[Explanation] The majestic and beautiful Lushan Mountain has attracted many mountaineering enthusiasts.

On March 13, Xia Boyu, a 74-year-old famous Chinese mountaineer known as the "legless warrior", climbed hard with 16 teammates from the Lushan Xiaoyun Mountaineering Base of the Jiangxi Mountaineering Association, relying on prosthetic limbs and two trekking poles. After an hour and a half, without assistance or assistance, he climbed to the top of Lushan Taiyi Peak at an altitude of 1312 meters for the first time.

　　This is the first time I climbed Taiyi Peak (Mount Lushan), and the scenery of Mount Lushan is really beautiful.

When you stand on Taiyi Peak and look down, you can see that the mountains are full of pine trees. It is indeed much better than I imagined. It is indeed a worthwhile trip today.

　　[Explanation] There is no road longer than feet, and no mountain higher than people.

Xia Boyu was selected into the national mountaineering team in 1974. When he climbed Mount Everest in 1975, he lost his legs due to severe frostbite because he gave up his sleeping bag to his teammates. Since then, he has climbed to the peak many times from 2014 to 2016, all of which were lost due to avalanches, earthquakes and other reasons. The chance of the top, the closest time to the top is even only 94 meters away.

In 2018, Xia Boyu remained determined and challenged again, and finally climbed to the top of Mount Everest at 8,848 meters. However, he once said that it was not that he conquered Mount Everest, but that Mount Everest accepted him.

Xia Boyu also expressed in an interview with reporters that he hoped people would understand the real climbing spirit.

　　The spirit of a climber is a spirit that is not afraid of difficulties, always moving forward and always upward.

The spirit of climbers is also a spirit of the development of our motherland.

Because I am the same age as the Republic of China, I have grown from a poor and white motherland to a prosperous and strong motherland from the beginning. It is this kind of climbing spirit that is not afraid of difficulties, overcomes all difficulties, and builds our strong motherland.

　　[Explanation] Xia Boyu, 74 years old this year, still has new plans. He wants to climb the highest peaks on the seven continents and reach the north and south poles on foot in the next few years. Stick to his climbing spirit, never give up under any circumstances, and move forward bravely.
