I have watched the movie "The Climber" several times, and the more I watch it, the more I feel powerful. Those climbers bring the audience in addition to motivation and excitement, they use their lives to climb, conquer nature and temper their hearts. It can be said that every climber is a hero, however, there are many heroes who did not reach the top.
In the film, Hu Ge played such a mountaineer Yang Guang, who withdrew from the summit plan because he gave up his sleeping bag to his teammates during the climb and was frostbitten and his legs were injured. He bid farewell to his dream of reaching the summit with unwilling tears, but his story was far from over.
Yang Guang's prototype is China's mountaineer Xia Boyu, who never gave up his dream for more than 40 years after his injury, and with amazing will and unremitting training, he finally successfully climbed Mount Everest at the age of 69. He wrote his climbing experience and life story into his autobiography " Endless Climbing "Endless Climb".
When I read this book, I was once again deeply touched by the tenacious spirit of climbing.
Xia Boyu has loved sports since he was a child, and the first thing he did when he came home every day when he went to school was to play football. Because of his good physical fitness, he was also selected as a mountaineer.
After the 25-year-old Xia Boyu followed their climbing team to see Mount Everest for the first time, he was completely conquered by the mysterious and majestic mountain. Everyone had an indescribable excitement, thinking about what a feat it would be to be able to reach the top.
However, mountaineering is an extreme challenge, which is a great test of people's physical fitness and willpower, and the difficulty of climbing Mount Everest is unimaginable to ordinary people. Audiences who have watched the film know that the climate and topography of Mount Everest are extremely complex, and the team members are climbing with their lives.
What impressed me most was their difficulty in crossing the North Pass and the Great Winds, and if they were not careful, they risked falling into the abyss. They had to climb ladders set up on ice cracks, and beneath their feet were bottomless cracks in the ice. If you catch the strong winds on the plateau, you will be blown off the cliff with equipment.
Under extremely low temperature conditions, it is difficult to survive, not to mention the danger of being swallowed up by disasters such as avalanches and strong winds from time to time, which is not only an extreme challenge to people's body, but also a great test of people's will.
But no matter how many difficulties and risks there are, the players will not give up, will not back down, they will pair up, help each other, and keep moving forward in order to reach the end of the victory collectively. Some people say that why they risk losing their lives at any time to climb is because they already have that mountain in their hearts, and their faith is on the top of the mountain.
They enjoy the sense of accomplishment after crossing the challenge, they are more motivated after exercising their bodies and tempering their will, and they also find the meaning of life.
Therefore, if you find your dream, you will have a direction to move forward, and no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will try to overcome them. People with dreams will be cool, and they will walk the road to their dreams all their lives.
On the way to climb Mount Everest for the first time, one of Xia Boyu's teammates fell off a cliff due to lack of physical strength and a backpack along with a sleeping bag. At night, he gave his sleeping bag to his teammates, resulting in frostbite on both legs leading to amputation.
Later, the moment I saw the team members successfully reach the top on TV, Xia Boyu was lying in the hospital. He is happy for the players and regrets for himself.
After suffering a heavy blow to his body, Xia Boyu was once depressed and miserable, and he could not imagine that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair in his 20s.
However, he still did not give up his dream of climbing, he continued to participate in sports with a non-giving attitude, and has participated in many sports and won many medals in the Para games.
After retiring from the army, Xia Boyu made a detailed mountaineering training plan for himself. Every morning at five o'clock, I get up for an hour and a half of strength and physical training, in addition to playing table tennis, and going to Dengxiang Mountain every week. After unremitting exercise, he maintained relatively good strength and physical fitness.
The physical pain and limitations did not stop Xia Boyu from pursuing his dreams, he did not think about the weight of his difficulties, but to find ways to solve one problem after another.
In Living the Meaning of Life, author Victor Frankl was able to survive in the Nazi camp of hell on earth by virtue of a great passion for life. With this enthusiasm, we can all create myths, so I was deeply touched by Mr. Xia Boyu's enthusiasm.
For ordinary people, it is difficult for us to empathize with other people's stories, but we will all have similar experiences, for example, after illness or difficulties, we will understand how precious a person's spiritual support is.
How strong does it take to overcome illness and physical defects? It is precisely because of his dedication to his dreams and his non-abandonment that he has overcome one ordeal after another and approached his dreams little by little.
For normal people, climbing Mount Everest means the limit that the body cannot bear, and he is old and wears a prosthetic leg, and the danger is imaginable.
When climbing the ladder, others are keeping their bodies upward, but the prosthesis does not have an ankle joint, and when climbing the ladder, the body center of gravity is backwards, and he must use the force of his hand to pull the body forward to keep the body parallel to the ladder and then pedal the legs hard. In the process of various climbs, he has to spend more time than others and consume more physical energy.
In addition to these, every time you walk the mountain, you have to endure the pain caused by the long-term contact friction between the legs and the prosthesis, and sometimes you have to endure the stinging pain of a pinprick when you take one step. The first thing to do every time you arrive at camp is to look at the wounds in your legs and take medication to help you recover.
And the reason why he endured many times more pain than ordinary people was because of true love. Mr. Xia Boyu said, "If you really love it, you will not give up because of fear." ”
I believe that inspired by the spirit of climbers, we will also be more clear about our goals in life. In a sense, each of us is a climber, there will be gaps and challenges along the way to the dream of climbing, but what we need is to face it calmly, keep the original intention, and keep the pace.
The spirit of climbing can make us more determined to dream, but also the wealth of everyone on the road to growth, the following tips to share with you:
(1) Down-to-earth
No one can succeed casually, and we can't climb to the top of the mountain in one step, and we always have to take each step well to get closer to the top. No matter how high and far your goal is, as long as you don't give up and take every step of your feet, you will get closer and closer to the peak.
(2) Exercise well
Whatever we want to achieve, we need to have good physical fitness. Although we are not all engaged in climbing adventure sports, the body is the capital of all revolutions. With a healthy body, you have the freedom to do what you love.
(3) Don't give up at any time
Human life is so small in nature, but it can perform miracles by will. As long as you don't give up, you have the possibility of success, and you can believe that you can do it.
(4) Be grateful for everything in life
Everyone's strength alone is very limited, and we want to make our own achievements without the support and help of others, and also without the love and encouragement of our families.
After facing the test of life and death, people can often see through all the troubles of the world, because living is the greatest hope. Therefore, we must learn to be grateful, grateful for life, grateful for love.
Everyone's journey is a climb. What we care about is not only the glory and joy of the finish line, but also the self-growth in the process of climbing.
Whether you are encountering difficulties or enjoying ease, whether you are a fearless young man or a self-pitying middle-aged man, I believe that you can get strength from this "Endless Climb".
Wang Shi said that life is like the process of climbing a mountain, which is a kind of dissatisfaction with the status quo, a kind of curiosity, and a kind of exploration of the future. Each of our lives is like climbing a mountain, may we be able to continue to trial and error in growth, not afraid of difficulties, constantly challenge ourselves, surpass ourselves, and climb the peaks of life.
