Recently, the diving grandfather on the 100-meter Lion Forest Bridge in Haihe, Tianjin has attracted national attention, and various videos have been circulated on the Internet. Lion Forest Bridge is also called "6A" and "8A" scenic spots in Tianjin by netizens.
Some netizens commented that the world dives to see China, China dives to see Tianjin, and Tianjin dives to see grandpa. Some netizens joked that the latest punch-in point in April this year was the barbecue in Zibo. Go to Guizhou to watch "Village Super" in June and July, and be sure to come to Tianjin to watch grandpa dive in August. ?
What is there to see when Uncle Lion Forest Bridge dives? Why is it so hot?
"Tianjinwei at the bottom of Jiujiang", the Haihe River passing through the city is the mother river of Tianjin people. There are many bridges on the Haihe River with a long history. According to Tianjin Tongzhi Geography, the main stream of Haihe River is 73 kilometers long, and dozens of bridges span the Haihe River. ?
Shizilin Bridge was built in 1954, with Hongqiao District on one side, Hebei District on the other side, and Guwen Street Pier next to it. After many renovations, the bridge is nearly 100 meters long and 40 meters wide. There are three main waterways under the bridge, and the bridge deck is about 6 meters away from the water surface. There are four stone lions on the bridge, and many people dive in the morning.
After the fire broke out, Lion Forest Bridge became a famous punch point in Tianjin and a "show" among network celebrities, and it was even more crowded on weekends.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, there were already many people on the bank of the bridge, and the first wave of diving began. ?
Uncle Shao, 7 1 year old, lives in Nankai District. He arrived at the Lion Bridge early in the morning. He was wearing a bathing suit and swimming trunks and was on crutches. Six months ago, Uncle Shao sprained his left foot while skateboarding, and he has not fully recovered yet. Grandpa joked that he didn't delay swimming. He learned to swim in the Haihe River at the age of six or seven, and has been swimming for more than 60 years.
Grandpa's first trip was at Chifeng Bridge, 3 kilometers away. There used to be several thermal power plants there, and the water temperature was high in winter. Later, when the thermal power plant was demolished, he came to the Lion Forest Bridge to swim.
Uncle Shao didn't jump off the bridge because of his foot injury. He found the launching point on the platform under the bridge, slowly moved into the water, swam in the water for 20 minutes and then went ashore to rest.
"You are from the south, maybe you are not used to it?" Grandpa smiled and said, "You are late. It's too hot here recently. All the people diving this morning are young people. I saw that they didn't do well in the water, and the spray was too big. "
The river bank is crowded with tourists. Whenever someone on the bridge is ready to dive, a mobile phone is brushed under the bridge and raised above the head.
A young man with bare arms stood by the bridge, eager to try, but always afraid to jump down. Someone shouted at the young man, "Be brave! Please be brave ... "Finally, the young man plucked up his courage and bravely jumped out of life.
The young man surnamed Chen, a native of Jiangsu, went to Beijing on business a few days ago, brushed the diving video of Lion Forest Bridge on the Internet and rushed to Tianjin happily.
When Xiao Chen entered the water, there was a big splash on the Haihe River, and the crowd made a sound of "Oh, clear".
A young man standing next to me said, "This is not very good, only 5 points." Add another sentence, "This is an encouragement, and courage is commendable!"
A bus drove to Wanghailou near the Lion Forest Bridge. A dozen uncles and aunts held their own "XX Swimming Team" flags. They came to Tianjin to dive from Beijing, Hulin, Heilongjiang and Siping, Jilin. As soon as the uncles and aunts appeared, the applause rang.
"Oh, Heilongjiang and Jilin are here. Not only did uncle Tianjin dive, but also the aunts and grandfathers in the northeast came. "
An uncle of Siping Hongzui Winter Swimming Team said that they saw the diving atmosphere of Tianjin Shizilin Bridge was very good from the Internet, so they made an appointment to come together. "We want to support it!"
Xu Kai also specially came from Mudanjiang. More than 20 years ago, she successfully dived on the high cliff of Jingbo Lake in Mudanjiang, and was praised as "the fastest cliff diver in Asia" and "the little dragon swimmer in winter". Many local swimmers recognized her immediately and took photos together.
On September 2nd, former Olympic diving champion He Chong also came to the Lion Forest Bridge to dive. In 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, He Chong won the gold medal in men's 3m springboard diving and retired on 20 16. The video of "Olympic champion He Chong diving in the Lion Forest Bridge" once again triggered a hot spread on the Internet. Many netizens said that the jump was very good, and some netizens laughed and said that "the splash is a bit big, and it is estimated to be fierce."
In the popular diving videos on the Internet, the appearances of "Sheriff Panda", "Little Plum" and "Old Sickle" are quite high.
There are 50 or 60 people in the Shizilinqiao diving team, with an average age of 60 or 70. Both Lao Sickle and Xiao Li are members. The diving team will hold activities every festival, such as diving with a red scarf on Children's Day on June 1, and the unique atmosphere has attracted "jumping friends" from all over the country. It is said that in May and June, 45 people from Guangdong folk diving group came.
The panda sheriff's swimming trunks worn by "panda sheriff" are also popular, and many people told the post to buy one. A diver said that the shorts "Sergeant Panda" had been worn for more than two years and were brought back from abroad. "Many people asked us to buy this swimsuit, and we are looking for it now."
"Brother Mu" is from Tianjin, and he is 60 years old this year. The so-called "Tianjinwei Jiujiang Bottom". There are many developed rivers in the water system of Tianjin. At the age of six or seven, "Yumu Qiu Ge" went to the river to play with water under the guidance of adults and developed good water quality.
There are many rivers and bridges, which provide a natural "jumping platform" for Tianjin people in love the water.
"Mu Ge" said that there are many diving spots on the Haihe River, including Bei 'an Bridge, Chifeng Bridge (with a drop of 9 meters) and Fumin Bridge (with a drop of 13 meters), and Lion Forest Bridge is the hottest. "Because it is close to the ancient cultural block in Tianjin, it is warmer under the bridge in winter and will not freeze, and the height (six or seven meters drop) is also appropriate."
"Somehow, it suddenly became a fire." Speaking of the sudden popularity of Tianjin diving uncle, "Yumu Qiu Ge" felt a little puzzled. From 202 1 to 1, he began to shoot short videos of grandma diving, winter swimming and fitness in Tianjin. In the last two weeks, the number of clicks on a video was more than that of the previous 10.
"There was a flood in Tianjin last month, and the original diving place was closed for a period of time, but these uncles and aunts were suffocated. (August) 2 1 suddenly started to catch fire after it was unsealed. "
The earliest diving grandfather
Now I advise young people every day.
The main channel under the Lion Forest Bridge is often crossed by cruise ships. In the morning 10, more and more people dive on the bridge. Several old men who were swimming in the water rushed ashore, and some picked up their horns and shouted to maintain order.
"Many young people took off their clothes and went to the bridge to prepare for diving. There are foreign girls, and people wear strange clothes and life jackets to dive. This is not nonsense. "
"Mu Yuqiu Brothers" admitted that diving is skillful. "Look at those grandmothers. They haven't danced for a day or two. People love to play since childhood, so they have kung fu now. The drop of 4 meters can make people stunned, and 6 meters (standing on the railing for 7 meters) is no joke. I have saved several people recently. "
He said that at present, several old members of the Shizilinqiao diving team have no time to dive, keep order on the bridge deck and discourage inexperienced young people. "After the fire, they were all exhausted."
The "old sickle" appeared again.
The appearance of the "old sickle" caused a sensation among the audience. Every two or three steps, he was stopped to take a photo. In the face of enthusiastic fans, "Old Sickle" always smiles.
"Old Sickle" surnamed Su, said that he is 74 years old. He started swimming when he was a teenager. I studied diving at Shengli Bridge (now Bei 'an Bridge) before, and fixed it at Shizilin Bridge after 200 1 year.
"Water was forbidden here before, and someone was in charge. People come over and say, stop swimming and we won't be stubborn with them. We nodded, well, you ... "
"Old Sickle" said that when he was young, he dared to jump anywhere. "Well, he dares to do various postures and somersaults. Chifeng Bridge is 9 meters high and difficult. I was afraid to jump before. Once I drank three or two glasses of wine and ate a big crab. Wine made me brave. I went to Chifeng Bridge. I didn't get into the water first, but it hurt. "
When he was young, "Old Sickle" went to Tongliao, Inner Mongolia to go to the countryside. After returning to Tianjin, he worked in a shoe city run by Zhejiang people for 25 years until his retirement.
"Later, we dived in the Lion Forest Bridge, and the divers made great moves. There are always twenty or thirty people coming and going. "
"When I was present, the atmosphere at the scene may be more lively. I like to joke and often explain to them, such as' Mr. Zhang is standing on the podium and he is performing for a few weeks and a half'. In fact, there is no lively atmosphere, just happy. "
"Old Sickle" said that I didn't expect netizens to be so welcome, but the attitude was indifferent. "What's not fire, poor and happy, living in the present ... is a gust of wind, and the past has passed."
Speaking of the popularity of diving in Lion Forest Bridge, Old Sickle does not advocate young people to be as lively as possible and "blindly participate in peace". "He can't. He doesn't know how to go down in one posture. How can this work? "
"Tianjin people like to be lively in their bones and have a good attitude. Anyone who comes is welcome, and we won't stop it. It's just that there is less dancing now, mainly to maintain order. Some young people come to dive, and we will ask a few questions when we meet them, whether we can jump or not, and how to get into the water is safer. Just a reminder, everyone is very enthusiastic now, don't have anything. "
Some young people dance well, too. Jamlom, who is in his thirties, is one of the two young people of the Shizilinqiao diving team. He started diving last year.
Jamlom said that not long ago, many young people jumped into the water and died. "We have to learn from the low platform first, which is slowly brought out by the master in the team."
Jamlom is a little worried. Nowadays, many people from other places have never jumped from this height without training. Innovation is mainly "punching in", and the jumping posture is wrong, which is quite hidden.
"The safest way is to take a step forward with one foot, fall freely, and then put your hands and feet together, so that nothing will happen, or you will be easily injured by water."
A man is suspected of "fainting" in diving.
The on-site rescue team rescued the shore urgently.
At about 7 o'clock, a man jumped off the Lion Forest Bridge and was rescued from the water. He was put on a stretcher and sent to the roadside 120 ambulance.
At about 9 o'clock on the same day, tianjin fire announced that a man was suspected to have been "stunned" by the water because of his wrong posture when diving in the Lion Forest Bridge in Tianjin. Firefighters and Blue Sky Rescue Team dived for emergency rescue. The fire department reminded him that high platform diving is risky, so don't imitate it.
Many interviewees also told reporters that high platform diving is more dangerous, so don't rush to participate. Even if you take a sip of water and your hands and feet are in the wrong position, accidents may occur.
There are also relevant reminders on both sides of the embankment of Shizilin Bridge. Near the pier of Guwen Street, there are safety tips such as "No Swimming".
Due to the hot diving of Shizilin Bridge, relevant departments have also strengthened management and maintenance on site. From 8: 00 am to 6: 00 pm, the local public security, urban management and traffic police have been on the scene to guide, 120 ambulances and medical emergency points are on standby at any time.
Some young people climbed over the bridge fence from the sidewalk on the bridge. Although the police and urban management at the scene repeatedly reminded, most people basically did not listen.
There are traffic lights on both sides of Shizilin Bridge, and there are too many tourists near the diving spot. Although at least four traffic policemen have been maintaining order at intersections, it is not uncommon to run red lights at will. The sidewalk on the bridge is about 3 meters wide, and the bridge deck is almost full of people from morning till night, so it is impossible to pass normally.
