A couple in China saw the entire fish stock at their fish farm disappear after high volumes of oil waste leaked into the local reservoir, polluting the waters.
In 2015, Li Xiaoming, 55, and his wife, Liu Mingfeng, 53, returned to their hometown in Dingjunshan Township in northwestern China’s Shaanxi Province, after 19 years working out of town, according to a July 13 report by Huashang Daily, a local state-run newspaper.
