The last sigh of life - paying tribute to the mother of mountains and respecting nature

Last week, I watched "The Climber" and saw how China in 1960 climbed Mount Everest from the north slope to win honor for the country; then I remembered "Desperate Altitude", which was also adapted from a true event, so I revisited this four-part series. In the movie from a few years ago, I watched the footage that Doug and Harold dropped several times. I felt that I wasn't ready, why suddenly people disappeared, and I felt the insignificance of life and the helplessness in extreme situations. The beautiful Mount Everest sunrise and Rob's remains at the end of the film are even more desperate compared to the pictures before and after the cliffs of Mount Everest. According to normal physical strength, Rob should be able to go down the mountain, but Harold made sacrifices for the team. , I remembered that many team leaders worked much harder than the team members when they were outdoors. When they climbed Wugong Mountain and went down the mountain, the team leader Maizi led the teammates who were behind to keep up with the team more than three times. When they went down the mountain, their physical strength was very overdrawn. I admire the team leader's physical strength. His responsibility, he had to do it. This time I went to "Desperate Altitude" with my mother, and while explaining, my mother asked, "Why should I be afraid of Everest?" "Probably a self-challenge." I also shared with my mother that as long as you have enough money to climb Everest, you should be able to reach the top without any problem. But you still need enough physical strength, after all, Mount Everest is the ultimate. Even though Kyoko had reached the summit, he finally disappeared on the way home. At the same time, he sighed that Beck's awakening was because of the call of love or would men's physical strength be better than women's? ! unknown. Beck was lucky to be alive, but he also gave his hands and nose. I also think of the news of the "traffic jam" on the way to the top of Everest in May this year. Above 8,500 meters, there is only a narrow road and a rope to go up and down the Hillary Steps, so more than 200 people were "traffic" here, and some people died of hypoxia or died. Others, about 10 people. It is different from ordinary mountaineering. The time to reach the summit of Everest is only a few days each year. It is very important to choose the right time. It's okay to climb mountains and wait for good weather, but it's normal to have some "unexpected" things. Why wait for Everest? We don't need a challenge between people, this time it's a challenge between everyone and the mountain, the last words always belong to the mountain. It's the attitude, not the altitude. [Final appeal: When climbing, can you take away the "garbage" you bring? Also Dashan is innocent. Oyamamoto has no trash cans. Thank you?】

    Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?
