Xiao Yuan, a left-behind child in a fishing village, learned to fish from Uncle Fan, a retired old fisherman. But Uncle Fan refused to teach him to use bait—instead, he made Xiao Yuan practice 'baitless fishing': standing by the shore to feel the current, listen to the fish, and sit for hours. The villagers mocked him for 'learning a useless skill,' and his father called him a 'disgrace.' On his deathbed, Uncle Fan gave Xiao Yuan a tattered fishing manual and said, 'The secret of baitless fishing isn’t no bait—it’s becoming the fish’s 'bait' by understanding them. If you know them, they’ll come.' Five years later, the village was on the brink of collapse due to overfishing. At the Fish King Contest, Xiao Yuan’s baitless technique was met with accusations of cheating—until he caught the 'Giant Scale Fish,' a legend that had vanished for a decade. It turned out Uncle Fan had been the previous Fish King, who retired to protest chemical bait that destroyed the ecosystem. Xiao Yuan not only won the title but also revived the village’s old tradition of 'coexisting with fish,' saving the fishing grounds his ancestors had guarded for generations.
