在北京颐和园南门外的京密引水渠,一群退休老年人长期在禁泳区域游泳,将这条人工水渠变成了非正式的社区休闲场所。192岁的王建宝每天都会骑三轮车花40分钟前来游泳,他对官方禁令不以为然,声称"颐和园属于人民,不是你们的"。1当日气温超过35度,正值三伏天,约50名游泳者在该处活动,其中以退休男性居多。1
尽管当局禁止在此游泳,但这一禁令早已形同虚设。1多年前,游泳者曾通过集体抗争成功阻止执法,他们甚至集体拦阻安保车辆至晚上11点。1最终,当局放弃了强制执法。1京密引水渠建于1960年代,全长112公里,因水质清洁且兼具历史意义,已成为这些老年人名义上违规、实际上被默许的游泳场所。1
Outside the Summer Palace in northwest Beijing, a group of retired swimmers continues a decades-long tradition of cooling off in the Jingmi Diversion Canal despite official prohibitions.1 The waterway, which stretches 112 kilometers and was constructed in the 1960s, has become an informal recreational hub for elderly residents seeking relief from summer heat.1 On days when temperatures exceed 35 degrees Celsius during the hottest months, approximately 50 swimmers, predominantly retired men, gather at the site to escape the oppressive weather.1
The swimmers' defiance of authorities reflects a long-standing standoff between local residents and government enforcement. Years ago, swimmers collectively blocked security vehicles until late evening to prevent officials from enforcing the swimming ban, ultimately leading authorities to abandon their efforts to clear the area.1 Among the regular visitors is 92-year-old Wang Jianxiong, who rides a tricycle for 40 minutes each day to reach the canal.1 When questioned about swimming in a restricted zone near one of Beijing's most iconic landmarks, Wang stated: "The Summer Palace belongs to the people, not to you."1 Despite the official prohibition, authorities have effectively ceased enforcement at the location, allowing the community's informal use of the waterway to persist.1
