Mt. Fuji, the symbol of Japan, a sleeping giant, lies quietly under the blue sky, covered with snow, and is a sacred place in the hearts of countless people. However, in the spring of 2024, this holy mountain sings a sad song. On April 26, when rescuers found four unconscious climbers near the summit of Mount Fuji, it was conclusively confirmed that they had died.
"Mountaineers, have you ever thought that the moment you set foot on Mt. Fuji, you will already have a brush with death?" This is a question of mountaineers who ignore the laws of nature and blindly pursue adventure. They may be there to catch a glimpse of the magnificence of the sunrise, or they may be trying to challenge themselves, but for whatever reason, they ignore the most basic truth: Mt. Fuji, which is not yet open.
"Climbing ahead of schedule is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also cruel to your family." Who can truly understand the grief of those families who have lost loved ones? And those climbers who lost their lives at the top of the mountain, did they regret their decision at the last moment?
"The snow on Mt. Fuji is cold, but the human heart is even colder." It's a satire on climbers who ignore the rules and just go for the moment. They may think they are capable of everything, but the forces of nature are far more powerful than they think.
The tragedy of Mt. Fuji is a wake-up call that reminds us to respect nature and revere life. We can't ignore the importance of safety because of impulse. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for reflection and re-examination of the relationship between man and nature.
"Life is endless, and challenges are endless." But that doesn't mean we can ignore the rules and go blind. On the contrary, we should learn to respect in the midst of challenges, learn to be cautious, and learn to live in harmony with nature.
