The temporary captain Fang Wuzhou () chose the former between rescuing his companion Qu (Zhang Yi) and keeping the camera in Qu's hand. Although the China mountaineering team successfully climbed to the top from the north slope, and completed the task that the world mountaineering community thought impossible, this feat was not recognized internationally due to the lack of 360-degree images taken around the top of the mountain. 1975, in order to gain the recognition of the international community, the China mountaineering team assembled again.
