After climbing Mount Everest, it took him four months to return to China.

Everest is the last obsession of entrepreneur Pu Aimin's life. When the trip to Mount Everest superimposed the epidemic, things became dramatic. He went through a lot of hardships to reach the top, but he almost collapsed on his way home.

In the end, his trip to Everest lasted 196 days and flew 35,000 kilometers, which may be the longest record in the history of Everest climbing.

I set out because of my obsession, and I tried my best to come back alive because of my family. I was alive at last, but I didn't come back for four months.

Life is a journey that is always accompanied by uncertainty.

On April 12, Pu Aimin set out from Shenzhen, flew from Chongqing to Kathmandu, Nepal at an altitude of 1400 meters, then flew to Lukala at an altitude of 2,800 meters by small plane, and walked along the famous EBC line for 12 days to reach the Everest base camp at an altitude of 5,500 meters.

In this process, Pu Aimin hardly rebelled and felt relaxed. "I played all the way."

Before this trip to Everest, Pu Aimin spent five years preparing. Including 20 thousand kilometers of running training, more than 600 thousand meters of climbing training, equivalent to 70 Everest, more than 600 hours of physical training. It has successively climbed Siguniang Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, Emerald Everest at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and Mustag Atta at an altitude of 7,500 meters.

Climbing to the top of Mount Everest can be considered as a challenge to self and a conquest of nature. There can be many attributives full of compulsion to modify this matter. But for climber Pu Aimin, on the way to 8848.86 meters above sea level, all his glamorous titles no longer exist. His more important preparation is to prepare for not coming back.

In other words, be prepared not to come back, and then go all out to get yourself back.

At the beginning of April, students of Peking University HSBC Business School worked as an intern for Pu Aimin, and a slogan was printed during the meeting: I wish Pu Aimin success in climbing Mount Everest. Between the flowers, Pu Aimin smiled on his face, but what he thought in his heart was: "This may be my last party with my classmates."

In the end, he tried to give up countless times, but he still persisted to the end. Pu Aimin thinks this is related to his three big dreams in life-climbing Mount Everest, going to Peking University and going to the world.

The last two dreams have come true. I studied in peking university hsbc school of business and have been to dozens of countries. Moreover, I once ran seven marathons on seven continents in seven days by running.

The most difficult dream to realize, Pu Aimin put it last. For him with a successful career and a happy family, this may be his last obsession.

Pu Aimin found many seniors, teammates and team leaders with experience in climbing Mount Everest, including Sherpa guides, and asked them about possible situations and coping strategies. These people include Yu Lianghe and Xia, a legless climber.

"It turns out that their experience has played a big role in my successful summit." What Yu Liang told him was one word: forbearance. Persistence is forbearance, and when you finally feel hopeless, go up.

While waiting for good weather at Everest base camp, climbers have to carry out necessary training programs, such as climbing ice and taking ladders.

The ladder lies flat on the ground, without danger, and it is easy to walk. Some players walked a few laps and went to rest, while Pu Aimin insisted on walking back and forth on the ladder for three hours. Finally, you can do it with your eyes closed.

It is not difficult to walk with the ladder flat on the ground, but such a ladder is placed at the first checkpoint after leaving the base camp-Khumbu Glacier. The altitude is nearly 1000m, so it is impossible to bypass. There are countless ice cracks that change shape at any time. Ice collapses happen every day, and 30% of the victims are buried here.

"I want to know how to reduce the probability of accidents when crossing the Khumbu Glacier. One is high speed, the other is traffic at night, and the third is hanging rope. There are ropes all the way to ensure safety. " However, rope also has rope problems. Every time the rope passes through a node, the hook should be removed and hung on another node. This is troublesome and consumes energy. Some people think that in order to save energy, they will not hang up. "But even if I bother again, I will hang up. Can reduce the probability of accidents. As long as you hang the rope, even if you step on it and take it off, the rope will continue and the hook will continue, and you can still be saved. "

It is located in Xiazi Wall at an altitude of six or seven kilometers, with an altitude difference of 1000 meters. Looking down, the route is visually vertical. "I can't see my head up and down." Park Aimin walked for about 10 seconds and rested for 30 seconds. He can't breathe. He lacks oxygen more than other teammates. "Because I run marathons faster, I need more oxygen."

For example, plateau physical fitness. Pu Aimin is an environmentalist. He always picks up rubbish when climbing mountains in Shenzhen. On Mount Everest, he kept this habit.

He took a photo with only a dozen plastic bags on it. I only picked up so much, not because there is less garbage on Mount Everest, but because with the elevation, I have to squat together every time I pick up garbage, which will make me extremely tired.

What makes him even more gratified is that as you can see from the photos, there are no Chinese in more than a dozen wrapping papers he found. "I just don't think it was thrown by China people."

The biggest constraint between dream and reality is family.

Before leaving, Pu Aimin was weighing the relationship between realizing his dream and family responsibilities. "I've been thinking about it, I have to think about it. This is inevitable. "

Pu Aimin has been in Shenzhen for 20 years and has a son and a daughter. He left a letter for his family. It is said to be a letter from home, but from another angle, it is actually similar to a suicide note.

In the letter from home, he confessed what he should. The most important thing is to explain to the children. He wrote down some hopes: I hope they will thrive, strive for self-improvement and never give up.

At least several times, Pu Aimin thought he might die. Until May 12, Pu Aimin, who was preparing for the Everest Base Camp, heard the news that two climbers died during the summit. He really felt that death was so close to him.

The place where death is really close to Pu Aimin is about 6200 meters above sea level. On the way from C 1 to C2, an avalanche came at him. At that moment, all he could do was lie prone on the snow.

Most people who died in avalanches were picked up by air billow and fell. Lying down is the only way. For avalanches, it is unpredictable and unpredictable, purely by luck. The avalanche in the movie came and everyone ran away. "You can't run away. How can you run past it? Besides, if you run two steps at high altitude, you can't run. You can't even walk. How can you run? "

Finally, the avalanche stopped more than 0/00 meters away from Pu Aimin/Kloc-,and for the first time in his life, he felt frustrated that he could only resign himself to fate.

"Fear and fear will not reduce the possibility of danger. What I can do is to prepare as comprehensively as possible and reduce this probability. " Pu Aimin feels that this is his necessary responsibility as a husband and father.

In the end, it was also the pictures of his family that kept flashing back in his mind, allowing him to return safely.

The last obstacle to the summit is the Hillary steps, which is named after the first climber who climbed Mount Everest. It is a narrow ridge that can only allow one person to pass, with cliffs on both sides. Located at an altitude of 8800, at the top of Mount Everest, it is within reach, but the height of tens of meters is precisely the road with the highest mortality rate.

In this last paragraph, people who climb Mount Everest have to wait in line here every year because they have to pass in turn. In previous years, the longest queue was four hours, and some people failed to reach the top because of the long queue time. There are people who are exhausted by waiting for physical exhaustion.

This year, because there were few people in the epidemic, Pu Aimin only queued for half an hour.

On the way up, Pu Aimin suddenly found a man crossing the road with his legs in the middle. "It is a mountaineering predecessor who has died for many years."

Pu Aimin said that when he saw this scene, he felt both admiration and fear. He admires him for leaving himself on the road of chasing dreams forever. What he is afraid of is that he thinks of himself again. Is it possible that he can't get down?

Standing on the top of Mount Everest, the top of the world, at that moment, Pu Aimin didn't feel that he had done anything awesome. Everyone he asked when he was studying classics said that he wouldn't feel great when he reached the top. Pu Aimin felt that their answers were not credible at that time.

At this moment, Pu Aimin breathed a sigh of relief first. "It's finally over."

Then, let the Sherpa guide take pictures of himself.

Then, he stood carefully around the small platform at the summit of Mount Everest, looked around and thought, "I have arrived here, so I must remember what it looks like here." At the same time, at that moment, he suddenly had the idea that "the whole world is under me".

It took about 10 minutes to finish the above things, and he began to withdraw.

"I have reached the top, but I have only finished half the work." Go all out up and down, Pu Aimin has only one goal in his heart: to be alive!

"Anyway, I have to live. This is my truest idea. "

On the way down, it is also very dangerous. On the ice wall of a cliff, Pu Aimin's crampons were suddenly entangled in the road rope. In an instant, people turned upside down, and then quickly fell down. Soon the descent device locked the rope and the fall stopped, but Pu Aimin was hung upside down and was rescued when the guide arrived.

There are Sherpas who transport an injured person down the mountain, and eight people can only transport one person, and they either retreat or resist. The injured man dragged the snow away.

This reminds Pu Aimin of a joke he heard before, saying that as long as he has enough money, he can invite Sherpas to Mount Everest. "Down, eight to one, can only drag, up? No amount of money is possible. "

This year, with Pu Aimin, there is also a prince from the Middle East, which is one of the richest countries in the world. There are more than a dozen bodyguards to climb Mount Everest, and the Sherpas have invited dozens, but he still has to finish it step by step.

After reaching the summit, Pu Aimin evacuated to Kathmandu on May 28th, waiting for the scheduled flight to return to China on June 6th. A few days later, he received the news that the flight was cancelled. From then on, Pu Aimin found himself in endless waiting.

The flight was rescheduled from the end of June, July and August to 65438+ 10. The last rescheduling, the flight time has been pushed to 1 1. The date of returning to China is always out of reach, and he feels that it is basically impossible to wait for a flight back to China in Kathmandu.

In Nepal, China people from other mountaineering teams flew to Egypt and said that a plane had returned from Cairo. So, on August 24th, Pu Aimin flew to Egypt.

But he can't go back to Egypt because he won't get the green code.

At this time, in his information channel, there is only one way to return home from the United States. A month later, Pu Aimin flew from Egypt to Seattle, USA.

Seattle still won't give him a green code, and the policies are different at different times and places. The requirement here is that you can't transfer from a third country to China.

After staying in the United States for a long time as required, Pu Aimin flew from Los Angeles to Guangzhou on October 3rd, 65438.

14+7 days after the isolation, 101October 24th, Pu Aimin returned to his home in Shenzhen.

At this time, it has been 196 days since he left Shenzhen and set foot on Mount Everest in April 12.

This time, it took Pu Aimin four months to go home and flew 35,000 kilometers.

When he first evacuated to Kathmandu, Pu Aimin was physically exhausted, but his spirit was extremely high. After all, he made it to the top and evacuated safely. He was very happy. At the same time, Kathmandu is also a tourist city, and the time waiting for returning to China is not lonely at all. Even if the flight on June 6 is cancelled, he doesn't think it is very important.

"I never thought it would be so difficult to return to China before, and I never thought I would stay abroad and never come back."

In Pu Aimin's view, the epidemic situation abroad is serious, and it is normal for some important domestic activities to cancel flights. After August 1 day, 1 1 day, the flight was postponed all the way, and he was still full of hope. "I will definitely be able to return to China, and there will be a plane."

After it was postponed to 1 1, he felt something was wrong. Many locals say that he may not be able to go back until the end of the year.

Pu Aimin, who dreams of seeing the world, has been to dozens of countries, but he has not gone abroad since the outbreak began in early 2020. "If I knew it was so difficult to return to China, I would consider climbing Mount Everest again next year." In fact, what Pu Aimin is experiencing at this time is the daily life of many people who are stranded overseas because of the epidemic and cannot return to China.

During his stay in Nepal and Egypt, Pu Aimin stayed in hotels, and his daily expenses ranged from 300 yuan to 500 yuan. His financial conditions are acceptable and he can work online. Pu Aimin did not feel great pressure, but during this period, he really felt the difficulties of many ordinary migrant workers.

Many of them have been away for a longer time, and some of them were abroad before the outbreak and never came back. Their own income is not high, and many of them are unemployed, so the economic pressure is quite great.

What is even more embarrassing is that the longest tourist visa in Nepal is 150 days, and you must leave the country before it expires, otherwise it will be illegal to stay. Some China people, either traveling in the past or passing through Nepal, can't leave until their visas expire, thus forming an interdependent situation.

This will face two consequences, one is deportation, and the other is fine. There is no place to be fired, only a fine of $8 a day. Later, the embassy came forward to communicate and the fine was reduced to $3 a day, but it was still a great burden to stay for a long time.

For Pu Aimin, what makes him collapse is that the wait seems endless.

"If you are sure when you can return to China, you can wait, but in this case, you don't know when it will last."

Just like climbing Mount Everest, you can know how far it is from the top of the mountain according to the altitude change on your watch. But if we don't know the top of Mount Everest, which is 8848 meters, then how high is the mountain and when is the end of the climb?

Due to the different policies of countries on the epidemic, Pu Aimin was not isolated in Egypt and the United States. When he was in the United States, he went to the supermarket to see if there were any paper towels, because there were domestic media reports that all American paper towels were snapped up, but what Pu Aimin saw was that everything was normal in the local supermarket, and he also took a video from the supermarket and sent it to friends in China. Including wearing a mask, he also noticed. Some people wear them outdoors, others don't, but when they enter the convenience store, the clerk refuses to let customers who don't wear masks in.

On the one hand, it is the information about the United States on the mobile phone, on the other hand, it is the actual situation seen in American supermarkets. At this time, he felt that the transmission of information was somewhat biased.

While the United States is waiting for the time to return to China, Pu Aimin still has hope. He knew that he had enough time to leave. During this time, he and his teammates lived in a family hotel in the United States, lived with the American landlord, had a public kitchen, and went shopping and cooked every day.

Waiting for the day to return to China is also a torment. Living expenses plus air tickets are also a big expense. But Pu Aimin still feels happy. After all, don't worry about not coming back. The party with Peking University students can continue, and there will be no shortage of children's growth.

His company.

The destination of Mount Everest is not 8848, but home.

It's hard to climb Mount Everest, and it's even harder to go home, but I came back anyway.

This is more important than anything.
