Higher than the clouds, there are mountains

One day in December 2000, in a classroom at Tokyo National High School, Japan, during the annual essay test, a short, thin boy was nervously searching for a composition book in a drawer. His body is sick, the most hated course is composition, the most favorite thing is outdoor sports, climbing Everest is his biggest dream.

Composition teacher mysteriously appeared in front of him, so that his dream temporarily stopped, when the teacher's hand touched his hand, he felt a sense of loss, in the case of losing dependence, he had to resort to his fantasy to complete today's exam.

He dreamed up his future: You can dance on the cloud, the original cloud is also a flat, on the ground can do things, you can sing, you can plant a crop, you can play with your friends together, but you need to pay attention to the gap in the cloud, it is the weakest part of the whole cloud, if you are not careful, you will fall from the cloud gap.

This composition was recited in class by the teacher as a model essay, and the teacher's comment was that the literary talent was not outstanding, but the imagination was rich, but the foundation that could be realized was lacking.

His classmates laughed at his fantasy, saying that the clouds were illusory, how could they go up? At the end of the class, he found the composition teacher with doubts and asked him if such a dream could be realized.

Infected by the little guy's obsession, the writing teacher bent down to stroke his head and said, "Science fiction is impossible, and so far, no one has been able to dance on clouds."

After hearing this, the little man named Shizuo Licheng was depressed. Every evening, he would stand on the hillside at the entrance of the village, looking at the white clouds in the sky and thinking that he had grown a pair of wings like an eagle, flying across the sky and across the clouds.

When he was 18 years old, he began to climb Mount Fuji in Japan, and he suffered a lot of torture and eye-rolling, and in the eyes of countless people, he chose persistence. Mount Fuji is not high, but he climbed twice before success, the first time his leg cramps, emergency calls, doctors and nurses rushed to carry him down, the doctor warned him not to play with fire, he was angry from the bed to get up and run home; The second time he prepared for a long time, and after success, he was dissatisfied and felt that he should challenge the higher mountain, and his goal was to Mount Everest.

This is simply a fantasy, the doctor after hearing his grand achievements straight frown, because in terms of physical fitness, heart beat, grip strength, foot strength, lung capacity and muscular development, he is below the average level of adult men, how can people with congenital deficiency challenge the limits of human life?

But he is an unconvinced guy, he thinks he has the experience of climbing Mount Fuji, and his psychological state is extremely excellent and confident, even if not successful, you can accumulate mountaineering experience, even if really failed, the result is always buried with the mountain.

Before climbing Everest, he did a warm-up and strengthened the intensity of physical exercise in order to expect to improve his determination and experience in dealing with various difficulties. After experiencing the test of life and death, he successfully climbed the world's seventh highest peak, Doulagiri.

In 2008, he failed to climb Everest for the first time, his body appeared temporary shock, and blurred vision, serious hypoxia reaction almost let him die, the second time, he summed up the experience, in his body condition at the best time to start, but contrary to expectations, Mount Everest occurred a serious avalanche, when a victim's body is now in front of him, Suffering, the test of death hit like snowflakes, because of the psychological collapse, he withdrew.

In the two years of adjustment period, he chose silence and strong, cold eyes, relatives and family do not understand, the pain of love to leave, a series of changes like snowflakes, he was not knocked down, but painful, determined to start again. In November 2011, after two failures, he successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest, in his diary he wrote: "When I saw countless clouds wandering at my feet, I felt that I had won, and my childhood dream had come true, originally, there were mountains higher than clouds."

Clouds often face everything in the world with a proud attitude, so that you can not reach, the orca sinking sand, so that your childhood dream shock stop. Since we can't fly and sail on the clouds, we can't use our own bodies to conquer her illusion and soar, why not change our minds, taller people, beyond the body of the clouds.

There are mountains higher than the clouds, when you climb the great peak one day, you will find that the clouds but in the illusory face at your feet wandering, wandering, and your foot on the ground, is a real victory, you can look at the clouds, let the clouds in your skirt lingering dance, worship and awe you.

Longer than the road, and feet; Higher than the clouds, there are mountains.
