湖北省武汉市东湖高新区2024-2025学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试卷
On May 24, 2021, 46-year-old Wang Hong reached the top of Qomolangma, which made him the first blind person from Asia to climb the world's highest mountain. Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer made it in 2001 and 2017. They are the only three blind mountaineers to have climbed Qomolangma. Born in Chongqing, Wang became blind at the age of 26 due to glaucoma (青光眼).
Both his father and uncle lost their sight because of the same disease, so Wang knew exactly what life would be like for blind people from an early age. He lived his life without goals. Luckily, he was saved by his wife. "I felt so hopeless then. But my wife was always there and encouraged me. Without her by my side, I couldn't have pulled myself together, " Wang recalled. Later, Wang became a blind masseur (按摩师).
In 2015, by accident, he heard of the blind American mountaineer Weihenmayer, who climbed Qomolangma. ★ . He then started to climb the mountains together with his guide. With the help of his guide, he did a lot of training, including rock climbing and walking on snow and ice.
Wang also met many other mountaineers from all over the world. They all encouraged him even though they spoke different languages. Wang could feel their warmth through hugs or pats on his shoulder. Wang said the climbing of Qomolangma taught him many things, including how to trust people.
"I can't see the world, but I want the world to see me." Wang said, "I've got so much energy from my family and these climbers. Now I'd like to share that energy with others and encourage other disabled people. "
