After watching the German mountaineering film "Nordward" (North Peak, Cruel Ice and Snow), I seemed to be shaken out of the daily mundane life for a moment, ice and snow, iron and blood, 2000-3000 meters above sea level, human nature under the snowstorm. The life point smashed by the ice axe, the survival line wedged in by the rock nails, a slip and return to the deep stream - the eternal sleep of the warriors.

How naive it was when playing Sword III, Fit Fit, fell to the death of countless Chunyang. In the game, Qinggong traverses mountains and waters, and when you have enough internal energy, you can climb Huashan and jump over heavy eaves. When the hissing and shouting were drowned out by the wind and snow, the fingers were stiff and half of the face was frostbitten, and the partner fell down the mountain and the blizzard hit the top of the head, cruel ice and snow, is it a cold irony to human beings despising nature?

North Face quotes

  • [first lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] When you're at the bottom - Toni once told me - at the foot of the wall, and you look up, you ask yourself: How can anyone climb that? Why would anyone even want to? But hours later when you're at the top looking down, you've forgotten everything. Except the one person you promised you would come back to.

  • [last lines]

    [in German, quoting English subtitles]

    Luise Fellner: [voiceover] All I know is that death spared me, and that Toni went away forever that day. One has lived if one has loved. There are times when I find this infinitely hard to believe. Most days I feel that I am alive. And that love is the reason for that.
