Liu Jian said that there is actually a lot of effort behind the climb.
"I remember the faces of the climbers with oxygen cylinders, and the flute girl standing ......in the vast snow," Liu Jian recalled, "In 2017, Liu Suibin, the 36th generation head of the Qingcheng faction, climbed to the top of Siguniang Mountain, and at a temperature of -2 °C, he took off his professional mountaineering equipment, changed into a white coat, and his long gray hair and beautiful hair were on the sea of clouds and surrounded by peaks, pushing his hands to move, and bringing Tai Chi to the extreme place at an altitude of 5,025 meters for the first time. ”

"The meaning of climbing is really not something that can be understood by just talking, but really having to come out step by step. Zhou Peng introduced that he participated in the event of climbing for love for the first time in 2019.
He recalls that as the altitude gradually increased, the ground under his feet slowly turned into gravel and then into boulder cliffs. In his ears, he was originally shuttling through the jungle with insects and birds, and then climbing up could only hear the mournful whistling wind, and in the end, he was accompanied only by the violent wheezing and pounding heartbeat brought by altitude sickness.
Zhou Peng followed the group, cheered each other on, went hand in hand, all the way through the thorns and thorns, crossed the snow line and the valley, and finally reached the top.
"It was an unforgettable experience, we cheered at the top of the mountain, we looked into the distance, we breathed a lot, and it was a moment that I will remember for a long time. ”
Zhou Peng shared that it was then that he personally felt the meaning of climbing for love, and with each step he climbed, he could raise an extra yuan for charity, which could allow more people in the dark to see the light again...... That sense of accomplishment and pride was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.
