Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, welcomes the challenges of countless dreamers every year, but every year many explorers lie in the snowy mountains, even healthy young people, without professional training, do not dare to easily conquer this snowy plateau. Two years ago, in the hit movie "The Climber", Hu Ge played a mountaineer named Yang Guang. Without hesitation, he cut off half of his sleeping bag and put it on the female doctor's leg, resulting in frostbite on his right leg and amputation. In reality, the prototype of this Yang Guang is the climbing hero - Xia Boyu.
He is the first person in China to climb Mount Everest without legs! Xia Boyu, who is nearly 70 years old, conquered Mount Everest with his own efforts and composed the miracle of life with his own strength. The movie "Endless Climb" will be released on December 3, telling the touching story of the hardcore uncle who successfully climbed Mount Everest by prosthetic limbs.
In the early stage, the film's roadshows in various places were well received, many people were touched by Xia Boyu's lifelong spirit of climbing, and many viewers were inspired by the film and ignited a new fighting spirit for the difficulties they faced. Some people say that after watching the movie, they know the real appearance of Mount Everest, and only then do they know the difficulty of climbing Mount Everest.
In 1975, Boyu joined the Chinese mountaineering team, and while climbing Everest, he was amputated due to frostbite due to helping his teammates, but he did not give up his dream of climbing Everest. Since then, he has experienced cancer, blood clots, and decades of training. Leg amputation, lymphoma, lower limb thrombosis, how did hard-core uncle Xia Boyu do five times to impact Mount Everest and successfully reach the top in the last time?
Lymphoma can be said to be a very serious disease, the reason why Xia Boyu suffered from lymphoma, and long-term weight training, due to the wearing of prosthetics training, the skin at the joint for a long time wear, rupture, can not be healed at all, long-term non-healing wounds are easy to cancer, when he found that the groin lymphadenopathy, found the problem. Examination results show lymph node metastases. For such malignant tumors, according to the medical technology at that time in 1993, the main treatment methods were systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. Many people talk about chemoradiation therapy discoloration, but Xia Boyu rides his bicycle to the hospital every day to do radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Long-term physical training has created his strong physique, coupled with his inner mountaineering belief and positive optimism, he successfully completed all the treatments and did not relapse for decades.
After the fourth impact on Mount Everest in 2016, Xia Boyu felt extreme discomfort in his body, and his left lower limb appeared obviously swollen, and he went to the hospital for a B ultrasound examination to find venous thrombosis in his lower limb. Slow blood flow, vascular endothelial damage, and hypercoagulability are the three major mechanisms of venous thrombosis in the lower extremities, and the venous thrombosis of the lower extremities is often unilateral and rarely bilateral. Venous thrombosis in Xia Boyu's lower extremities is closely related to cold stimulation and alpine hypoxia. Xia Boyu received thrombolytic therapy in time, but he was also banned by the doctor and could not climb the mountain again, because the recurrence rate of thrombosis in the lower limbs was very high, and mountaineering would inevitably aggravate the condition of thrombosis, and high-intensity exercise may induce embolism to fall off, resulting in pulmonary embolism, which is very dangerous. Clinically, for patients with unstable venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, it is necessary to intervene to place an intravascular filter, or to remove the embolism under surgery, the purpose is to prevent the embolism of the embolism of the embolism and life-threatening, and some patients need long-term oral anticoagulant drugs such as rivaroxaban to prevent thrombosis recurrence.
However, it is gratifying that in 2018, doctors found that new small blood vessels grew next to his blood vessels blocked by blood clots, so they agreed to his request to continue climbing, but the doctor's advice was to keep warm and drink more water. With faith and perseverance, Xia Boyu was finally accepted by Mount Everest on May 14, 2018, and successfully reached the summit at the age of 69. This made him the first person in China to climb Everest without legs, and it was also the Chinese to win the Laureus World Sports Award for The Best Sporting Moment of the Year after Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, the Chinese Olympic team and Li Na.
Wang Guozhen said in "Mountains High and Far Away" that there is no mountain higher than a person, and there is no road longer than a foot. Teacher Xia Boyu has profoundly interpreted the connotation of this sentence with his life. The road to success is always obstacle and long, but as long as there is strength in the heart, the height and distance of life must be in our own hands, and the movie "Endless Climbing" is more like a good medicine for the heart.
