Watching the climbers in the movie, whenever they are exhausted, always reminds me of the experience of walking alone in the Grand Canyon. Compared with the climbers of Mount Everest, going back and forth in the Grand Canyon is definitely a drop in the bucket, but from the moment when I was exhausted and my thigh cramps on the return trip, at that time, the way back might be my Mount Everest. At the moment when I returned to the top of the Grand Canyon with all my strength, I saw that everything in the valley was shrouded in gauze-like sunshine. Although those exhausted people did not retreat at all, the emotion in their hearts supported them to move on.
On the way back from the theater, the foggy Beijing night seems to have that contemplative atmosphere. Since returning to China, I have been persuading myself not to be entangled in the past, but to live in the present and look at the future. But if you can never let go of the ties of the past, how can you simply look to the future? There is such a scene in the movie. There are people who try to reach the top of Mount Everest for the first time, people who have reached the top several times but have not succeeded, and climbers who have already "conquered" other world peaks. When they were asked why they were obsessed with reaching the top of Mount Everest, some people answered simply, that they wanted to reach the top, while others answered, since they have already climbed to other peaks, why should they let this one go? The story tells the reason for the summit. In fact, no matter what reason people have for wanting to "above" the clouds, it's because, no matter what the present, Mount Everest is part of the past for them, or it was the past that brought them to the top 's motivation. Such a tie, for these Everest warriors, is the 8,800-meter peak. For every ordinary us, the ties of the past are not as difficult to climb as the 8,800-meter peak.
People have been climbing the mountain of past entanglements. From the moment you found your goal and made up your mind, you began to think of a way to go through hardships to solve the goal set at this moment in the past, and then you climbed to the peak with incomparable excitement. Admire the infinite scenery in front of you. However, what you think of infinity is actually short-lived, and after a while, you start to take such infinity for granted. Then you start searching for the next target in infinity. In front of you is the dark Xumi, and you start to build a horizontal ladder to the next goal, trying to find the next goal. You build and climb. Over time, you can not only stand on the edge of the horizontal ladder that is being built. At this time, you have no way to go back, because you have crawled all the way, and the way back is far away from yourself, and you can't look down, because you are afraid of falling into the abyss of Sumeru. On the empty spiral ladder, you walk forward, until you find the foot of the next target, you will not drop your feet and no longer step on the hole. When you make up your mind to start climbing the peak of this goal, it also becomes the past. You have started to resolve the next tie in the past. So when will it start now? It is when you step on the horizontal ladder that is being built above the sumer and the void that you will live in the present and focus on the future.
No matter how difficult the ties of the past are to overcome, there will always be a next past in life opposite the abyss of Sumeru. For everyone who is struggling in any corner of the world, or for those who are in transition, life has to have a period of adaptation, like going back and forth between camps at different heights before summiting Mount Everest Train to get your body in top shape. And don't be afraid of the taunters who have already reached the top of the mountain. As Nietzsche said: "Everyone who has already reached the top, they laugh at courage and the climbers behind them. But courage needs to be laughed at." Maybe the glory of the past is like Mount Everest, standing on the top of life, We acknowledge and embrace our glorious past. However, one day, like those brave climbers, I will once again climb to the "top of the world", the "Everest" that belongs to me.
