Higher than the mountains

⛰️【Content Introduction】
This book tells the story of China's free climbers over the past two decades, writing their own destinies through climbing, navigating life and death in the mountains. Free climbers are a unique group in China. They number only a few hundred, yet they face the highest mortality rate among athletes in China. The average age of the victims is only 31. Through interviews with numerous individuals and excavating a wealth of fragmented data, the author stands at the crossroads of each young person's destiny, recording the true stories of China's free climbers. Through their life trajectories, he sheds light on the era they lived in, writing an untold epic of mountaineering. This is not just a portrait of climbers, but also the story of idealists from different eras who pursued freedom and self-realization on the brink of death. They are telling the world through their actions that they are willing to risk and sacrifice themselves for the freedom that transcends all.
⛰️【Editor's Recommendation】
🌟 An epic of Chinese free climbing, telling the story of a group of young climbers from different generations (Yan Dongdong, Ma Yihua, Liu Xinan, He Chuan, A Zuo...) as they straddle the lines of life and death in the mountains. 🌟 Documenting those who walk on the edge of a cliff for their simple ideals, those who defy the mainstream and prioritize happiness above all else, and those willing to fail in a secular sense, the book captures their vibrant souls and their yearning for freedom. 🌟 Presenting the connections and bonds between people, from visible groupings and partnerships to the inexpressible, hidden legacy of a spiritual community. 🌟 The result of extensive interviews, solid research, and rigorous fact-checking, this 440,000-word non-fiction masterpiece is a masterpiece. 🌟 "Spreading my wings and never looking back, even with eternal wounds, at least I still have freedom."
🌟 “I choose to do it because I like it, and I am willing to bear the consequences of continuing to do it because I like it enough.”
🌟 Recommended reading by Luo Xin and Yang Xiao
