Recently, there is such a movie, which has been highly recommended by Wu Jing, Hu Ge, Guo Fan, Zhang Yi and many other big names in the entertainment industry, and has also won the first place in the rating of the three major film scoring platforms in the same period. It's the movie Endless Climb.
The movie "Endless Climbing" tells the story of the legless old man Xia Boyu who chased his dreams all his life and climbed Mount Everest. Xia Boyu was the first Chinese to successfully climb Mount Everest, the "world's highest peak", by prosthetic limb. The film fully records the whole process of his fifth ascent of Mount Everest.
In 1949, the year of the founding of New China, Xia Boyu was born in Chongqing, and the word "Yu" in his name is derived from this. Later, in 1956, Xia Boyu moved to Qinghai with his parents and became a professional athlete. When the Chinese mountaineering team went to Qinghai in 1974 to select the members of the second climb of Mount Everest, Xia Boyu, who was only 25 years old at the time, participated in the selection with the mentality of trying it out, and finally he was successfully selected with his excellent physical fitness.
However, during the climb of Mount Everest in 1975, Xia Boyu helped his teammates and gave up his sleeping bag to others, resulting in frostbite and eventually amputation of both calves. Later, he was tormented by cancer and thrombosis, but despite all kinds of tribulations, Xia Boyu never gave up his dream of climbing Mount Everest.
In the 43 years since the calf was amputated, Xia Boyu has maintained high-intensity training every day, always preparing for the re-climbing of Everest. Finally, in the 3 years from 2014 to 2016, he got the opportunity to climb Everest again, and climbed Everest three times in three consecutive years.
But unfortunately, these three times he encountered avalanches, ice avalanches, earthquakes, blizzards and other extreme weather, which led to his unsuccessful ascent, the most recent time he was only 94 meters away from the summit. However, Xia Boyu was not discouraged and gave up, and finally he successfully climbed Mount Everest at the age of 69 on May 14, 2018, creating a miracle to achieve his dream.
It is worth mentioning that in the movie "The Climber" released in 2019, the prototype of Yang Guang's role played by Hu Ge is Xia Boyu.
This time Xia Boyu's own documentary "Endless Climb" was released, and Hu Ge also posted on social media platforms calling on everyone to go into the theater to know this ordinary but real idol. Hu Ge also mentioned that he participated in the dubbing work of the film, expressing his honor.
In addition, the famous actor and director Wu Jing also continues to speak out for the movie "Endless Climb" on social media platforms. On November 15, Wu Jing said that he met Xia Boyu through the filming of the movie "The Climber" and praised the other party as a real hero, and it was Mr. Xia Lao's experience that made him see the infinite hope and possibility of people. Wu Jing also encouraged everyone to walk together on the way to climb and eventually reach the top of their own mountain.
And on December 3, the day of the release of "Endless Climbing", Wu Jing once again introduced the protagonist of the film, Xia Boyu, who said that Mr. Xia's open-mindedness and optimism will make everyone's world more open, Xia Boyu's smile faces setbacks, and the spirit of always climbing will bring strength to each of us.
Wu Jing also posted his own handwritten words "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb" to express his respect to Xia Boyu.
The movie "Endless Climb" has not only been recommended by many big names in the entertainment industry, but also received countless praise from the audience. Some viewers think that compared with Xia Boyu, it is too easy to say that they have given up, and they will be devastated by a little blow, but after watching this film, they really realized the problem and decided not to give up lightly when they encounter any difficulties in the future.
After watching the movie, some viewers suggested that Xia Boyu's deeds could be written into a book or written into the textbooks of junior high school students, so that students could feel this power.
Even after watching the movie, some parents still use this film as a bridge to communicate with their sons, and he is very happy that his children have found the direction of life through this film.
The movie "Endless Climbing" is a rare high-quality documentary, welcome everyone to enter the theater to feel the tenacious and indomitable climbing spirit of Mr. Xia Boyu.
