Description: “Hào-zǐ” is the shout that naturally comes out of the mouths of manual laborers as they exert themselves in the course of their work. There are different haozi depending on the places of work. The songs we are about to hear are traditional haozi sung by fishermen in the Zhoushan area of Zhejiang Province, in eastern China. Today, we have Hong Guozhuang, lead vocalist and an inheritor of the haozi tradition, talking about the life, work, and songs of the fishermen of Zhoushan.
