Once I image what our Yangtze River would look like one century ago, it will make the heart break into pieces: during that time, the 7-meters long Chinese paddlefish and 3-meter Chinese sturgeons roamed under the water surface, the baiji swam side by side in the shallow water and push fish towards the lakeshore, the finless porpoises jump before the boats, the Chinese alligators and giant softshell turtles sunbathed on the sandbars in the middle of the river, and the fishermen use the traditional methods to battle with the various huge fishes in the river: Luciocyprinus langsoni, Myxocyprinus asiaticus and so on. Now all the giants have gone.
