1960 At 4: 20 on May 25th, three members of the China mountaineering team, Wang Fuzhou, Kampot and Qu, successfully climbed the summit from the north slope, which was the first time for China people to climb Mount Qomolangma, and also set a record for human beings to climb the summit from the north slope for the first time. 1On May 27th, 975, the China mountaineering team successfully climbed to the top again, and the exact height of Mount Everest was 8848.438+03m. ..
In order to reproduce the heroic deeds of China mountaineering heroes who bravely climbed Mount Everest in 1960 and 1975, the mountaineering team went to Tibet for field shooting. Jason Wu and Zhang Yi also braved the cold to spend the night at Everest Base Camp and experienced the real life of climbers.
The Character Prototype in The Climber
The prototype of Fang Wuzhou (Jason Wu) is Comrade Wang Fuzhou. Different from the film, he seems to continue to participate in mountain climbing after climbing Mount Everest. 1964 successfully climbed to the top of Mount Xixiabang at an altitude of 80 12 meters. He is the only climber in China who has climbed two peaks over 8,000m with 1982.
1975, Comrade Wang Fuzhou did climb Mount Everest again with the China mountaineering team, but it seems that he participated in the organization and leadership work.
The old man died of illness on July, 2065438 19 at the age of 80.
The prototype of Qu (Zhang Yi) is Comrade Qu. He really took off his alpine boots and climbed the "second step". His feet were exposed to the cold for a long time and 65,438+00 toes were amputated. 1975 When climbing Mount Everest, his teammates used the steel cone laid by Qu 15 years ago to set up a metal ladder of nearly 6 meters on the "second step". So far, this "China ladder" has helped thousands of climbers reach the top of the earth.
Qu died in Beijing at 2: 50 am on September 65, 2006, at the age of 82.
There is also a character who did not appear in the film, but had to be mentioned, Comrade Liu Lianman. He appeared in some versions of Chinese textbooks. In the "second step", the Gandang ladder held three climbers in succession (Fang Wuzhou in the film) and risked his life to leave the only oxygen bottle to the climber who attacked the top. Finally, he survived by will and returned successfully. Due to some factors, it is a pity that this role did not appear in this film.
The old man died in Harbin at 6: 35 on April 27th, 20 16 at the age of 83.

Historical background
1923, British explorer George Mallory was asked by The New York Times why he climbed Mount Everest. He replied, "Because the mountain is there." Mallory, who left this famous saying handed down from ancient times, failed to conquer the world's first peak in the end. 1924, he was completely lost in the ice and snow of Mount Everest.
In 1950s, British and Swiss teams successively climbed Mount Everest from the southern slope of Nepal. However, on the northern slope of China, no one has climbed to the top of the world since then. The British, including Mallory, lost halberds on the northern slope several times, so that they came to the conclusion that it was "almost impossible" to climb the mountain from the northern slope where even birds could not fly.
Until14: 20am on May 25th, 960, the China mountaineering team, which was founded less than five years ago and the average age of its members was 24 years old, struggled to plant the five-star red flag on Mount Qomolangma, completing the feat of climbing to the top from the north slope for the first time in human history.
Today, more than half a century later, the myth of invincibility on the north slope of Mount Everest has been broken by more and more people. Few people who are surprised by the increasing speed of climbing the summit today know that,
With the help of the steel cone that the climber laid hard on the rock wall, the metal ladder was still an indispensable help for the climber until 2008. Few people know what twists and turns and extreme challenges the young China mountaineering team has experienced. ...
