He Ping, a minority, 41 years old at the time.

Middle-aged, without a wife or children.

In the village, he was average-looking, not fond of talking, not fond of socializing.

His parents passed away early, leaving only him at home.

People from his clan rarely interact with him because he was born bald with some bump-like things on his head, which others find taboo.

He Ping attended middle school and did quite well, but when he was accepted into high school, he couldn't afford it and dropped out.

Fortunately, he had a knack for fishing and shrimp catching, allowing him to support himself. Selling fish and shrimp, he also hunted, shooting arrows and wielding his knives skillfully.

However, he spent half his time sleeping, a small portion fishing and hunting, and another small portion drinking.

The fish and mountain goods he sold were exchanged for alcohol and food.

Living alone, this was how he spent his days.

Until one day, Liu Zhizhong arrived in Shanan County, restructuring the villages, putting an end to fishing and hunting, guiding fishermen and hunters to switch professions, engaging in the tourism service industry, joining the agricultural production force!

However, He Ping did not join and started fishing.

With fishing, he could still sustain himself, it was a gift.

When he defeated top-tier national anglers, clinching both the individual single-fish championship and total weight championship, he shocked the world, becoming widely known.

The first person in domestic wild fishing, he became legendary, causing many masters to sweat with embarrassment!

However, when he won the championship, during the award speech, he finally broke his silent and reserved style and spoke a few words.

"No one knows this river better than I do because it is my mother river; it has fed me from childhood till now."

"No one can know this place better than me, where fish appear, what fish appear, when they appear, and what kind of fishing is the most effective."

"No one would believe, in the middle of a small creek on the other side of the river, there is such a magical spot. Come winter, big and small fish love hiding there to overwinter."

"In my territory, I can win! In other places, I might not win, but I certainly won't lose terribly. No one understands fish habits better than I do, even when I'm drunk, I can hear the fish's heartbeat!"

Darn...

He Ping was directly nicknamed Know-it-all He Ping by the netizens!

He's familiar with this place; he's the strongest local fisherman, without a doubt.

As for hearing fish heartbeat, that might be a bit far-fetched.

Nonetheless, he became famous overnight, he became a sensation, taking home the top prize of 11 million.

Someone invited him to endorse, he refused.

He said the money was enough for buying alcohol; he didn't need to earn anymore.

He also mentioned that when his father was still alive, he told him money should be just enough, too much is a curse! Therefore, he said he had little interest in money, preferring the free and easy fishing, and listening to the sound of fish heartbeats.

A wild fishing master content with life has his own philosophy.

His sayings, netizens have summarized many.

The most astonishing are:

"I don't know any masters, in Shanan, I am the master, no refuting accepted!"

"I don't worship any fishing bigwigs except my father, he's the real dad!"

"I won't purchase any bait or small drugs because they're a tax on intelligence! Wild fishing, the spot determines everything!"

"If you'd ask who's the person I hate the most, it might still be the former County Chief Liu Zhizhong, now Secretary Liu Zhizhong!"

This last statement erupted when he was invited by the national television during the Fishing Festival, live broadcast, it exploded there and then…
