Working women along the Yangtze

We found these folks doing their work, on a typical gray day,
on a boat ramp along the Yangtze.

By the way....if I may digress....
That's the Shibozhai temple in the background, built in the Ming Dynasty 
(that's about the time of Columbus). 
More about that 12 story structure another day.

Anyway, back to my story......
This young woman was doing her work

when these guys walk down the ramp behind her.

At first I thought they were there to flirt. 

But, no. 
They take out their poles and start fishing right over her head. 

Within a few throws, they got a fish.


In China it seems, that just because you got there first, 
you can't claim a spot on the boat ramp.

There is just  NO  personal space.
