Over the past twenty years, Zhang Dewu has never stopped swimming in the frozen Songhua River in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, on a winter day. The temperature dropped below -10°C recently in Harbin, but the 70-year-old man became more excited about the cold.
He loved winter swimming when he first tried it 20 years ago and became a winter swimmer. The cold and strong winds on the frozen river can’t make him afraid. Before he jumps into the icy river, Zhang will do some warm-up exercises like running.
“Winter swimming makes me healthy. I seldom catch a cold,” he said. “However, this exercise isn’t good for everyone, especially for those with heart disease, hypertension(高血压) and hyperlipidemia(高血脂). But I will carry on.”
