Recently, Li Weigang, a popular internet bodybuilding blogger with more than 5 million fans, attracted attention after he contracted a fish pond in Jinfeng Village, Yangjiaqiao Town, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, and posted a video claiming that he was robbed of fish by villagers. On September 6, Li Weigang posted another video to restore the incident, and said that the villagers may have misunderstood that they could catch small fish as they could catch fish at will, and he was sorry for the impact on Jinfeng Village.

Li Weigang said that the fish-catching videos he made were all real events and there were no scripts. I went to Jinfeng Village to catch fish because I received a request from a fan. A fish pond owner owed the fan wages. The fan’s father suffered from cerebral infarction and needed treatment every day. I thought it was a positive thing, and finally worked with the fish pond. The pond owner negotiates a price to buy the fish from the pond and deducts the wages owed.

Li Weigang explained what happened. He said: "During the pumping period, some villagers asked if they could catch fish. I also said that small fish can be caught, because small fish die easily and are difficult for us to sell. We pack the pond to catch big fish. It was a very happy and harmonious thing for the villagers to catch small fish. This time, some villagers went down to catch fish when we started fishing. We also shouted to wait until we finished catching fish, but it had no effect because they were all older. We didn’t say anything. Later, we found out that they only caught big fish but not small fish, so I shouted, “Don’t catch big fish.” During this time, the fan’s mother stopped me on the shore and we had an argument. My son and I contracted the fish pond together. We were afraid that our son would lose money. The owner of the fish pond also stopped us. Later, more villagers went to catch big fish, and the situation got out of control. As a result, after catching the big fish, there were many dead ones floating on the pond. No one wants any of the small fish.”

Li Weigang said that everyone catches one or two big fish, and he doesn’t blame or complain. It doesn’t matter if he loses, as long as everyone is happy. In the end, I caught more than 4,000 yuan of fish. My original intention was to let the fans earn more. Since I didn't make any money, I still transferred the fan's 11,000 yuan fee to him.

Li Weigang said he was sorry for the villagers of Jinfeng Village being bullied online, "I didn't want to discredit Jinfeng Village. I didn't expect that the matter would get so big. I saw that many bad comments have been deleted. I didn't want to because of this." When I was about to hide this video, I saw a screenshot from netizens saying that the village was planning to sue me. They said that I directed and acted myself and invited the villagers to help catch fish. I declared that I would help fans catch fish in the pond. The whole process of wages is real and there is no falsehood. I hope that the majority of netizens will view this matter rationally. After all, the fish catchers are all uncles and aunts. They are old and may have misunderstood me for allowing them to catch fish. They can catch small fish. It sounds like you can catch fish at will. The impact of this incident on Jinfeng Village is really unexpected and I am deeply sorry.”

At present, the fish-catching video that has caused heated discussions has been hidden by Li Weigang.

According to previous reports from Jiupai News, after the video of Li Weigang catching fish in Jinfeng Village was released, many netizens angrily criticized the villagers of Jinfeng Village as having "poor quality", and some netizens called Jinfeng Village a "fish grabbing village".

He added that before the pond was cleared, Li Weigang's fans (the original pond owner) also sent WeChat messages to people in the village, saying that both local villagers and surrounding villagers could come and catch fish. Last weekend, when Li Weigang cleared the pond, many villagers in the village came to watch, and some villagers went into the fish pond to fish. "There were a lot of villagers there, but few actually went to catch fish. Nowadays, the media is more developed, and many of them are actually just watching the fun." ."

Zhou Wenhu said frankly, "I thought it was a good publicity to promote the image of our village, but (unexpectedly) it resulted in a passive situation.

Zhou Wenhu said that on August 31, Li Weigang called him and asked him to use the village's loudspeaker to mobilize the villagers to watch, "but I did not agree at the time because it was a personal act."”
