Xia, a legless mountaineer, relied on 43 years of unremitting persistence and love to reach the summit of Mount Everest five times with a pair of artificial limbs. Finally, the story of success touched many people.

1975, Xia joined the China mountaineering team. When climbing Mount Everest, he helped his teammates, causing his legs to be amputated due to frostbite, but he didn't give up his dream of climbing Mount Everest. During the 43 years of amputation of both legs, cancer invasion and illness, Xia climbed Mount Everest five times. With his perseverance and love, he was finally admitted to Mount Everest in May 18, and successfully climbed to the top at the age of 69, becoming the first person in China to climb Mount Everest without legs.

At a meeting, Xia Boyu thanked his family for their support in climbing the mountain. He said that before going out, the family often said, "It doesn't matter whether we can get to the top, what matters is whether we can come back safely." He also took out the gourd and said, "This is a blessing from my wife before my fifth climb. I have been carrying it since I climbed Mount Everest for the fifth time. This is a blessing, and it is also to accompany me on behalf of my family when I climb the mountain. "
