The Yangtze River, about 6,300 kilometres long, is the longest river in Asia.
It provides a lifeline for hundreds of millions of people. It covers an area of 1.8 million square kilometres, about a fifth of the national total. The river also provides a third of our country's fresh water resources. Along with the Yellow River, it is considered as China's "mother river".
However, in recent years, this "mother river" has met with some environmental problems. It was seriously polluted and the number of the fish was getting smaller. To solve these problems, the government passed the Yangtze River Protection Law. The law came into force on March 1, 2021. There are nine parts in the law, covering areas such as resource protection, anti-pollution measures, green development and legal responsibilities. More importantly, the law has introduced a fishing ban(禁令) on the Yangtze River's natural waterways. According to the new law, both the central government and local organizations would put the river protection into their economic(经济的) and social development plans.
Around 231,000 fishermen had given up their fishing rights along the Yangtze River. The then Chinese vice-premier said that more support should be given to these people to help them find new jobs. He also calls for stronger efforts to help prevent activities which are not allowed by the law and encourages the public to support the ban.
