 Xia Boyu is hereJoined the Chinese mountaineering team at the age of 25,Due to its excellent physical fitness and adaptability in cold environments, it is known by teammates asThe God of Fire.‌

On the northern slope of Mount Everest in 1975, 26 year old Xia Boyu encountered a blizzard at an altitude of 8600 meters. He resolutely saved his teammatesGive your sleeping bag to your teammateCausing severe frostbite to both feet. Returning to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, when the doctor lifted the sheets, this young man who once dreamed of conquering the top of the world could only watch helplessly as his legs were forever left in the operating room.1994To adapt to the prosthetic limb, one-third of the calf was once again amputated.But suffering doesn't mean itLet go of Xia Boyu, followed by,The notification of lymphoma diagnosis pushed his life to the edge of a cliff.
 He started every dayWaking up at 5 o'clock: 90 minutes of strength training, 10 kilometers of hiking, 1500 weight-bearing squats, with blood always oozing from the friction between the prosthetic and flesh. The 2011 Italian Climbing World Championships,sixty-sevenAt the age of, he wore prosthetic limbs to dominate the difficulty and speed double crown, allowing the world to witness the steel will of Chinese disabled athletes.
 At 10:40 am on May 14, 2018, the five-star red flag fluttered from the top of Mount Everest. 69 year old Xia Boyu has finally fulfilled his promise to Mount Everest in 43 years, after 5 failed attempts to reach the summit, 4 amputations, and 1 cancer chemotherapy. In the thin air of minus 30 degrees Celsius, his prosthetic limb was deeply buried in snow. Trembling, he pulled out the national flag sewn by his wife - this was a consolation for his teammate who sacrificed in 1975, and also the strongest counterattack against fate.
 Nowadays, Xia Boyu, who holds the Lawrence trophy, still maintains a daily routineA training distance of 10 kilometers. From the roof of the world to the Antarctic ice sheet, from university lectures to public welfare stages, he continued to climb with medals all over his body. When young people ask for the secret to success, this touching Chinese“Legless warrior”Always smiling and showing off the scratches on the prosthetic limbLife gave him pain, but he repaid it with a song.

In the ending shot of 'Endless Climbing', Xia Boyu's prosthetic limb is deeply embedded in the snow of Mount Everest, and the winding upward footsteps are like a life poem engraved on the cliff.

In this issue of the international journal Qingqiao,Xia Boyu“walk into”Better to conduct interviews and share your insights with readers.

In your mountaineering career, you have experienced various dangers, even ifAdequate preparation,midwayStill full of variablesSo, climbing the peaks of reality, the peaks of lifeHow should we face the sudden danger of 'mountain peaks'?
 Xia Boyu：Mountaineering is a challenging and risky sport, especially when climbing high-altitude peaks such as Mount Everest, where unpredictable dangers may arise at any time. I have challenged Mount Everest five times and personally experienced natural disasters such as ice avalanches, avalanches, blizzards, and even earthquakes. These experiences have made me deeply realize that climbers must be mentally and physically prepared before setting off.

The weather is the most uncontrollable variable during the mountaineering process. Although modern weather forecasts are relatively accurate, the weather in high-altitude areas may still experience sudden changes. I remember one time when the peak was reached, the weather forecast showed a good window period, but there was only one left from the summitSuddenly encountering a blizzard at 8750 meters during the 1-hour journey. Instantly strong winds are enough to roll people off cliffs, while low temperatures are more likely to cause severe frostbite - this extreme situation constantly tests the climbers' adaptability and psychological resilience. Therefore, every climber should prepare for the worst-case scenario: whether they can successfully reach the summit this time? Can it be safely withdrawn in case of danger?

This kind of proactive thinking also applies to life. I will prepare systematically for both daily decisions and major challenges. Taking mountaineering as an example, the first step is to conduct in-depth research on the seasonal characteristics, geographical environment, and potential risks of the target mountain peak. regardingThe selection of professional equipment is crucial for the 8000 meter peak, from cold clothing to oxygen systems, which require top-notch configurations. More importantly, high-altitude climbing cannot be done alone and must be accomplished through professional exploration companies. These institutions not only provide key information such as seasonal windows, route planning, and equipment lists, but also establish a security system that includes Sherpa collaboration, medical rescue, and meteorological monitoring.

The standardized operation of exploration companies greatly enhances climbing safety. They will adjust the topping strategy based on real-time data, teach glacier walking skills and emergency response methods. It is this systematic preparation that allows climbers to maintain calm judgment in the event of unexpected situations. Just like important decisions in life, adequate preparation in advance can not only reduce risks, but also provide confidence in solving problems when unexpected situations arise. The most profound lesson that mountaineering teaches us may be that true courage comes from a clear understanding of danger and careful handling.

Every time you encounter difficulties, what kind of strength makes you believe that you will definitely succeed,What supports your beliefs?
 Xia Boyu：Climbing is the simplest hobby for me, a belief engraved in my bones. Can we climb to the top of the mountain in this lifetime? I don't know, and I don't want to think about it. Five attempts to summit Mount Everest, encountering avalanches, blizzards, and earthquakes, but the thought of giving up? Never before.

I am very clear in my heart: it's normal not to be able to board. Those who can climb to the top, who didn't bet their luck with God?

peakMaybe never open that door for me, but I still knock on it every year. The tent has collapsed under the snow, supplies have been swept away by the ice, and scars on my face that will never disappear from the cold. But as long as I can still breathe, I will come back next year. The mountain is there, I'm on the road, that's enough.

nowThere are some that are not lackingThe so-called successful individuals,thinkas long asStrong financial resources,canGo conquerVarious peaks，Do you think it's worth considering the idea of being able to climb to the top even when being lifted?
 Xia Boyu：Such rumors in the community actually expose cognitive biases. Climbing is not a child's play, and Mount Everest is not an amusement park. Imagine at an altitude of 8000 meters, the air is thin, and every step is like carrying a thousand tons of weight. The guide still needs to make every effort to move forward, how can they spare any effort to lift people?

Some people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the essence of mountaineering and apply the theory of money being everything to extreme sports. Little did they know that mountaineers need to fight against heaven and earth with their flesh and blood, and break through their limits with their tenacious will.Some people take the founder of a certain group as an example, but in fact, heTwice reaching the summitMount EverestAll based on their true abilities, their abundant physical fitness and strong adaptability are incomparable to ordinary people.

heBeing able to succeed twice is not the result of piling up money, but rather decades of systematic training, precise control of high altitude sickness, and a profound reverence for the laws of nature.

  In this era,The standard of living has improved, and people are also concerned about their health. Whenever they have free time, they want to go out and get close to nature, which is a good thing, but it must be based on an understanding and reverence for nature. Nature is not a playground, it hides unexpected dangers.

So before departure, it is necessary to do a good job of ideological construction——Don't try to show off your abilities consciously, don't be lazy in terms of physical fitness, and don't make do with your equipment. That's what taking responsibility for yourself is all about.

To put it simply, outdoor sports are not about following the trend, they are a dialogue between the environment and nature. You need to learn to listen to nature speak first, and then think about how to shake hands with it. Don't just focus on conquering, think more about how to coexist.

Scoring on mainstream domestic online platforms, your work 'Endless Climbing', the book is currently9.3 points, documentary 8.1 points,Have you ever thought you would receive such high praiseRecent news,You walked into the campus and shared your experiences and insights with the students,Are you hoping to pass throughWhat kind of message does your own story conveyone kindspiritQuality?

Xia Boyu：I never even thought about publishing a book.I don't think I have the ability to publish books.I have been involved in sports since I was young. At first, I played football at the sports school, and later on, I went straight to the countrymountaineeringThe team has been crawling and rolling on the sports field，at that timeMy job is to exercise.

 Now, I still do it every dayI wake up at 5 o'clock, practice my strength first, and then go to climb Xiangshan. I go there every day without hesitation. so，Sports are my life now.

Later,Beijingmunicipal Party committeeThe propaganda department organized me to give speeches across the country, with the slogan beingEntering hundreds of universities and millions of college students. The Beijing Disabled Persons' Federation organized me to visit primary and secondary schools again. Coincidentally, my story of mountaineering was also included in my elementary school textbook. I juststartI feel that if my mountaineering process and experience can provide some help and inspiration to students or those in difficult situations, then I would be particularly gratified，This is what I should do.

And I think today's teenagers lack the spirit to overcome difficulties. Last year happened to be the 90th anniversary of the Long March, and I led some primary and secondary school students to retrace the Long March route, hoping to let them inherit the spirit of the Red Army and let them know that our current life is hard won and full of difficulties.

We went to Jiajin Mountain, the first snow mountain crossed by the Red Army. For students, the inspiration is particularly great. I think in the future, it is necessary to regularly organize activities for young people to retrace the Long March, so that they can learn more about the story of the Red Army's Long March and inherit the spirit of the Long March. This will definitely benefit them.

 From a physical perspective, this is also a kind of training that can strengthen the body; In terms of willpower, although they may feellong wayBut in reality, everyone canPersist in completing the entire journeyThis experience also enhances their resilience in terms of future thinking.
in the futureYour life and workcenter of gravity，canPut it onwhichone side?Is there anyPlan to shoot something similar again《Endless Climbing》Such documentaries, or continuing to write books？
 Xia Boyu：I love climbing, and in the future, I plan to continue challenging and climbingThe highest peak on 7 continents, we also need to explore the North and South Poles. And I plan to organize more students to retrace the Long March, so that they can have a deeper understanding of the entire process of the Red Army's Long March and inherit the spirit of the Red Army.

I plan to continue writing about the book. I plan to add some experiences after climbing Mount Everest. As for movies, if possible, I would like toagainMake a documentary. However, these are just ideas, and the plan and implementation have not yet been finalized.

Now these things are all being prepared because I have a team, and these people in the team are planning these things, such as continuing to publish books, continuing to make documentaries, and so on. I also hope that these plans can be successfully implemented.
