?Chapter 299: 297, Claiming you have altitude sickness means you have it (Third update)_1 Chapter 299: 297, Claiming you have altitude sickness means you have it (Third update)_1 On the eighth day, the 6000-meter-altitude camp once again welcomed several large contingents. The Sherpa people were in front, carrying numerous bags and walking on the snow-dotted mountain paths, followed by several teams arriving simultaneously.
Ren He, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed many Asian faces, though he couldn’t determine their nationalities yet. There were also two teams with black faces, probably African teams. Ren He had heard from Smeier that African climbing teams were not easy to deal with, as they tended to have bad tempers.
As they approached, Ren He heard the distinct Taiwanese accent and standard Mandarin. It turned out that both Asian teams were Chinese. Ren He was quite pleased to see so many compatriots here at the same time.
Smeier introduced them on the side, one was the Chinese team, and the other was the Taiwanese team. The leader of the Chinese team was remarkable, named Xia Boyu. Although he had failed to summit Mount Everest four times, he had never given up. One time he had to retreat due to a storm, another due to the Nepalese earthquake that caused Nepal’s government to halt all climbing activities… His luck seemed always to be eluding him.
Ren He took a deep look at Xia Boyu, realizing that the man was already in his fifties. Could he really summit Mount Everest at such an age?
People always remember the successful and forget the unsuccessful, so Ren He thought that those who are remembered even in failure must possess some extraordinary quality. At least for him, at this age, to still be striving to conquer Mount Everest was truly remarkable.
What surprised Ren He was that Lei Ming and An Si from his team knew Xia Boyu. It made sense upon reflection: one was a mountaineering enthusiast, the other a travel magazine journalist with extensive climbing experience. Presumably, this elder named Xia Boyu was quite famous in domestic circles—after all, leading a team to Mount Everest was not an ordinary feat in China.
