Xia Boyu, 69, reachedthe top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, on May. 14, 2018.He became the second double amputee (双腿截肢者)tomake it. Mark Inglis of New Zealand, who also lost both legs, was the firstdouble amputee to step onto the roof of the world in 2006 from the Tibet side.
In 1975, Xia lost hisfeet after giving his sleeping bag to a sick teammate when he first tried toclimb Qomolangma. Then in 1996, his legs were amputated above the knee as hefought against a serious illness.
But none of thatstopped Xia from trying to climb Qomolangma again and again: "climbingMount Qomolangma is my dream," he said. "I have to realize it. Italso represents a personal challenge,a challenge of fate."
After the 1975'sclimb, Xia tried three more times,in 2014, 2015and 2016. The 2016 was almost a success. He was just less than 100 meters fromthe top when a sudden snowstorm forced him to turn back. In the end, it tookhim over 40 years to realize his dream. Qomolangma accepted him, finally.
