Carp swimming upstream delights visitors (1/3)

People watch carp swim upstream at a wetland in Yichang, Central China’s Hubei province, March 25, 2015. Carp are often found in Chinese culture and art, symbolizing perseverance and strength. A common saying is that “a student facing their examinations is like a carp attempting to leap the Dragon Gate.” Carp jumping over a wave or swimming upstream are regarded as having achieved success.
