Fisherman buys dream island

Fuzhou resident says he wants to protect waters for future generations

To many people, buying an uninhabited island seems like a far-off dream. But one entrepreneur from Fuzhou, Fujian province, has spent more than 300 million yuan ($48 million) to make this dream a reality.

Yao Caiming, president of Fujian Mingdao Industrial Co, bought Yangyu Island in Fuzhou's Lianjiang county in 2012.
