When I was serving in a certain unit, I was in charge of camera work, and I once ensured that a lieutenant general climbed Mount Tai throughout the whole process.
Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains, the top of the main peak of the Jade Emperor, the altitude is 1545 meters, because the peak has the Jade Emperor Hall and gets the name, the main worship of "Journey to the West" mentioned in one of the mythological characters of the Jade Emperor, that is, the common people say "God".
When we were not far from the summit, the locals advised the lieutenant general to stop and not to "reach the top". Because of the spread of local believers, "reaching the top" will be the "head" of being an official. It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. As long as the incumbent officials who come to climb Mount Tai are in office, some of them follow the customs of the villagers and abide by them well, but more comrades do not think so.
Under the persuasion of the locals, and there may be other reasons, the lieutenant general did not reach the top of the Jade Emperor, although it is a little regrettable, but the folk customs are respected.
During my service, I did not listen to the goodwill "advice" of the locals, and "climbed to the top" many times, and appreciated the style of the five mountains and the unique "will be the top of the mountain, and see the mountains at a glance".
After 16 years in the army, although I worked hard, I did not find a "one-and-a-half position", had a better development, and regretfully retired as a fourth-class sergeant major (first class sergeant).
As revolutionary soldiers, we must respect facts, respect science, and not believe in this set. I think the main reason why this lieutenant general did not "reach the top" is that he realized that there is no end to serving the people, and he can never "reach the top" and "reach the end".
