fisherman. He talked about the power of unity, painted a blueprint for common prosperity, and moved those young people who were blinded by interests with his sincerity and patience. He organized everyone to establish a "Fishing Village Tourism Development Cooperative" that is truly participated by all fishermen, so that everyone can benefit from tourism development and regain the unity and trust of the past.
After long and arduous efforts, the sea water gradually became clear again, and fishery resources slowly recovered. Tourism projects were back on track, and tourists were attracted by the beautiful scenery again and flocked to the fishing village. The fishing village has regained its former vitality, but this time, everyone cherishes the hard-won peace and prosperity even more.
Qi Tongwei stood on the observation deck, looking back on this turbulent journey, with tears in his eyes, but his heart was full of determination. He knew that the road of life would never be smooth sailing, and the vicissitudes of the world and the disputes over interests might test his beliefs again and again, but as long as he sticks to morality, protects his family, and devotes all his efforts to the development of his hometown, he will surely find light in the darkness and achieve a turnaround in desperation. In the days to come, there will be new challenges, but he is no longer afraid, because behind him is the warm support of his family and in front of him is the beautiful future of his hometown. He will continue to move forward with this love and responsibility, and write their legendary story until the end of the years. And his family beside him has always been his strongest backing. The laughter of the children and the gentle company of Liang Lu allow him to cheer up at every tired moment and move forward bravely towards new goals. As time goes by, the story of his hometown continues, and Qi Tongwei's figure will always be engraved in the development history of this land, becoming a role model to inspire future generations to keep forging ahead. No matter what difficulties and setbacks we face, as long as there is light and love in our hearts, nothing can stop us from moving forward, just like this seaside land that has experienced many vicissitudes of life, which can finally bloom with the most brilliant brilliance. Qi Tongwei knows that all of this is the most precious wealth in his life. He will spend his whole life to protect and pass on this warmth and hope, so that this warmth and hope can continue in every generation.
In the years to come, Qi Tongwei will continue to pay attention to the education of his hometown. He knows that knowledge changes destiny. Only by giving the next generation a good education can his hometown truly achieve sustainable development. He took the lead in donating money and established the "Haibin Education Fund" to specifically support children from poor families who study hard. Every year at the beginning of the school year, he will personally go to the school to distribute scholarships to the children, encouraging them to study hard and pursue their dreams. Looking at the twinkling light in the children's eyes, Qi Tongwei seemed to see a brighter future for his hometown.
At the same time, in order to enhance the cultural heritage of his hometown, Qi Tongwei also actively promoted the inheritance and development of folk culture. He organized villagers to collect and organize traditional customs and folk stories of the fishing village and held a folk culture festival. During the festival, tourists can not only taste authentic seafood delicacies, but also enjoy wonderful fishermen's song and dance performances, ancient fishing skills demonstrations, etc. This series of measures not only enriched the tourists' travel experience, but also made the younger generation of villagers re-recognize the charm of their hometown culture and enhance their cultural pride.
Qi Tongwei also manages his family with great care. He and Liang Lu would read books with their children in their spare time and share their reading experiences. Every weekend afternoon, the sun shines on the floor of the living room, and the family sits together, immersed in the world of books, warm and comfortable. Under the influence of his father, Qi Dawei developed a strong interest in marine science, so Qi Tongwei bought professional books for him and took him to visit and study at the Institute of Oceanography; Qi Xiaowei was keen on painting, so Qi Tongwei enrolled him in a painting class and supported him in participating in various painting competitions. Seeing the children grow up healthily, Qi Tongwei is full of a sense of accomplishment.
As he grows older, Qi Tongwei's health is gradually deteriorating, but he still sticks to his post serving his hometown.
