Recently, as the cold northeast monsoon gradually disappears, a winter swimmer in Xicheng District, Beijing has begun to be active again.
Incidents of non-compliance with relevant regulations, such as the unauthorized establishment of a swimming area in Shichahai, have been reported repeatedly, but even if these actions are under unacceptable pressure and instructions, they still can't stop the grandfather's love and pursuit of sports.
On the shore of the northern shore of the Shichahai Houhai, it is common to see twenty or thirty citizens gathered here to watch a few elderly people loosen the ice with tools on the thick ice, gradually revealing the appearance of the riverbed below.
The temperature on the ice is 3 to 4 degrees, which undoubtedly makes many winter swimmers excited, and they jump into the lake one after another.
This scene has amazed many citizens, but many people, especially young people, have expressed confusion.
It is understood that when the temperature is suitable, the summer is too hot, and the elderly will also choose to tidy up their clothes on the bank of the river to keep their bodies dry.
But for such behavior, the scenic area expressed regret, because they could not support its continuation.
The street management department of Shichahai tried to prompt frequently, but I didn't expect to be able to get the understanding of the elderly.
This, combined with the open washing activities and climate change, has had a negative impact on the image of the scenic spot.
Despite this, there are always people who can't let go of their memories and Xi, just like 72-year-old Liu Bo, who is one of them.
At the suggestion of the administrator, he decided to try winter swimming.
He is also one of the many elderly people who like to swim in Shichahai winter, and these behaviors that are not afraid of the cold and practice have undoubtedly attracted the attention of many onlookers, and even some self-media people have joined the live broadcast team.
Although this practice violates the rules, they are still obsessed with sports, no matter how cold the weather is.
In today's society, everyone wants to be treated with respect and equality.
In the same way, everyone should have the right to pursue the lifestyle they love.
We cannot deny that the elderly are also one of the few people in the world who can stick to good Xi for many years.
The important position of winter swimming in the lives of these people is the best proof that they insist on exercising and are not bound by age.
They are not only enjoying nature, but also experiencing the process of life.
As mentioned above, although the water temperature in winter is still slightly cold for humans, we still have to respect the choices of the elderly.
What we need to do is to fully recognize the importance of urban participation for the elderly, and provide them with more opportunities for physical exercise that can enrich their lives, so that they can freely and happily participate in their own sports.
Only in this way can we better protect their rights and interests and meet their needs.
