1960, China and Nepal were deadlocked over the ownership of Mount Everest, and the Jedi on the northern slope of China planted a five-star red flag on the summit.

Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, is located in the Himalayas at the junction of China and Nepal.

On February 8, 2020, at 65438, the ever-growing Mount Everest once again set a new world height of 8848.86 meters. This time, the data was released by both China and Nepal. So which side does Mount Everest belong to?

Mount Everest has belonged to China since ancient times, and most countries in the world have no objection.

However, Nepal does not agree with this statement.

1On May 29th, 953, a great feat was recorded in the history of human conquest of nature-climbing Mount Qomolangma, the peak closest to the sun that human first conquered.

A Nepalese, tenzing norgay and a well-known mountaineer from New Zealand represented mankind in conquering Mount Everest, so it is natural for Nepalese to regard Mount Everest as their own territory.

For Tibetan residents who have lived on the edge of Mount Everest for generations, Mount Everest has an important and unique symbolic significance. After the discovery of this sacred Mount Everest, Tibetans called it "Mount Everest".

After several generations of inheritance, Mount Everest has become a sacred belief in the hearts of Tibetan people.

Nepalese residents living on the other side of Mount Qomolangma believe that Mount Qomolangma is soaring into the sky and unattainable, and named it "sagar Mata Peak".

The Chinese and Nepalese people have special feelings for Mount Everest. Mount Qomolangma also occupies a very important position on the border issue between China and Nepal.

From 65438 to 0955, China and Nepal established diplomatic relations, and the ownership of Mount Everest also entered the agenda of the two countries. Then in September 1959, Nepal took the lead in sending a delegation to Beijing, and the two countries talked about the ownership of Mount Everest for the first time.

Today's China-Nepal border map

Facing the Nepalese delegation to Beijing, Premier Zhou made it clear that although there is no clear border between China and Nepal, there is a common border between China and Nepal, that is, Mount Everest. Before the demarcation of the boundary line, China and Nepal maintained this customary line with protection, and they lived in friendship and exchanged on an equal footing.

The Nepalese delegation did not make a clear statement on Premier Zhou's statement.

1960 March 15, Nepalese Prime Minister koirala visited China to discuss the border issue with us. During the talks, Nepal always believed that Mount Everest belonged to them.

Premier Zhou pointed out: "Mount Qomolangma is said to belong to China, and it is well-founded in our country, but it is said to belong to Nepal, but it is groundless. Mount Qomolangma is a world-famous mountain, and its significance to the residents of the two countries is also special. The issue of attribution must take into account national feelings. "

Premier Zhou's statement that Mount Everest belongs to China is not groundless. In fact, as early as 1258, there was a record of Mount Everest in the lotus relics unearthed in Chazong, Yalong River, which Tibetan monks called "Lachi".

During the reign of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty sent people to survey and map the surrounding area of Mount Everest, and finally recorded the obtained data. The imperial panorama finally marked the exact location of Mount Everest, and its existence just proved that Mount Everest belongs to the territory of China.

Three days later, when Chairman Mao met with Premier koirala, he also talked about the issue of "Everest". Chairman Mao said: "If all the peaks are allocated to Nepal, we will have a hard time emotionally. If you give it all to us, your feelings will not pass. "

Chairman Mao's solution is to divide Mount Everest into two parts, the southern part belongs to Nepalese and the northern part belongs to China.

Koirala's duality in solving the problem of "Mount Everest" makes the ownership of "Mount Everest" face difficulties again. Subsequently, the Nigerian side also raised a provocative question: Have you China people ever climbed Mount Everest? He has never climbed Mount Everest. Why do you say he is from China?

Maybe when Nepalese said this, they didn't expect China people to stand on the top of Mount Everest in the near future.

China's plan to climb Mount Everest has been prepared for some time.

On March 1960 19, the China Dengfeng team successfully arrived at the base camp selected by the previous investigation team. Since then, the action of climbing Everest has begun.

In this mountaineering team, the average age of members is only in their early twenties. Among them, there are more than a dozen staff with professional knowledge. They had worked in the mountains for more than a year before climbing the mountain formally.

For hundreds of days, these respectable workers have worked hard and collected meteorological data in areas where the oxygen content is only half that of the plain.

Every few hours, they need to go out in bad weather and record the data of outdoor blinds. They live an isolated life every day, only to provide the most reliable and accurate weather forecast for the mountaineering work of large troops.

At an altitude of 6000 meters, even at noon, it is only MINUS 20 degrees Celsius, and it will drop to MINUS 30 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.

However, Weng Qingzhang, head of the medical team of the Everest mountaineering team, recalled that even in the extremely harsh environment at that time, no one complained and felt bitter, because everyone's goal was the same, and everything they did was just to conquer the highest mountain in the world and let the five-star red flag fly on the top of the mountain!

On the 24th, at the base camp, Shi Zhanchun and his team members made a detailed summit plan. According to the experience of many previous summits, the team members agreed that there should be three adaptive marches before the official assault summit.

On the one hand, it is to let the team members adapt to the harsh environment on Mount Everest in advance, and on the other hand, it is necessary to set up alpine camps along the way in advance to carry the necessities brought by the official climbing of Mount Everest in the later period.

The next day, as predicted by the team's meteorologists, the snowstorm stopped for a long time, and the Everest mountaineering team ushered in the first good weather suitable for mountaineering.

On the same day, the mountaineering team raised a five-star red flag at the base camp. Subsequently, the team members were armed to the teeth and excitedly advanced to Mount Everest.

On the evening of the 27th, the climbers arrived safely at the first mountaineering camp at an altitude of 6,400 meters. After a night of dressing up, most of the players returned to the base camp as planned.

However, the investigation team led by Xu Jing, the vice captain, will continue to climb to the top, because they want to help their teammates get rid of the first difficulty-the Obey route ahead of time.

The northern depression is steep, and there are huge avalanches almost every year. However, this dangerous area is the only way to climb Mount Everest.

The next day, Xu Jing's reconnaissance team set foot on the ice slope and headed for the North Depression. In order to prevent falling from the ice slope, Xu Jing tied the players firmly to her body with a nylon rope she carried with her and climbed up carefully.

It was not until dusk that the members of the investigation team reached the top of the northern depression and completed the task of clearing the way. Before the second March, Xu Jing and the investigation team set out in front of the big troops again. After the road was opened to traffic, the whole route of Aobei became much smoother.

After the second adaptive March, 40 of the 77 athletes sent by China Mountaineering Team successfully climbed to the top of the 7007-meter North Depression, which set an unprecedented record.

On April 25, the mountaineering team sent 55 climbers again and began the third adaptive March. With the last experience, it took the team members only a few days to climb the Obei this time.

Four days later, at noon, just as the team members were marching along the route, the clouds above Beiao were still very light and the sky was clear. I don't want to blow a snowstorm in the blink of an eye. The players were defenseless and could only crawl on the ground and were barely blown away by the strong wind.

Some players tried to set up a tent to keep out the wind, but before the tent was opened, the strong wind almost blew him down the mountain.

At this point, the team member Liu Lianman accidentally found an ice crack that could stand people, and quickly called everyone to hide in it, barely surviving the most violent part of the storm.

After the completion of the third adaptive mountain entry, although the scheduled plan was completed, the operation lost a lot.

After the examination of the members of the medical team, it was found that all 34 members had frostbite to varying degrees, and most of them were the main personnel of this operation.

This news made the high-spirited mountaineering team fall into a state of depression from the beginning of entering the mountain. Everyone can't help but wonder, is the plan to climb Mount Everest, which has been prepared for such a long time, just beginning and will be interrupted here?

After understanding the current situation of the mountaineering team, Premier Zhou instructed: "Cheer up, reorganize the new forces and launch an impact on the peak." Then, Vice Premier He Long also issued a firm new order: "Rush up again at all costs, even if there is only one person left in the end, you must board!"

At this time, China and Nepal are negotiating on Mount Everest. In this context, members of the Zhu Feng mountaineering team can't help cheering up. Invisibly, the members shoulder a solemn national mission.

Half a month later, four mountain commandos set out with a broken stone statue of Chairman Mao and a five-star red flag.

Before leaving, Wang Fuzhou went to the infirmary and said to Weng Qingzhang, "Old man, I'm throwing caution to the wind this time. If I can't climb Mount Everest, I won't come back. "

After many difficulties, Wang Fuzhou and his party appeared in the middle and upper part of the last difficult "second step". The rock wall of the second step is four meters high and almost vertical.

Liu Lianman tried his best to climb up. Later, Qu and Kampot tried several times, and the result was still the same. At this time, Liu Lianman, a former fireman, thought of a wonderful way-to build a ladder.

He squatted on the ground floor and let his teammates step on him, climbing up bit by bit. Finally, Qu slipped and couldn't get up, so she took off all the warm-keeping appliances on her feet. The whole process was just over an hour, and his toes were completely frozen and necrotic and had to be removed.

1On the night of May 24, 960, three vague black figures groped forward under the cover of darkness until Wang Fuzhou said, "Have you arrived yet?" Kampot said: "It should be here, and there is no way to go on."

In this way, the three men took out the five-star red flag and the bust plaster statue of Chairman Mao with excitement, and then put them in the rubble pile under the peak to shelter from the wind.

China successfully climbed Mount Everest! But it also comes from the northern slope, which is steeper and more dangerous than the southern slope. This news shocked the world, and also left the Nepalese who grasped the problem that China had never climbed Mount Everest speechless.

Later, there was a final answer about the ownership of Mount Everest: the north side of Mount Everest was owned by China, and the south side was owned by Nepalese.

So far, China and Nepal have maintained peaceful and friendly relations. It can be said that Mount Qomolangma has become a bridge of friendship between the two countries, bringing Sino-Nepalese friendship to a new height.

Finally, I want to say that China loves peace. But in the face of right and wrong, we are never vague. We will prove with actions that there is no insurmountable suffering for the people of China!
