Live Wilderness Adventure

"I'm leaving."

Guise touched his grown son's face and walked out of the house with a smile.

This year's climbing season is here. As the leader of the Sherpa team, Gies has climbed Mount Everest for the first time since the millennium. He has reached the top of Mount Everest 5 times. Think of Guise as a hero.

Behind him, a thirteen-year-old boy frowned, looking at his father's back with a serious expression. Sometimes they still cry, wondering if their father will come back. The boys lost their uncle last year - he died on Everest.

Then, my father never came back.

There was a big avalanche. Without warning, 14,000 tons of ice and snow fell on the main climbing route. People were completely unable to withstand it. At this moment, only the Sherpas were climbing.

People were buried in an instant, falling, blood, debris, backpacks and shoes scattered all over the place, faces so scarred that it was impossible to tell, including the boy's father.

Going down the mountain.

The climbing season has been canceled, Tenzing thought to himself at Camp 1.

Tenzing was not very happy. The avalanche reminded him again of his father, his mother, and the sunny day that seemed to be covered with gray fog.

It was a very bad day, everyone was calling for help, and the walkie-talkie kept beeping.

Thirteen people were killed and three were missing, all Sherpas. This is the largest casualty record on Everest in one day. And the missing person has not been found, the government announced to stop the search and rescue.

Some people are buried in icefalls forever. People buried in Icefall cannot have funerals. In the Buddhist beliefs of the Sherpas, this means that they will not be able to reincarnate, and their souls will never rest in peace.

Tenzing didn't see his father that day, but he knew he would never see him again.

Nepal’s tourism industry makes a profit of US$360 million a year, but the government’s pension for each deceased family is only US$400, which is less than a quarter of the income of a novice Sherpa guide in a mountaineering season. funerals are not enough.

Tenzing's mother took the lead in protesting: "We must respect the dead. That road has become a cemetery. We should respect our brave old friends and keep that in mind. How can we walk over their bodies?"

All Sherpas raised their hands and shouted together: "Respect the dead! Respect the dead...  

Sherpas, who have been holding back, hope to be respected. They called on Nepalese and foreign climbers not to summit again this year.

The Sherpas wanted the mountaineering company to speak up, but the boss just said, "...but we have to move forward, or you won't have income to support your family."

It wasn't until the sixth day after the avalanche, at the request of the association's consultation, that the officers flew to the base camp by helicopter to meet the Sherpas.

The Sherpas hope that the government will uphold justice and cancel this season's climbing, while the mountaineering company hopes that the government will agree to the Sherpas' demands so that the climbing season can continue.

Officials have not made a clear statement or decided to close the mountain, putting the Sherpas in a dilemma.

The Sherpas have endured for decades, and this time they decided to roar. Too many friends died in the mountains, they want to live, they also have family to wait. Even if they will pay the price - lost a year's income.

It was only when all Sherpas went on strike that Nepal understood what Sherpas meant to them and what they stood for.

All routes are out of maintenance, only the top climbers can climb, the money of the rich has no meaning, and they waved their money to express their anger at not being able to climb.

In the end, the mountaineering season was canceled, and since then, every time there is a disaster, remembrance has become the default rule.

The sun seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, and everyone was burning the pine shrine to pray for blessings and ease their fears.

Tenzing stood between the ridges, watching his mother hold her newborn brother with her back to the sunlight outside the window. The mother was not happy with the victory. There were no tears on her face, but her eyes seemed to be lost and motionless.

In the past, the villagers lived on potatoes and depended on the sky for food. Now everyone is climbing, what is it for?

Looking at his young brother and vicissitudes of mother, Tenzin, who was thirteen but never went to school, understood the reason ignorantly.

The climbing season has been canceled, and the Sherpas have gained respect, but little has improved their lives.

The mother is getting older, and the younger brother also needs money to go to school. This is not a good thing for Tenzing, but for his own people, it is a matter of dignity and cannot be desecrated.

"It's a pity, Bi Fang may really be able to climb to the top and make history." Attenborough sighed. The cancellation of the climbing season didn't matter to him. He was satisfied that he could come to Camp 1, and then he went up. , he is also incapable.

"Making history? How could it be? Someone did it without oxygen?" Tenzing smiled, not quite understanding what Attenborough meant.

Although he didn't like those climbers, Tenzin had a different feeling for the current team for the first time, not just because Mr. Bi Fang saved his life.

Also because this mountaineering team is very different, unlike any team he has ever led.

Mr. Attenborough in front of him, Sir, is obviously an old man, but during the climbing process, whenever he sees rubbish, he will take it as much as possible, pick it up, and carefully, like taking care of a gem. Be careful, remove the "dirt" on Mount Everest little by little, and care more about the beauty of Mount Everest than these "indigenous people".

Before this, Tenzin had never seen anyone doing this. Maybe some people didn't throw the garbage, and some people picked up the garbage, but it was impossible to leave the team for a short time, and use the trekking pole to fork the plastic bag on the cliff and stuff it into the own pocket.

Mr. Yao Jun is very rich. Tenzin drank hot chicken soup at the base camp for the first time. He is very nice and can speak English and tell jokes, which is very interesting.

Mr. Wang is fat, but he is very friendly, and his eyes are completely different from other rich people. He doesn't give him the feeling of being aloof.

Of course, there is also Mr. Bi. Every time he looks up at the mountain, Tenzin seems to be able to see the fire-like enthusiasm in his eyes. No matter how tired he is, he will not let the porter help him carry his luggage. In the last one, he protects everyone as much as possible. When crossing the crack, he will also rush to the first one to make sure that the aluminum bridge is firm and stable.

Even if he encountered an avalanche, he didn't escape alone for the first time. The avalanche was approaching, and he had to carry Mr. Attenborough on his back and drag himself tightly.

Tenzin is very grateful to Mr. Bi Fang, he saved everyone's life, and if he comes back next time, he is willing to guide him for free.

"Don't you know?" Attenborough was a little surprised, and then suddenly thought of something, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com explained, "Bi Fang is from China, but no one in China has ever reached the top without oxygen, never ."

Tenzing was stunned. "But he never said that! It's a huge honor!"

"Yes, it's a huge honor." Attenborough nodded, "but that's exactly it, he doesn't want to promote it, he just wants to prove it. I also yearn for the beauty of nature, Bi Fang is just to prove that the Chinese people have this ability, remember what I said before?"

Tenzinmo backtracked: "Adventure is not the same as being reckless and out of control, nor is it simply trying to die to find excitement, but to challenge the limits of human beings and do a great cause that no one dares to do."

Attenborough smiled and nodded.

"But the climbing season is canceled!"

"Yes, so I said it's a pity, he could have made history... uh, what's wrong with you?" Attenborough looked at Tenzing who suddenly got up.

"No, you can't just give up."

Tenzing clenched his fists and ran down the mountain abruptly.
