In addition to Himalayas peak Everest , there are many world-famous peaks in my country.
There are many Kam Rinpoche, Meili Snow Mountain , and Yala Snow Mountain , which are regarded as the sacred mountain by the Tibetan people.
These peaks, beautiful or magnificent scenery, have also attracted countless tourists.
Some of these snow-capped mountains are regarded by climbers as milestones that will surely conquer in their climbing career.
The story we are going to tell today takes place in Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin County, Yunnan.
This story tells the story of the Meili Mountain Difficult in 1991, known as the "second largest mountain dilemma in history".
At that time, this mountaineering team composed of Chinese and Japanese mountaineering enthusiasts, everyone mysteriously disappeared overnight.
The local Tibetan people believe that this mountaineering team disturbed the purity of the mountain god and was the punishment given to them by the mountain god.
Meili Snow Mountain was also banned from climbing because of this incident, and it is also the only banned mountain in China.
So, what happened to those 17 climbers back then?

team formed
html In the early 190s, a mountain climbing craze in Japan was a while ago, and many Japanese mountaineering teams climbed various snow-capped mountains.
At that time, young people from Japan joined various mountaineering clubs, the most famous of which is the mountain club of Kyoto University .
Mountain Club has a very high popularity among Japanese college students, attracting many young people to join.
Because it often contributes to international natural magazines, it has a certain popularity around the world and has the support of a consortium.
However, Shanyue Club is relatively professional and has strict member review standards, but it is still very popular.
987, the Mountain Society sent a letter to the China Sports Commission, applying to form a Chinese-Japanese mountaineering team with the goal of Meili Snow Mountain.
Before this, although Meili Snow Mountain was included in the mountaineering plan by countless climbers, no one has reached the top.
Meili Snow Mountain in clear weather
For safety considerations, the China Sports Commission invited geology and meteorological experts to observe and survey Meili Snow Mountain.
Two years later, after the domestic authoritative meteorological experts observed day and night, they agreed to the request of the Mountain Society.
So the Mountain Club convened many Japanese mountaineering enthusiasts and professional mountaineering athletes to go to Yunnan, my country.
Sports Committee attaches great importance to this activity and convenes outstanding domestic mountaineering athletes such as Song Zhiyi to join.
And for everyone's safety, the Japanese side also asks meteorological expert Jiro Inoue to go with you.
The two team members quickly gathered near Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan at the agreed time and temporarily stationed in Yubeng Village .
In the village, the mountaineering team members are divided into two parts, one of which is at the foot of the mountain, and the other part is to climb to the top.
has a total of 17 people in the top team, 6 of which are mountaineering team members convened by our country.
html selected to climb high altitude peaks.
They are very experienced in dealing with emergencies and harsh climates when they reach the top.
Everyone looks forward to this mountaineering activity when looking at their excellent equipment.
Meili Snow Mountain is called "Kawaborg" by Tibetan compatriots and is called "a treasure land rich in medicinal materials" in Tibetan culture.
This beautiful and mysterious snow-capped mountain is 6740 meters above sea level, and is not very high among many well-known peaks.
In Tibetan culture, this peak, which is regarded as the sacred mountain, is a symbol of auspiciousness, and many Tibetans come to pray for blessings every year.
Meili Snow Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, and most of the time it is hidden in the clouds and mists.
When the sun just rose, the peak of Meili Snow Mountain was shining with the sun's light, forming a grand scene of "Sunshine Kings Mountain".
This scenery is still a wonder that travel enthusiasts can only see it even if they wait all night.
Meili Snow Mountain and Feilai Temple
Most of the people living in Yubeng Village are Tibetans, and everyone has a strong curiosity about the members of the mountaineering team.
The villagers are very simple and treat the team members as guests from afar.
After learning that the mountaineering team was going to climb Meili Snow Mountain, the villagers became serious and advised them not to climb at will.
But the mountaineering team looked at Meili Snow Mountain, which was only one step away from them, and decided to head towards the Snow Mountain.
Just after they entered Meili Snow Mountain, the villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to pray.
In their eyes, the behavior of the mountaineering team blasphemed the sacred mountain and was a great disrespect to the gods.
The mountaineering team set off before dawn, and everyone's passionate hearts illuminated the way forward.
Soon, the sky gradually became brighter, and the sun slowly rose to the sky, indicating that it was a good weather that day.

When walking to the stronghold, the sun shone warmly on the earth, and everything seemed so smooth.
After a short rest, we all established a base camp and No. 1 camp at the base.
It was already afternoon after building the camp, but the weather suddenly changed and it started to snow.
Weather experts detected that this snow would continue into a blizzard, and the best time to reach the top was no longer speculated.
This news is a pity for the confident domestic mountaineering team members and those who came from Japan.
Everyone discussed countermeasures in the base camp, and finally everyone decided to increase the original three camps to four.
to ensure that in the event of an emergency, the team can quickly withdraw to the camp to avoid danger.
team members agreed that the original camp address remained unchanged and added Camp No. 4 at an altitude of 5,900 meters.
However, there was a dispute between China and Japan on the site selection of the third camp.
Tents on the snowy mountain
Japanese side chose to build the camp on the ridge to facilitate everyone to rest and replenish their physical strength.
, while the Chinese side chose a place that is slightly far from the mountaineering route, but can effectively avoid danger.
On this issue, both sides have different opinions and are unwilling to give in.
Seeing the heavy wind and snow, in order not to affect the climbing progress, we discussed establishing the third camp between the two locations.
But hidden dangers often occur in the most common places, and this third camp is the beginning of the disaster.
When all camps are established, the mountaineering team organizes a team of five people to climb.
Although the wind and snow were pressing against each other, the team reached an altitude of 6,470 meters without any danger.
Seeing that the peak was only 200 meters away, the team members were very excited and immediately reported the good news to the base camp.
Other team members in the base camp were very happy after receiving the news.

Disaster came
The members of the group decided to strike while the iron was hot and climb the remaining 200 meters away, but the blizzard suddenly became violent.
The strong wind roared with snowflakes, as if God was proclaiming his anger to mankind.
Seeing this situation, the team members had to stop, as if they wanted to wait for the wind and snow to continue climbing.
However, in such extreme environments, people lose their physical energy very quickly.
The captain of the third camp stationed in Camp No. 3 kept using the communication device and ordered them to retreat. But the blizzard ruthlessly blocked the retreating path. They groped back to Camp No. 3 with their desire for life.
After returning to the camp, they reported to the other team members who were staying in the camp about the situation on the mountain.
These data contain the terrain and environmental conditions on the mountain, which is of great help to those behind.
After analyzing the data and predicting the climate, everyone decided to continue to try to reach the top on the second day.

However, the bad weather on the mountain seemed to be against them.
After everyone woke up the next day, the blizzard that had already stopped hit again.
As a last resort, everyone had to postpone the mountaineering plan and wait for the blizzard to stop its raging.
I didn’t expect that the blizzard would not stop at all. By January 3, the snow in the camp had already reached 1.2 meters deep.
In order for the tent to avoid being flooded with snow, everyone can only keep cleaning up the snow around the tent.
3 On the night of the day, the team members in Camp No. 3 contacted the base camp. During the call, the team members of Camp No. 3 reported on the situation on the mountain and hoped to continue to reach the top after the snow stopped.
Unexpectedly, this call became the last time that Camp No. 3 got in touch with the base camp.

4 On this day, the blizzard stopped under the expectations of everyone, and the sunshine poured down without reservation, shining on the earth. The team members of the base camp
were overjoyed and quickly contacted the team members of the No. 3 camp to communicate the next plan to reach the top.
However, the other end of the communication tool has not responded.
The team member in charge of communication realized that an accident might occur on the mountain and immediately sent a message for help. After receiving the signal, the relevant departments near
immediately sent a rescue team to search for it.
The Tibetan mountaineering team heard about this and immediately joined the search and rescue team. They climbed to the top of Mount Everest in 1975.
They have very rich experience in facing extreme climates and rescue operations on the mountains.
When the captain got the road map, he found that climbing the Meili Snow Mountain is much more difficult than Mount Everest .
Mount Everest
Meili Snow Mountain is located between Nujiang and Lancang River , and the bottom of the mountain is a river valley.
This means that the vertical drop of Meili Snow Mountain is 5,000 meters above sea level, which is quite steep.
Furthermore, every kilometer of Meili Snow Mountain will rise by 400 meters when climbing.
This causes the climbing team members to consume more physical energy than when climbing Mount Everest.
After reading these, the rescue team leader decided to search and rescue on the second day.
Because it had just snowed, the captain divided the team members into two teams to ensure everyone's personal safety.
One team went to explore the way first, while the other team searched according to the previous mountaineering route.
When walking to a nearby camp, the rescue team found that the camp had been covered with snow.
climbers climbed the mountain in the snow
After two hours of excavation, the rescue team cleared out all four tents one after another.
The team members found that there were no daily necessities in Camp No. 1, which means they had already left here.
At this time, it became dark. The rescue team returned to the base camp for safety and continued rescue the next morning.
The next day, the rescue team set out again, and the journey was relatively smooth. In the afternoon, everyone arrived at Camp No. 2.
The entire Meili Snow Mountain was covered in silver after being baptized by the blizzard, and was completely without any climbers.
At this time, a blizzard hit again, and everyone had to return again and stationed in the original No. 1 camp to wait for the snow to stop.
It was already the third day after the snow stopped, and everyone still had the hope of rescuing the mountaineering team.
Report on this mountain disaster
The rescue team just left camp No. 1 when they heard a loud "boom" deep in the snowy mountain of Meili.
The captain with many years of climbing experience hurriedly reminds everyone: "It's an avalanche, everyone run!"
Everyone hurriedly retreated to the base camp at the foot of the mountain and looked at the snow mountain from the base camp. Everyone was very anxious.
A full two weeks of searching, the climbers in Camp No. 3 were like evaporating from the world.
Seeing this situation, the rescue team had to regretfully announce that all the players on the mountain had been killed.
Meili Snow Mountain stands silently on the earth and stares at the world, while those team members disappear in the wind and snow forever.
The country thanks and mourns the contributions made by the dead team members to friendly exchanges, and holds a memorial service at the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing.
Later erected for the victims
After the news of the death was announced, the classmate of the victims, Kobayashi Shangli, came to Yunnan to find the bones of the classmate.
Originally, he would have been a member of the mountaineering team, but it was delayed because of some things.
Kobayashi and her classmates were on the phone before climbing the mountain.Kobayashi regretted that she could not go, so she prayed for her classmates in Japan.
This result made him feel very painful. He said he wanted to find the bones of his classmates to take them back to China.
However, the relevant departments were worried that the families of the victims would lose control and entered the mountain, so they took prohibitive measures.
Therefore, Kobayashi could only accompany the victims' families back to Japan, but this incident became an obsession in his heart.
But seven years later, he got the news that he "finding the victims".

Weird Notes
998, a local villager drove cattle and sheep to a 3,000-meter-high elevation of Meili Snow Mountain to grazing.
While the cattle and sheep were eating grass, the villagers lay on the grass for a short rest.
At this time, his eyes swept through the colorful things on the glacier in the distance, and when he was curious, he walked closer to check.
After approaching, I found that these colorful things were fragments of people's clothes and tents.
What’s terrible is that there are still many human bones in these fabric fragments!
The villagers were shocked and hurriedly returned to the village to tell the village chief about this.
The village chief immediately remembered the mountain disaster seven years ago, so he quickly reported it to the relevant departments.
Not long after, the search team came to Meili Snow Mountain again and followed the villagers to the place where they found the clothes.
Some people in the mountaineering team took a photo
When the search team looked, they immediately took out the tools to explore, and soon everyone discovered more things.
The mountaineering tools, cameras, notebooks and daily necessities used by the victims were presented little by little to everyone.
search team brought the dug out bones to relevant departments, and immediately compared the bones with DNA.
quickly got the answer, they were the people killed seven years ago.
Sports Commission immediately contacted the Japanese side to inform the news, allowing the Japanese victims to return to their hometown.
After hearing this news, Kobayashi Shangli hurriedly followed the shelter team to Meili Snow Mountain.
Our country’s search team collected a total of 20 bags of relics of the victims for their families to bring them back.
Kobayashi Shangri found his friend's belongings and couldn't help crying. After the search for
, everyone was very puzzled about what happened back then.
Some relics of the victims
People from both countries want to know the causes and consequences of this matter, so they look for clues in the relics of the victims together.
Most of these relics are daily necessities, and only one notebook attracted everyone's attention.
staff recruited a translator, and when the translator read the content recorded in this notebook, his face suddenly changed.
When others saw her increasingly frightened expression, they came forward to ask what was going on.
translation did not answer other people's words, and it took a long time to close the notebook and murmured:
"It's so scary...it's so scary..."
Everyone was confused when they saw the translation in such a situation. Soon, the content on the notebook was completely translated.
Everyone was very surprised after seeing the content on the notebook.
Notes of the victims found at that time
"On December 28th, the snow was still very heavy today. I heard a woman's sharp laughter outside the tent."
"In addition to the woman's smile, there are still babies crying...Is it auditory hallucinations?"
"The signal is too bad, no one can contact you."
" It is still snowing today, and it seems to be more serious than before. Everyone saw the black shadow outside the tent. Who will "
" be? Everyone has such doubts, but no one dares to confirm them. "
" We all saw a temple-like house, and a deep sense of fear arises in my heart. "
" On January 1st, someone had a fever today and was very ill. She started saying shortly after a high fever…”
” She is coming, run! Run! "
" The fever team member still did not improve, and she said again: 'She is coming, and there is still time now, so go home quickly. ’”
”Who is ‘she’? We don't know. But everyone is trapped in an indescribable fear. "
" is too late, everything is too late. They are coming soon, save me, save me..."
Some relics of the victims
After someone saw the content of these notes, he suddenly thought of the rumors circulating in this area.
Rumors and legends that the mountain gods would exile the mortals who made mistakes and let them atone for seven years as slaves.
combined with the victims at that time without a trace. , It's exactly seven years since it suddenly appeared.
This incident coincides with the rumor. After hearing about it, Tibetan compatriots nearby thought it was a mountain god appearing.
Of course, rumors and legends are nothing.
staff took the information on their notebooks to find some experts to analyze.
Through analysis, they learned that the victim was in an extremely harsh environment at the time and their physical functions were Problems have occurred.
The panic and physical energy caused by the blizzards that have been repeatedly stormed and gradually lost, causing auditory hallucinations and hallucinations of the victims.
Group photo of the mountaineering team
The wind in the mountains is louder than other places. The victims are trapped in tents, and their fears will be gradually amplified.
This emotion is gradually infected with other people who are trapped together and suffer. In the heart of the person, this fear completely spreads.
Cluster panic and exhaustion of supplies made everyone trapped tense up.
So, when the avalanche occurs, everyone lost the ability to deal with this accident.
They regard the avalanche as a strange image with phantoms in hallucinations, so they will write the word "Save me".
After the truth was revealed, Kobayashi Shangli returned to Japan with the remains of classmates and friends.
Kobayashi Shangli's later book
But in Kobayashi's heart, everything recorded in the notebook became his obsession.
In the next 30 years, he came to Meili Snow Mountain more than once to visit Tibetan villagers living under Meili Snow Mountain.
At the beginning, no one wanted anyone to enter the Meili Snow Mountain to disturb the gods in their hearts.
But they still admired their perseverance, so Kobayashi was allowed to enter the snow mountain.
And Kobayashi also respected the beliefs of Tibetan villagers, but entered the snow mountain but stopped climbing.

Forbidden Mountain
After this mountain crisis broke out, it attracted the attention of many mountain climbers and professional athletes at home and abroad.
Adhering to the sports spirit of not fearing hardships, there are still countless climbers who want to challenge Meili Snow Mountain.
But Meili Snow Mountain seems to have an indescribable magic to stop all people who want to climb the top.
Meili Snow Mountain is majestic and magnificent. , but because of the legends circulating behind this incident, it is covered with a mysterious veil.
But from a scientific perspective, it is not difficult to find why people are forbidden to climb.
First of all, in addition to the huge vertical drop, the Meili Snow Mountain is also very unstable due to its special geographical location.
Furthermore, our country is a multi-ethnic country. In the eyes of Tibetan compatriots, Meili Snow Mountain is very sacred.
Climbing activities here will inadvertently offend the respect of Tibetan compatriots for this mountain.
So the relevant departments took into account the differences in ethnic culture and made such a decision.
Meili Snow Mountain Landform
In fact, in addition to this mountain crisis, Meili Snow Mountain has also had several very strange accidents.
In the 1990s, there were more than a dozen mountaineering teams going to Meili Snow Mountain, and almost none of them could go up the mountain.
In order to avoid the next mountain disaster, all climbing activities are completely prohibited.
Later, Meili Snow Mountain has become a scenery that people can only stop from afar to enjoy.
Those awesome stories in the snow-capped mountains have become legends, warning people how fragile human beings are in the face of the power of nature.
Respect nature and life. The Virgin Peak in everyone's hearts is no longer climbed, but it is still fascinating.
