Hong Kong mountain climber and former middle school teacher Zeng Yanhong successfully climbed Mount Everest again, which only took about 25 hours and 50 minutes to complete, breaking the world record for the fastest time for women to reach the summit.

Zeng Yanhong accepted an interview with "Hong Kong 01" today (28th) and recalled the two "speed climbing" experiences this month. She described the storm on May 11 when it was about 100 meters from the summit, which took more than an hour. The team only advanced about 10 meters. In the end, the team discussed the danger of life. When only 90 meters from the summit, they decided to give up and return to the camp. They challenged again on May 22, and finally succeeded in "speeding up" the summit and breaking the world record.

She said that Hong Kong people are facing the changing environment positively and positively. "We can choose to face it positively, or we can choose to complain. I hope everyone can choose the former."

The world is becoming more and more variable, more and more difficult, and psychological challenges are great, but in any case, everyone faces the same objective world. We can choose to face it with a positive attitude, or we can choose to complain, hope You can choose the former!

After the first summit in 2017, he has planned to "speed climb"

Zeng Yanhong, 44, once again "fast-climbed" Mount Everest on the 11th and 22nd of this month, and successfully reached the apex on May 22nd, setting the world record for the fastest female climb to Mount Everest.

"Quick climb" means "fast climb to Mount Everest", which means starting from Mount Everest Base Camp in the shortest time and going straight to the highest point of Mount Everest.

Unlike the two summits in 2017 and 2019, there are higher requirements for physical strength and climbing skills.

Zeng Yanhong said that after successfully reaching the top in 2017, she has already planned to "speed climbing". After several years of training, the journey was delayed due to the epidemic, so she cherishes this opportunity very much. Thanks to her family and team for their support, so that she can complete it. Mission impossible".

On May 11, 90 meters from the summit of Mount Everest, it turned back in a blizzard

Zeng Yanhong recalled that before the fast ascent of Mount Everest on May 11, the weather report showed that there would be strong winds in the afternoon, but the wind speed was acceptable. When the distance was only about 100 meters from the top, the weather suddenly became abnormal, and the blizzard caused the team to spend a lot of time. I only traveled about ten meters for more than an hour. "The blizzard has knocked down the lens and has a thick layer of ice, and the vision is only 10%. Basically, I can't see it. I only touch the rope and have weak vision." After discussing it, I will be in danger of life. Finally decided to return to the camp.

There is a weather report, and I know that the wind will be strong in the next day, but the wind speed is acceptable. The weather is very abnormal this year... The snow is too thick, 90 meters from the summit, but the last one Duan is the most dangerous. The team has assessed the risks and decided to go down. They insisted on going only ten meters for an hour and a half. They were afraid that they would go down too...

When the rest of the team went down the mountain for the first time, she thought she had succeeded in speed climbing, but Zeng Yanhong disagreed, "A 90-meter difference in the team is equivalent to climbing to the top, but I don’t agree with it. I challenged again on the 22nd and successfully quickly climbed Mount Everest, breaking the world record.

"My life is only one step at a time, and I am used to facing challenges."

She explained that as a child, she grew up in the Mainland and spent four years studying English after she came to Hong Kong. She went from knowing nothing to winning an English award before entering university. She described her habit of constantly facing challenges and moving forward step by step. In 2017 when spend hours just returned from the peak base camp, is once reduced to two hours: "Zo you agree as a world record, the Department indeed ascend to the summit, with the strength to do it, give me a generous account of himself."

from the non-stop The step-by-step Zeng Yanhong sent a message to young people to persevere when chasing dreams, maintain patience, and move forward step by step: "Aim high, expect high, and achieve high, but the process should be prepared and trained."
