Differentiated management should keep up, "Tianjin Grandpa Diving" has become popular
Recently, the diving masters in Tianjin have suddenly attracted a lot of attention. On social media, multiple videos of Tianjin men and women diving in the Haihe River have been widely circulated, making places such as Shizilin Bridge and Bei'an Bridge on the Haihe River popular tourist spots for checking in. Nowadays, the Lion Forest Bridge in Tianjin is crowded with people from morning till night to watch the "Tianjin Diving Master", and some even start live streaming sales.
A group of diving enthusiasts have become the focus of people's attention for two reasons: firstly, it is said that the art style is "very unique", with big men wearing various colored shorts standing by the bridge, some reciting a few poems, some shouting inspirational words, or standing upside down or saying "yes", and interacting with the audience in a funny way, focusing on a harmonious atmosphere. The second is that the masters are humorous, optimistic, and cheerful, and many people are infected by their brave spirit and sunny smiles. Some people say that the masters jump in water, demonstrating a positive and healthy attitude towards life. What reason do we have to be decadent when all the big men are living so vigorously?
The diving performances of Tianjin masters provide a new perspective for the public to view elderly life. Elderly people can also find their sense of belonging and value, and add vitality to the city, demonstrating another possibility of positive aging.
However, in the era of the internet, many things that were originally normal can become tasteless when viewed and hyped up. Diving is a common way of life for some Tianjin gentlemen to entertain themselves. However, with the intervention of online video bloggers and anchors, onlookers flocked to the Lion Grove Bridge, where people gathered from morning till night to watch Tianjin Diving Master, stranded on the bridge where cars were coming and going, squeezing the bridge to the brim. Some young people, in order to "clock in," imitate Tianjin Diving Master and jump off the Lion Forest Bridge, some of whom have no diving experience at all.
After the "Tianjin Grandpa Diving" became popular, the scene faced the risk of worsening order and increasing safety hazards. Diving is not a sport that everyone can participate in, and the consequences of accidental injuries can be unimaginable. Based on this, in recent days, local urban management, traffic police, and street volunteers have appeared at the bridgehead of Shizilin Bridge to remind and dissuade them.
Will diving not be allowed after the Lion Grove Bridge? According to signs such as "No Climbing, No Diving" and "No Swimming" posted at Lion Forest Bridge and other places, the local attitude towards diving at the bridgehead is "prohibited". However, the management is relatively random, so some Tianjin masters have the possibility of diving, and they are worried about being completely banned in the future.
Experts suggest respecting and accommodating the needs and choices of the elderly, and taking measures as much as possible to create a safe environment for them - developing safety measures, predicting water source conditions, limiting diving age, etc. to ensure safe diving activities.
The diving area has become a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities, and the Tianjin diving master has been observed and imitated. The management department should fulfill its responsibilities in accordance with the law and protect this unique urban landscape through differentiated management. Appropriate measures should be taken to maintain normal order in relevant areas, and to dissuade and stop personnel from obstructing management and endangering safety. Especially, it is necessary to prohibit people who are not familiar with the water area from diving, and to strengthen publicity and education for those who are watching and making noise, so that they can abide by public order and not incite others to engage in dangerous behavior. If a personal injury accident is caused by bystanders inciting others to dive, the bystanders must bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
