Cruising the Three Gorges Before the Dam

The three gorges dam not only creates a lot of clean energy, but also help controlling the water levels. Before the dam, there have been numerous floods, some of them devastaging. Also, cruising through the gorge was not easy, as the water was sometimes very low. That's when these poor guys came into action, pulling boats up the river... Why they were not allowed to wear trousers for this strenuous work, I don't now.
