"1, 2, come on!1, 2, come on!1, 2, come on!" I was walking casually by the river a few days ago, when I was suddenly attracted by a shout, and I listened to the sound, and a group of people gathered not far away, I don't know what they were doing. When I approached, I was amazed that a group of old men were swimming in winter.
In the traditional culture of the mainland, "winter swimming" is a sport with a long history. It is not only a way to exercise the body, but also a hone of perseverance and courage.
The winter swimming trip of these sixty-year-old uncles is the inheritance and development of this culture. They interpret the spirit of winter swimming with their practical actions, inspiring generations to bravely meet the challenge.
At this time, the middle of the northern river flows too slowly, and the skates near the shore have long been formed. Unexpectedly, in the cold winter of Layue, the northerners actually wintered in the frozen river, and I instantly threw myself to the ground.
The ice is several meters away from the unfrozen, an uncle jumped down with a "plop", he held a wooden stick about 3 meters long and thick at the mouth of the bowl, "dong dong dong" and kept knocking on the ice, the ice skate splashed around, once, twice, three times, after about 5 minutes, the people on the shore hurriedly called the uncle to come up, the first uncle came up, the people around him immediately put a towel on him, and then the second uncle relayed, those old friends asked him to be careful to go down the river, he began to repeat the action just now.
That's it, every time I knock on that dozen centimeters, advance a little, and move forward a little more. I don't know how many times I changed it, and it took me to knock on the ice surface of about 2 meters. The uncles watched the places where they could swim become more and more spacious, their faces were smiling, no one said it was cold, no one shouted tired, no one complained, and no one flinched halfway.
They encouraged each other, cheered, cheered, helped each other hand warm clothes, and their hearts were full of worries, once one of them was in the water for a long time, they quickly shouted for them to come back.
I think this is probably the power of love, and the spirit of never giving up that sustains them.
In the cold wind, people shivered from the cold, and they wished to stay indoors and not come out. The sixty-year-old men did the opposite, they got into the biting water, just to swim for a while.
When it freezes, they try their best to break the ice and move forward, one by one, inch after inch, gathering less into more, and eventually they will grow in a short period of time, and they will always reach the ideal distance.
They did not give up their love because of their age, did not give up chasing their dreams because of objective conditions, on the contrary, they dared to challenge themselves and challenge the harsh environment.
They seem to be swimming in winter, but they are actually challenging themselves, challenging their lives, and challenging their limits.
They dance with the cold and struggle with the ice.
In the process of winter swimming, the masters not only have to face the physical cold, but also face the psychological test. Every time you get into the water, it takes a lot of courage and perseverance. However, they used his actions to tell us that age is not a problem, as long as we have firm faith and determination, we can overcome ourselves and dance with the cold.
Through winter swimming, they are also conveying a positive attitude towards life. They let us see that no matter how big the difficulties and challenges in life are, as long as we stick to our beliefs and move forward bravely, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and meet a bright future.
When we sigh at the courage and perseverance of Uncle Dong Yong, we can't help but ask ourselves: Do we also have the courage to meet the challenges in life?
Life is wonderful because of challenges, and only by constantly challenging ourselves and surpassing ourselves can we truly appreciate the true meaning and meaning of life.
Looking at this group of vigorous old people, the old people who have the courage to challenge themselves, our younger generation should also learn from them, in the face of difficulties and setbacks, do not be frustrated, do not give up, but find a way to overcome it and overcome it!
