She wears the armor of the ancient ocean.

She stands on Earth,

Where is the closest to the sky.

Why do you climb Mount Everest?

Explorer George Mallory answered,

"Because it's there! "

Facing the overwhelming power of nature,

Mountaineers fear it and in awe, but they do not back down.

They guard the honor of their nation with life.

They show their patriotism with sacrifice.

Everyone is the mountaineer of life.

There is no mountain higher than people,

There is no road longer than the one you are on.

Where is life,

Where is the challenge.

To honor the 60th Anniversary of the first time Chinese summit Mount Everest,

China Post issued a set of sealed postcards called Climb The Peak.

It has six special-shaped stamped postcards with unique stamps of Mount Everest,

Challenge means getting out of the safe zone.

Challenge means confidence is better.

Challenge means fly against the wind and do not fear to lose.

Challenge means to get hurt with honor and heal bravely.
