At the age of 41, halfway through his life, he embarked on a pilgrimage to Mount Everest with the obsession that had been hidden in his heart for many years. This is not an impulsive adventure, but a belated fulfillment! The unfinished dreams and unresolved regrets from many years ago have all turned into the motivation to climb to 8848 meters above sea level.
The vertical rock walls of the Hillary Step run like sharp knives. The winds at dozens of degrees below zero are enveloping the ice and snow. The thin air tests the limits of physical fitness. Every step is on the edge of life and death. He once became dizzy due to lack of oxygen, stopped in front of a crevasse, and reviewed the gains and losses of half his life in the late-night camp. The 41-year-old body is no longer young, but the mind that has accumulated over the years has kept him awake in desperate situations: reaching the top is never the goal. Reconciling with the past and paying tribute to the original intention is the meaning of this journey.
The wind, snow and starlight along the way are gifts and tests from nature; the companionship of Sherpa guides and the mutual help of stranger climbers give the lonely journey a warm background. When he finally stood on top of the world, overlooking the rolling sea of clouds, the knot in his heart that had been tied to him for many years was quietly untied. This journey of making a wish across mountains and seas is not only a look back on youth, but also a re-examination of life. The so-called brave is never fearless, but one who knows that the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, but is still willing to move forward for the obsession in his heart. This is a story about persistence and reconciliation
