[Korea Island] A warm and friendly village! Let's meet the story of Captain Ma Dong-su, who lives in Namyeol Village, Goheung, Jeollanam-do. A shrimp fishing boat sets out to sea from the Goheung Namyeol-ri wharf. This is Captain Ma Dong-su's van, going out to catch medium-sized shrimp. Even with 30 years of experience at sea, sea fishing is still difficult. Captain Ma Dong-su has a strong assistant, his wife, Suyeong Cheopda. His wife, who is from Jeonju, first encountered sea work because of her husband. At first, everything was unfamiliar and difficult. Shrimp fishing, which he said he could never do alone! Today, thanks to the help of his village brother, Byeong-cheol, the work went much more smoothly! The day when his wife and the villagers who had no experience at sea came out together! Finally, today, I see the first net. Various fish were caught up together... but only the snails, which are considered bycatch... The medium-sized shrimp that I was waiting for are hardly visible... On the way back with a disappointing report card. Even after returning to the port, there is no time to rest. This is because the work of sorting the fish caught today by type and loading them onto a live fish truck to sell them remains. The couple's day, which started earlier than others at dawn, feels very long... The sorting work is no ordinary job. Each and every hand is precious, and on busy days, the help of the villagers who work together with them is a great help. Mr. Byeong-cheol's daily income is only the fish caught today, but the villagers of Namyeol help each other when needed. Their friendship is really deep. ~ The village elder brother who got on the boat at the captain's call! He takes him and goes to Nando, Yeosu to sell the fish he caught today. Didn't he want to go with the village elder brother? ^^ They don't mind calling out to their neighbors on the street without any special business or reason, and the villagers of Namyeol are very close. Before they know it, the sun has set, and they load the fish they caught onto the live fish truck. Only after they finish this work does the day's work end. Today, everyone worked hard, so the captain is preparing dinner. Dinner is late because we sold the fish and came back. Since we worked hard to catch them, all that’s left is to enjoy them deliciously. How can we leave out our neighbors at a place like this? On days when Captain Ma Dong-soo comes back from the sea, a sumptuous meal is prepared thanks to his aunt Geum-soon, who cooks the fish his nephew caught deliciously. On days when he goes out to sea, Captain Ma Dong-soo does not sell all the fish he caught, but shares some of them with his neighbors. Sharing what he caught with the villagers is his small happiness. I think this is the secret to the deep and profound friendship of the people of Namyeol Village. The villagers are also full of gratitude to Captain Ma Dong-soo, who always gives generously. The friendship of the people of Namyeol Village deepens. The next morning! Captain Ma Dong-soo hurries to work. Today, his wife, as well as his close brothers and sisters from the village, joined him in the fishing. Today, we should catch a lot of medium-sized shrimp... Since the sea conditions are good, we head to the fishing ground with high expectations! After moving to the fishing ground for an hour, we lower the net in 20 minutes. After quickly lowering the net, we have to move the boat and pull the net. Captain Ma Dong-soo prays earnestly. I hope that wish comes true. While waiting for the fish to be caught, breakfast is being prepared on the boat. They cut up the eel they caught yesterday and even vegetables to prepare a decent meal on the boat. The meal on the boat looks amazing~ In fact, the captain's heart was also in this meal. I think the villagers who came out to sea early in the morning were on his mind. Captain Ma Dong-soo, who thinks deeply about his hometown and the villagers. He only thought about his hometown. The number one contributor to uniting Namyeol Village! Captain Ma Dong-soo! We could see his heart that loves his hometown Namyeol Village more than anyone else and thinks about the villagers. We will continue to support the story of Namyeol Village and Captain Ma Dong-soo! It was really nice to see Captain Ma Dong-su and the local residents helping him by generously sharing the fish they caught. I hope the story of the warm Namyeol Village, full of humanity and affection, will continue in the future!
