Santa swimsuit run raises money for rural children in Changchun

Dressed in “Christmas swimsuits”, over 50 people took part in a charity run in northeast China’s Changchun city, capital of Jilin Province on Wednesday.

Braving the chilling weather, there were even many elderly participants.

They ran to raise money for children in rural areas of the city, helping the kids realize their wishes in the coming year.

According to its organizers, the run also aims to promote overall involvement in public charity.

As the coldest time in winter has begun in China, the temperature in the city has recently been as low as -17 degree celsius (1.4F).
