The buyer, Fujian Panpan Foods Co, made the purchase as a donation to the well-being of the lake, including protecting water quality and stocking it with fry.

In spite of the extremely cold weather, the ceremony attracted lots of visitors to enjoy an impressive ritual to recognize the age-old form of winter fishing on the frozen lake that dates back to the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234).
