The meaning of life

I just finished watching it last night. For climbers, what is the significance of reaching the top? Perhaps it is a symbol of the human spirit of constant challenge. Nature has both a beautiful side and a cruel side. Climbing Mount Everest is $65,000 per person, which is really expensive, but if it is possible to climb the highest mountain in the world, the price is acceptable, but I always feel that commercial mountaineering has become a game played by the rich, spending money Buying the crime suffers a lot of people. After reading and discussing with friends how the victims could not die, of course, don't be brave. At the same time, I also found that climbing is not the end of the mountain, but you must save some physical strength, otherwise you will never be able to tell the feeling of reaching the top. The climber who lost his nose and hands is very tenacious, but I think it may also be because he did not succeed in the summit, and his physical strength did not lose too much, so he was able to survive the blizzard, while the Japanese who successfully reached the summit did not. So lucky. In the end, it was really powerful and powerful to mobilize the military helicopter to come to the rescue. I feel that human beings are powerless in front of nature, too weak, but human courage is also great. In extreme cases, people can only rely on themselves. They should not say whether others are selfish, but should ask themselves whether they are worth relying on. Those who died were frozen forever in the glacier for hundreds of millions of years. Maybe we don't know how many years it will take to find them. What should we say? After I got out of the theater, my discussions with my friends started to go awry. We thought of something like a rocket vehicle that could fly in thin air without relying on air, and it would be easy to rescue with this kind of thing. I also thought that if a kind of clothing is developed, like a space suit, it can maintain a certain temperature, and oxygen can be generated. Of course, the premise is that there must be an infinite energy supply, a nuclear battery the size of a AA battery. Then, I suddenly realized that it is the energy problem that restricts human development. But I also thought that if the above equipment is really realized, and climbing Mount Everest becomes a safe and easy thing, will people still do it?

    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?
