Mr. Feng of the neighborhood is more familiar with the male client, and he is also a swimmer in Waterfall Bay. Feng said that the neighborhood called the male hero Uncle, referring to his physical fitness, every day from about 2:30 pm to about 3:00, will swim in Waterfall Bay, about 25 minutes in summer and warm time, about 10 minutes in winter.

Feng said that there are not many swimmers in Waterfall Bay. Due to the turbulent water flow before and after the wind, the east and west flow directions are often reversed. It is suspected that the uncle is old and coupled with the unfamiliar flow change. The water was washed away from the shore 3 degrees within 10 days. At about 100 meters, he was unable to swim back to shore on his own due to lack of physical strength. Fortunately, he was rescued by the neighborhood and dragged him back with blisters. "The channel is too old." The neighbourhood was very concerned about Uncle Ying. He once persuaded him not to swim again to avoid accidents. It was expected that an accident would happen today, "Oh! It is estimated that there were three rescues, and today he is missing, Yin Gong!".

Feng pointed out that Uncle Ying was more reticent and would only say hello to a few more familiar neighborhoods and rarely chat with people. See you on the 2nd, Uncle Ying fell into the water for only 2 minutes, and returned to shore immediately after a free 10 meters. The neighbourhood cared about condolences and left without telling the reason.
