In 1960, the Nepalese side proposed: Chinese has never climbed Mount Everest, so why should it be said that it belongs to China? On the ownership of Mount Everest, China is not yet qualified to talk with Nepal.
Nepal dared to be so arrogant because on May 29, 1953, Nepalese climbers took the lead in reaching the summit of Mount Everest from the south slope, and since then Nepal has unilaterally declared full sovereignty over Mount Everest.
Due to many internal and external factors at that time, some Western national media also recognized that Mount Everest belonged to Nepal because of Nepal's successful climb to the summit, so that at that time the world once thought that Mount Everest did not belong to the mainland.
On the sovereignty of Mount Everest, the mainland has actually gone through a series of negotiations. But before I unravel the answer to this question, I think
Please look at some of the stories of Mount Everest.
Nepal unilaterally declares that the summit of Mount Everest belongs to Nepal
After the end of World War II, the war around the world slowly subsided, the lives of the residents tended to be stable, and extreme sports were ignited again.
In 1953, a New Zealander named Edmund Hillary challenged Mount Everest again, and after several failed experiences, he deliberately found a 37-year-old Sherpasin Nogi.
The two set off from the south slope, and after a rough ride, they finally reached the summit of Mount Everest at 11:00 a.m. on May 29, 1953.
At that time, the mainland was in a stage of being rebuilt, and Mount Everest was located between the mainland and Nepal, and it was reasonable to say that a part of Mount Everest must also belong to the mainland, and the specific border needed to be negotiated between the two sides.
However, after Edmund Hillary and Tenzin Nogi reached the summit of Mount Everest, because Tenzin Nogi was a Nepalese, Nepal unilaterally declared that the summit of Mount Everest belonged to Nepal, and some countries with ulterior motives also began to hype it.
The reason given by Nepal is "You have never reached the summit of Mount Everest, so why do you say that the summit belongs to you?" ”
In this context, the mainland began to form its own mountaineering team, selecting suitable mountaineering team members from all walks of life in the country, and finally selecting dozens of mountaineering teams.
There are two main routes to the summit of Mount Everest, one on the southern slope belonging to Nepal and the other on the northern slope in mainland Territory. The slope of CSG is gentler and the climbing is easier, while the environment on the north slope is harsh, and no one has ever completed the history of climbing the top on the north slope before this.
There is even a lot of hype in foreign media: even birds can't fly over the north slope of Mount Everest.
Due to the harsh environment, some of the mainland mountaineers' toes were frozen, some of their arms were frostbitten, and some of their noses were frozen, and finally only Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, Kampot and Liu Lianman were left to sprint to the summit.
Due to the simple mountaineering equipment at that time and the small number of supply points, at the time of the final ascent, Liu Lianman was already exhausted and could no longer climb up, and finally he decided to let 3 teammates re-climb, while he remained in the death zone above 8,000 meters above sea level, only 140 meters from the summit at this time.
It was precisely because of their successful climb that the mainland took the initiative in the subsequent negotiations, and since then the north of Mount Everest has been internationally recognized as belonging to the mainland.
It can be said that every cent of the mainland's land is earned back by these national soldiers.
Finally, the young Chinese mountaineering team overcame all odds to reach the summit on the north slope on May 25, 1960, remembering the names of four people, who were Wang Fuzhou, Qu Yinhua, Kampot and Liu Lianman, creating the feat of climbing from the north slope to the world's first peak for the first time in human history.
Why are more and more people climbing Everest now.
Because climbing Everest is a very meaningful challenge and a very dangerous activity, there are still many people who set it as the ultimate challenge goal in life.
Mount Everest is one of the highest peaks in the world, covered with ice and snow all year round, because the altitude is too high, the oxygen in the air is very thin, and at a certain height, there will be a serious lack of oxygen. In addition, it is necessary to face bad weather, such as strong winds and avalanches with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, which is a great test for every climber, in addition to having good physical fitness, the most important thing is to have a very strong willpower. Climbing in such a sinister environment, some people are out of hobbies, some people regard climbing as a profession, and some of them are to enhance their influence, and even climb Everest as a capital to show off, so there are more and more people climbing Everest.
