Xia Bojun: He is 68 years old, has no legs, but climbed Mount Everest five times!

Ono: Do ​​you want to climb Mount Everest again in 2018?

Teacher Xia: I still feel a little regrettable. This year, my physical strength can go up in all aspects, that is, the weather, so I still want to try it again. I always remember this thing.
After getting down the leg last year, he got a thrombosis. The doctor said it was due to mountaineering. Let me divert instead of mountaineering. The amount of mountaineering is too high. However, I just wanted to go mountain climbing. In the second half of August, I am going to board the Qinghai-Yuzhu Peak. Look at how the legs are and what the reaction is, and then conduct a comprehensive inspection. If you can, then go to Mount Everest again next year.
The person who said this is already 68 years old this year. If you don't tell you, you will never think that the prosthetic leg is used when you walk sensitively.




Xia Bojun, born in 1949, is a Chinese disabled mountaineer.
Forty-two years ago, he participated in the recruitment of the national mountaineering team with a “free body check” attitude. With excellent physical fitness, he unexpectedly became a member of the national mountaineering team and was ready to perform the 1975 climb of Mount Everest. Task.
“In fact, at that time, I knew nothing about Everest. Everest is a geographical location. I learned it in a geography book, 8848. To me, it's just a series of numbers. There is no concept. It's free to check my body, and I'm very strict with the checkup. Except for physical fitness, my heart and lung function are checked. I want to grow so big. I have never checked my body or checked it for free.




At that time, he was a 26-year-old young man who inherited his father's good genes. He was a sports enthusiast since he was a child. He is an avid football fan. "I didn't expect to pick me up. I think after finishing this mountain, I wouldn't do it. I would still go back and play football. I was thinking that wherever I go when climbing, I can be injured. I just can't hurt my feet. I have football in my life. I can't live without football for my entire life."
Destiny is always beyond the imagination of human beings. On the way to the summit, a Tibetan teammate of his peers is overstretched and has lost his own backpack. Xia Bojun, who has always been known as the "God of Fire," generously gave his sleeping bag to a teammate who had lost his equipment. When he was tired, he slept at high altitude without a sleeping bag. He got up early and did not feel any discomfort. He also walked himself to the camp of 6500m.
It was not until the next day that he realized that he had no consciousness and he was taken from the camp at 6,500m to the Everest base camp. "When my feet weren't there, and my color changed, I became purple, and I I think I'm sure I can't." Xia Bo's feet turned from pink to purple and then to black. He knew that he had to amputate himself.




Xia said that many people asked him if he regretted it. He said, “The situation at the time did not allow you to think about it. The response to that situation was how to save him. How to help him, did not expect to help him, what would happen to me? I want to think of helping him to freeze my feet. I would hesitate to give him a sleeping bag. I still have to think about it. Now I think sometimes I feel sad and sometimes I feel bad."
From a national mountaineer to truncated feet becoming disabled, Xia Boyun is desperate. He repeatedly thought that "what people have to do when they are alive, have goals in life, and now they have lost their limbs. What else can I do? Where is my goal?"




During that climb, Xia Boxi experienced the adventure and excitement of climbing, which was in perfect harmony with his young heart, which gave him a new understanding of mountaineering and loved the sport. And a foreign prosthetic expert told him that as long as he takes a prosthetic arm he can go back to daily walking and even go mountain climbing. "I think there are such good things, but also in mountaineering, and just like that, going to Everest has become my dream and a goal."
However, in the same year, the development of the "hardware facilities" of prosthetic limbs was still very early. "At first, there was a wooden board underneath, two iron bars on the shelf, and a leather on it. After putting it in, the whole load was on the broken soles. The stump on my legs only had a thin layer of skin. It is difficult to heal after being worn out and you have to go to hospital again.”
From the beginning, it was difficult to walk the board prosthesis to walk, to the later glass steel, to the current silicone, carbon fiber and titanium alloy, he laughed that he witnessed the whole process of the development of China's artificial limbs. Gradually, Xia Bobo also walks from being able to walk to the normal disability movement to climbing the mountain. He said that because of his dream, he did not stop exercising every day, but this process was extremely hard.




Until 2011, Xia Boxi participated in the first World Championship for the Disabled Persons in Italy held in Italy. He took the heaviest two gold medals in his sports career with the attitude of participation. At that time he was 60 years old and was also the rock climbing competition. Facilitated the development of a more targeted mountaineering training program.
In 2015, he accepted an invitation from CCTV's "Impossible Impossible" column and took a prosthetic leg to challenge rock climbing on the spot. He said in the program: "I will go to Mount Everest tomorrow. In 40 years, I have climbed Everest again and it is my struggle. Goal, I will never give up."
Many people think this is just a rhetoric on the show. After all, he was 66 years old.




Hemingway's famous novel, "The Old Man and the Sea," has this sentence: "A man is not born to defeat, you can wipe him out, but you can beat him", Xia Bojun is the real man . Forty years of Everest dream, he used strong, optimistic and persevering against the sudden changes in life and the vicissitudes of life.
When he was done, he really went. Just 95 meters away from the top, the wind blew violently. The snow on the mountain beam blew through the sky, and the climate change was unusually rapid. His foothills were only twenty. Centimeters wide, both sides are abyss, seeing less than a hundred meters away from the victory, then let him give up is harder than ever.




"That was a very tempting height. At the time, if I were alone, maybe I wouldn't care about everything." And Xia Bozhen's boarding of Mount Everest was followed by five 20-year-old Sherpa guides who said at the time. The climate is quite dangerous. "A lot of people lost their minds at this time and felt that victory was in sight and they blinded their summits." For 41 years of waiting and preparation, scenes flashed through Xia Bojian's mind. He was surrounded by wind-blown ice and snow and close at hand. Everest.
“We have 6 people. The weakest is me. If I am injured, 5 of them will certainly save me at all costs. At this altitude, it is almost impossible to rescue people from the mountain. Their profession is to give people a mountaineering guide. All of them are still so young and at the peak of their careers, so when I think about it, I cannot ignore the lives of others for my own purposes."




"When I decided to go down, my pillars seemed to have suddenly disappeared, like the ball was out of breath and my physical strength was overdrawn. It was almost 24 hours before I went back to the camp and watched the lights in the camp flash, but I never walked. I feel that I am getting farther and farther, as if I was walking in the wrong direction. I feel like I couldn’t walk. I arrived at the camp at 13:00 and walked for 24 hours. It was the most I walked in my life. Hard time."
Someone also told him why he must be more than this. His answer is simple: "This is not a case of violence. It is because I have a dream in my heart. I must work hard to realize my dream!"


Many climbers visiting Dengshan now often meet Xia Bojun. He gets up at 5 o'clock every day and begins to do strength training. He goes three times a week to climb Xiangshan, relying on exercise to slow his physical decline.
Someone wrote a word for his dream-moving move, "Zambia Champions Warriors Xia Boluo": the streamer ice field is rising east and the high mountain ridges are in the clouds. From lonely snow, it was desolate and hurricane. Advancing on the earth, taking the sky and climbing up straight across the Everest. Youth is a greedy student, a happy young man!


Everest’s dream is still in his heart and the only prayer we can do is blessing
