The second generation of the outdoor enthusiasts.


An impossible dream

The first half of Qingyi’s life changed when he saw a CCTV live in 2003 about how the first team of folks reached the top of Everest. At that time, Qingyi had already earned some money by doing business, and he also had been self-destroying. He was playing around and showing off. He also was addicted to online games for three years and almost destroyed his eyes. He was not ashamed of himself and was not awakening.

He thought his life would be like that until the end until he saw the top of the snow mountain and saw how life could be passionate. That view impacted his dead heart.

At that night, he looked himself in the mirror, he was strange and weighed 90 k.g due to middle-age spread. He slapped himself and said,“fat-ass, Shi Wang who is 53 years old could climb to the top of Everest. As a man who was not even 40 years old, why can't you?”

Qingyi used five years and a half to chase his dream of climbing Everest. He worried that he might not be able to insist at the beginning. He said to his son,“son, your father wants to climb the Everest, but the Everest is a huge thing and I am a little afraid. I want you to help. ”His son Tiancheng opened his innocent eyes and replied,“Dad, I will help you. How can I help you?”

That day Tiancheng who was in fourth-grade pinkie swore with his father and promised to supervise his father to run for 10000 meters per day. He would run with his father for 5000 meters. You could see them running together at the small playground in the campus no matter rain or wind. Qingyi thought about quitting many times, but whenever he saw the red face of his son which contained supervision, encouragement, and spur, he insisted on running towards the dream of go to the highest spot in the world.

Moving forward with passion and hurt.

The first phase of physical development of Tiancheng finally arrived when he was 14 years old. Qingyi thought it was time to set off. At July 2012, the first long-distance riding which was over 2000 kilometers was waiting for Tiancheng at the starting point of Sichuan-Tibet line——Chengdu. Ticheng brought his summer vacation homework of the second year of junior high with him.

“We made a deal at first that this time will be you taking me instead of me taking you,” said Qingyi before they left, and they also made three promises which were that his  son had to plan the route and in charge of eating and places to stay at night while dad was only in charge of the safety issue, and they must ride the bike and would not push the bike for one step even dying.

One hour after they set off, Qingyi’s son had already ridden for more than 30 kilometers in the rain and overtaking for fun. Qingyi could not control himself and remind his son it was necessary to distribute strength rationally. Tiancheng raised his eyebrow and replied,“Dad, are you lacking strength?” Tiancheng was frivolous because he was young, just like Qingyi was. The joke of his son became real. The third day after they set off, the meniscus of Qingyi’s right leg was broken, and every round he rode was hurting like hell. That was an old injury which was left one year earlier during long run due to careless. Qingyi did not think that the injury would break out so fast. His pressure increased, and he could not tell his son.

Climbing across the generation gap.

When they arrived Maitang, Qingyi saw a car crash scene, and he could not reach Tiancheng through the phone. Qingyi was anxious for the first time. There were people die on the road every day, and there could be landslides, fallen stone or he could fall in the water during the raining season. All kinds of bad thoughts started to appear in his mind.

He started to ride with both of his legs regardless the excruciating pain of his leg's injury. Finally, he saw the familiar figure of Tiancheng. He rode like a flash and hugged his son.

The son repelled the good intention of the father. During one conflict, Qingyi said that all he doea was for the benefit of his son again. His son got mad and said,“Dad, I am annoyed because you always say that everything you do is for my benefit. If not for you, I would stay at home, play balls, watch movies and play games. I am telling you that I am here for you.

Tiancheng was young and emotional. He wanted to go home in the middle of the night and ran out. Qingyi could not find his son who had no money on him in the cold raining night with the pass of the East of the Mountain which is 5008 meters high not far ahead. Qingyi was nervous with worry, but when he went back to the hotel, he found his son was already back. They were silent, and every word seemed redundant。

The most comfortable thing for Qingyi was his son who only knew the passion of chasing speed at first, gradually falling in love with nature. His son said,“Dad, this is awesome, I never see a sky and grassland like this.”Qingyi was touched when Tiancheng stopped at the Maomu Grassland and suddenly yelled.

Well intention behind the well burdened hike.

Another summer vacation, this father, and his son went a place even further——Nepal. His intention of taking his son to hike was trying to lead his son at first. But now, what he wants more is to leave some warm memory when they can.

They had a lot of things, and they did not hire any poter to carry their stuff. His son did all the things. Annapurna circuit was a challenging hiking route, and Qingyi made a 21-days’ hiking rout into 14 days. His son started to complain about the hardship the third day and said,“Dad, I really can not walk anymore. All I want to do is to go home and read.”

Tiancheng lost the frivolousness he had at Sichuan-Tibet line. Qingqi was worried about his son but also smiled in his heart. Difficulty and hardship is an unavoidable experience in the growth of a man. Some times you have to be hard on your son.

As a father, Qingyi was looking for torture the whole way, but his son started to care about his father. Qingyi could not walk fast because he worried that his old injury would relapse. Tiancheng always had to wait for his father ahead for over half an hour. When he finally saw his father, he would come and gave his father his favorite soft drinks Fanta.

The higher they got, the more expensive Fanta got. He knew his son would not drink it and saved it for him. Even though a sip made him feel sweet from bottom to top.

The mirror of each other.

The journey is the best teacher. When they almost arrived the end, his son became his teacher for once. The hotel they stayed at the last night had no hot waters for a shower, Qingyi who was tired got mad immediately and yelled at the waiter. Tiancheng, on the other hand, apologized sincerely. Afterward, his son turned to him, and his son who had never been this serious before said,“Dad, your behavior today made you not worthy of being my father, and you made me look down on you.”

The look of his son which was firm with tears in his eyes made him calm down instantly. Tiancheng did not talk to him the whole night, and Qingyi was both shameful and grateful. The reason why he was grateful was that his son was upright. He felt emotional because his son was like his mirror.

Nobody can save you.

After hiking through the deep Himalaya, Qingyi finally felt it was time to take his son to climb a real snow mountain. At the summer of 2014, 16 years old boy arrived Chola Mountain which was 6168 meters high.

They were unlucky from the beginning. Tiancheng’s hiking boots were leaking water, and he got cold when they only arrive NO.1 camp. He had a fever of 40 degrees, and his sweat made his sleeping bag humid. Qingyi looked after his son who was delirious all night, he felt like quitting because he was worried about his son. But his son was determined and said he was fine when he woke up in the morning.

The fever did not break his son, but the ice wall near the peak which was a hundred meters high stopped Tiancheng. The ice wall was 70 degree, and Tiancheng only learned ice climbing for one hour.

Looking at his son who was climbing side by side with him got slower and slower at ice kicking and almost fall for many times. Qingyi was worried because he knew his son’s confidence was losing second by second.

He was afraid that his son would give up, but Tiancheng broke down in the end. Tiancheng said,“Dad, I could not climb anymore, I could not reach the top.” When Qingyi saw his son’s almost despaired face on the ice wall, his instinct wanted to help him. But the moment he leaned over, there was a voice in his mind told him that he could not do it unless it was necessary.

"Tiancheng Chen, at this time, no one can save you. You have to rely on yourself." He yelled and then he kept climbing. He didn't look at his son hard-heartedly. He didn't want to make Tiancheng feel that he could be helped/  

Raising a kid is like climbing.

Could his son who was left behind on the ice all reach the top?Qingyi waited at the top for more than ten minutes. Time seemed frozen until he saw his son and heard his son said to the guide who wanted to help him,“No, I will do it all by myself.”

Qingyi felt the pleasure of clearance when he heard his son’s voice which was firm again. He felt like he had accomplished, so was his son.

Standing on the top of the snow mountain and looking at Tiancheng who was 16 years old opened the class flag of the international class of Maanshan No.2 Middle school agog, Qingyi felt proud, and his son was handsome. Even though his son’s lip was cyanosis and there were cuts on his son's face which were made by ice.

He took his son ride, hike and climb the mountain with him in three summers. He did it, so was Tiancheng. He thought what he did was for his son, but in the end, this journey filled his life.

One thing that made this experience more perfect was that during the way down, his son suddenly said to his father,“Dad, this time I have to thank you if it’s not for you, I definitely could not reach the top.”

That was the first time he heard thank you from his son in 16 years. To his son, this journey was no longer for him anymore. At that moment, Qingyi felt all the sacrifice he made all these years was worthwhile.
