Another film based on a true story, which records a tragic summit in 1996. Humans have the courage to challenge Mount Everest, but after the challenge is completed, they return like refugees, giving people a very tangled feeling. Moreover, even if it is to the top, there is no such exciting feeling, risking life just to touch a mound at the top. If Mount Everest is regarded as a goal of life, how many people fall not far from the finish line, and how many people recklessly advance and fall at the finish line regardless of the consequences. Going up is not easy, going down is even harder. Plus, it's really hard to hear them coughing. . .
