Born to love nature
Sharing beautiful scenery is the happiest thing he has been
" He has liked climbing since he was a child, especially looking at the scenery. He said that he loves nature. "Wang Xiangjun's mother He Bangqiong told reporters that when she was in her 10s, Wang Xiangjun climbed all the mountains within a few kilometers of his hometown, and sometimes he "touched" home in the middle of the night.
"After failing the college entrance examination, Wang Xiangjun repeated his senior year of high school, and the school teacher asked him to pay 300 yuan in material fees. We were very poor at that time and could not afford it. He stopped studying in anger and went out to work that year. "According to He Bangqiong's recollection, Wang Xiangjun went to Foxconn, Guangdong by an acquaintance. During the training in the company, Wang Xiangjun contacted his family several times by phone, but suddenly he couldn't get in touch. After asking someone, he found out that he had left alone and no one knew where he went.
"When he went to Guangdong, we pieced together and brought him 800 yuan in cash. His father sent him from his hometown to Linshui County. He was relieved after seeing him get in the car. "He Bangqiong said that the transportation was inconvenient and the communication was backward. The family had no source of income. His son was lost. They could only ask someone to help him find it. They also searched for a TV station for help, but they never found it. Later, they stopped looking for it.
In the summer of 2017, Wang Xiangjun's cousin browsed short videos online and thought that there was a man named "Glacier Brother" very much like Wang Xiangjun. Later, when he contacted him, it was him. After losing contact for a full 8 years, Wang Xiangjun recognized his family. Wang Xiangjun told his family that after going out, he suffered from lack of skills and was unwilling to be restrained. He lived a life of working and traveling while working. went to construction sites, went to factories, helped restaurants, set up street stalls... He did whatever he could do, and then used the money he earned to play. Don't go to scenic spots, just go to the prehistoric forests or wilderness villages that are rarely visited.
The happiest thing for Wang Xiangjun is to take pictures of the beautiful scenery and share it with others. In order to see the glaciers, Wang Xiangjun went to Tibet covered with vast glacier groups, "working in Ali and Naqu in Tibet, restaurants along the Sichuan-Tibet line", and went to climb the mountain after receiving his salary. He climbed the glaciers, explored the ice caves, and swam down the ice lake. When he faced the natural scenery he had never seen before, he always gave a "wow" amazement.
On the way to the glacier, Wang Xiangjun sat down to take a nap
In 2017, Wang Xiangjun registered an account on the "Kuaishou" short video platform and shared it simultaneously The glacier videos he took have attracted more than 1.8 million fans in four years, and the "Tibet Adventure King" and "Glacier Brother" became popular.
In order to share the glacier he took with more people, Wang Xiangjun set up a street stall and sold glacier photos for 2 yuan per picture. Later, he registered a Kuaishou account and sold glacier photos online; the platform did not allow it to be sold, so he put the photos on USB flash drive and sold USB flash drive; the platform did not allow it to be sold, so he brought goods through live broadcast and gave glacier photos to customers as gifts. In 2020, these glacier photos were upgraded to custom-made pictures of the table calendar.

, and Wang Xiangjun's footsteps were in The road to shooting glaciers is getting farther and farther away - As of the end of 2020, he had climbed more than 70 glaciers in western China to record how they melt and disappear. In December 2019, he was invited to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Madrid, Spain, and shared the observations and records of glaciers and climate change over the years with people around the world.
Wang Xiangjun once said:
"We will eventually lose this short life."
After becoming the "Tibet adventure king" with millions of fans, Wang Xiangjun often showed himself in front of the camera with his unkempt and cracked lips, looking no different from a homeless man.However, the beautiful scenery of glaciers, mountains and rivers under his camera fascinates many people. Fans said: "He has brought us too many beautiful glaciers, mountains and rivers videos, which we cannot see normally, and may not see in our lifetime."
"A person's life is very short, and he has to go out and try it out, otherwise it will be meaningless." Wang Xiangjun once told his family. There is also a passage on the calendar made of glacier photos he took: "We will eventually lose this short life. You might as well be bolder, love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream."
When you first climbed the snow-capped mountain and saw the beautiful glacier, Wang Xiangjun's life trajectory changed.
While working and traveling in Yunnan, Wang Xiangjun saw the glacier advertisement of Yulong Snow Mountain and decided to go up and take a look. Because he had no money to take the cable car, Wang Xiangjun chose to hike, starting from an altitude of 2,000 meters and walking to the glacier park with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The scene in front of him was shocking: the black and white snow-capped mountains and clear blue sky had a clear boundary, which was so beautiful that he couldn't believe it. After that, Wang Xiangjun embarked on an adventure - he wanted to go to more places and look for more glaciers.
Tibet is the next stop. Here, before Wang Xiangjun became a "Internet celebrity", he mainly relied on working to make money and used the money he earned to explore - wherever there were glaciers, there was "Glacier Brother". But his journey was full of loneliness.
The stray dog "Potato" taken in by Wang Xiangjun
Three years ago, Wang Xiangjun set up a tent in Motuo, Tibet overnight. A stray dog as big as a palm drilled into his tent to avoid the cold. Wang Xiangjun slept with the puppy all night and rode a motorcycle on the road the next day. The puppy stayed on his way. He decided to take it in and named it "Potato". After that, Wang Xiangjun had an inseparable partner on his lonely journey. In the video released by Wang Xiangjun, "Potato" sometimes gets lost, but it won't take long to return to the video.
Many netizens expressed regret for Wang Xiangjun's death. "What is unbelievable is that he is only 30 years old. Lao Wang looks no different from his 40s. This is the price of wind and sun on the plateau for many years..." "He can be regarded as a very pure dream chaser, an extraordinary ordinary person, a fire meteor shining through the night sky of the snow-capped mountains. Finally fell in the arms of the glaciers, and stayed in the arms of his favorite mountains. It is also a destination."
