A
One wellbelowfreezing morning last December, I walked through the grounds of Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures, and large pieces of ice floated in the lake. I stopped to take a photo, and that's when I saw them: a group of people jumping up and down in the water.
I didn't quite believe my eyes. The ice fighters came out from the lake, their skin steaming. They were laughing and hugging each other. Watching them, I felt a rush of excitement. I called out: “You guys are awesome！” One woman smiled back and said, “Come and join us! You can sign up online.” When I got home, I signed up and received a confirmation email telling me what to bring.
The next morning, a young man first led us through introductions and breathing exercises. Together we jumped up and down, and then charged into the lake. We swam down until just our heads and hands were above water, and called out into the sky. Teeth chattering (打颤), fingers and toes going numb (麻木的), we stayed there for a few minutes. Knowing it was my first time, people cheered me on. When we swam back out of the water, my skin was bright red. It felt amazing. I couldn't remember the last time I'd felt so happy. I went from swimming once a week to almost every day, and I've come to expect that moment when the cold becomes a second skin. Apart from the thrill, what have drawn me are the people.
It won't fix everything in our lives, or the world at large—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session, I returned home feeling stronger and lighter. As another winter sets in, I'm more than ready to embrace the cold again.

Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains, I was a homebody. I had friends to hang out with and several hobbies, and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere. I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one's own eyes.
The situation changed one day when David, my best friend, came to my room. He always got a couple of colorful bugs in his head. He succeeded in talking me into joining him on his trip to the Rocky Mountains.
This was my first time in the mountains, so I was turning my head in all directions. Unluckily, the weather was foggy most of the time, and the higher we climbed the mountains, the less we could see. But I still enjoyed the hike. I walked fast, and because of that I ran out of energy long before we got to the top. David knew how to save energy.
When we finally got to the top, nothing had really changed. The same fog was covering everything. I felt disappointed, as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos. We spent a couple of hours on the top, and decided to turn back. Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out. It wasn't until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked. And for some moments I couldn't believe my eyes.
At that moment, I realized that I wouldn't be able to live a life without visiting the mountains at least twice a year.
