The media just want to make trouble: there is no "boat" to Beijing at the morning peak of Yanjiao North drift.

On March 16, a blogger posted that a shorter waterway route to Beijing was found in Yanjiao: starting from Fuxi Road, driving south through Fenglanzhuang, and then passing through Zuo Di Road to Wangdianzi Village. At the riverside ferry, get on the ferry, cross the Chaobai River to Xiji Town on the other side, and you can go to Beijing-Shenyang Expressway. It also showed a road map and some photos of crossing the river by boat.

The post was forwarded by many official WeChat accounts, and was interpreted as Yanjiao office workers taking a ferry to avoid the serious traffic jam section of Tongyan Expressway in order not to be late, which caused extensive discussion.

In fact, this "hundred-year ferry" of "high mountains and deep waters have their own ferrymen" has long been reported by the media.

Two tin ships are welded together, and the hull is covered with nearly 30 boards and fixed with iron wires. There is a wooden stake with a thick wrist around, and there is a white car and two or three pedestrians in the car. Li Guo, a dark-skinned novice in a military green coat, pulled the steel cable nearly one meter high and thick fingers on the right side of the boat and slowly moved forward.

About a minute later, the ship landed. Li Guoxin tightly wound the steel cables on both sides of the ship on two long wooden stakes on the shore, and lifted two wooden boards weighing 20kg and being10m long to both sides. The driver made a forward gesture, started the throttle, quickly pressed the surfboard and handed it to him 10 yuan.

Li Guoxin said that he and his uncle Li Lian are ferrymen of this ship and villagers of Wangdianzi Village. On weekdays, almost all the people crossing the river by boat are villagers on both sides of the strait, and few cars pass by.

"About five or six years ago, the car began to cross the river, but there are always a few people coming. One or two cars a day at most on weekdays. There are many people fishing on weekends, and the cars are parked on both sides of the river. Crossing the river a little more, the specific number is uncertain. " He described it.

"There are almost no Yanjiao office workers who come to Beijing from here." Li Guoxin admits that he will chat with passengers, but he has never met a Beijinger who works in Beijing, Jiang Lai. But in the last two or three years, there have been more cars crossing the river.

On weekdays, he and his uncle each keep the boat for half a day and then replace each other. The ferry leaves at six o'clock in the morning and ends at about half past six in the evening. People in the village don't accept money, only give it to strangers. Li Guoxin said that this is an unwritten rule, and it can be regarded as making a living, earning two or three thousand yuan a month.

Most villagers ride bicycles and electric cars on the boat. Many villagers who boarded the boat said that this waterway has a history of hundreds of years and is the only channel to enter and leave the village. "The bridge closest to the Chaobai River is also 5 kilometers, and the other side needs 10 kilometers. We have no choice, but fortunately, there is a ferry and it will pass in one minute. " A woman who goes out to work in the village said.

Wang Xing, a 70-year-old man who lives in Xiji Town, said that this boat has existed since I can remember. 20 12 during the rainstorm in Beijing, the water level here soared and the boat was washed away, so the Li family bought a new boat. On weekdays, he used to go to Wangdianzi Village to see a doctor by boat. "The price is cheap, and the old people here often go to the opposite side by boat to register for medicine."

In the afternoon, seven or eight private cars boarded the ferry, four or five of which were from Wangdianzi Village to Xiji. Many car owners said that they were crossing the river for the first time and "saw the news and experienced it personally". A car owner said that it takes an hour from Xiji checkpoint. "It's too closed. I just heard that there is a road here. Let's try it. " The heaviest off-road vehicle weighs nearly 3 tons, and Li Guoxin said four or five tons is no problem.

In fact, if this passage is convenient for residents on both sides of the strait to travel, and there are hidden dangers when passengers cross the border, the local authorities should consider building bridges to make residents on both sides of the strait travel more safely. As for those WeChat official accounts and news media that are not forwarded in large quantities, don't always think about doing things. It is more important to give the truth to netizens. If one day a Yanjiao North drift believes that the evil of these media has an accident on the ferry, I believe these media will continue to do news. Netizens should be careful to identify false news.
