On May 27th, 1975, the China mountaineering team, led by its captain Wu Zongyue, climbed Mount Everest and gave its sleeping bag to a lost Tibetan compatriot, resulting in frostbite and amputation of both legs.

In 20 14, the Everest avalanche killed 16 people. All the climbing activities were cancelled that year, and we had to miss the summit again in the summer when we were already at the base camp of Mount Everest.

On the third trip of 20 15, Xia Boyun was lucky to survive in Nepal.

In May of 20 16, at the age of 67, he set off again, but when he climbed to 8750 meters, he encountered a strong snowstorm and had to choose rational decline. That time, he was only 94 meters away from the peak.

He became the first legless climber and the oldest climber in China to successfully climb Mount Everest. At the moment when he reached the summit, he was also elected as Lawrence's "Sports Moment of the Year Award" in 20 19.

The dream has come true, but Xia is not as excited as he thought, but his mind is very peaceful. "But after staying 10 minutes, I left soon because of the sudden snowstorm."

In the operation of 1975 to climb Mount Everest, Xia, who was inexperienced, climbed to the height of 8600 meters with physical strength and talent, but was caught in a snowstorm when preparing to climb the summit and had no choice but to quit. During the retreat, "Vulcan" Xia Bojun also lent his sleeping bag to his teammates, causing severe frostbite of his lower limbs and amputation of his legs.

At the age of 26, he became disabled for life. Xia remembered the third class merit, maybe he will spend his life in a wheelchair. Originally, this was the end of him and mountaineering. But the words of a German expert rekindled his hope. "Now the prosthesis is very developed, which will not only affect life, but even continue to climb mountains."

On September 1 day, 2065438, he told his classmates the story of climbing Mount Everest and the story of China ladder with his own personal experience in the first class of CCTV.

Recalling the fourth summit of Mount Everest, Xia Boyun intends to "go up first whether he can come down or not". Seeing the five Sherpa guides around him, he hesitated: "They are all in their early twenties. I can't ignore the lives of others because of my own ideals." On the road of this dream at the cost of life, he also respects life more.

For 43 years, the snow-capped mountains have made his hair gray, and the wind and frost have deeply wrinkled his forehead. He also used this 43-year genealogy to write a magnificent time for mountaineers.

As Hemingway wrote in The Old Man and the Sea, "Everything about him looks old except his eyes. They are as blue as the sea, they are happy and refuse to give up. "
