Old fisherman Zhang San, experienced and having sailed the seas for decades, had seen countless storms. One day, he saw some young fishermen whose skills were not yet proficient, and he earnestly warned them: 'Safety first when fishing at sea! The sea is unpredictable; you must always be careful and not take risks for the sake of temporary profit.' He recalled his own youth, when he had nearly perished at sea because of his recklessness; that experience was etched into his memory. He meticulously explained various nautical knowledge and safety precautions, and patiently answered every question the young fishermen asked. He also recounted many dangerous situations he encountered at sea and how he escaped them. Finally, he earnestly said: 'The sea is our provider, but also a dangerous place. Only by respecting the sea can we survive at sea and obtain a rich harvest.' The young fishermen were deeply moved by the old fisherman's sincere emotion and rich experience. They listened attentively and wrote down every word of the old fisherman. From then on, they were even more cautious when fishing at sea, and they always remembered the teachings of the old fisherman.
