As we sailed closer to Ho Chi Minh City, instead of the large ocean-going cargo vessels and tankers that we saw in abundance on our approach to Shanghai, we came across small fishing boats, manned by only one or two individuals. These boats were often in groups, but unlike the larger ships that asserted their dominion over the rivers they traversed by their sheer size and man-made materials, these fishing boats of wood moved lightly in the water, a melody within the symphony of the river’s ecosystem.
