In January 1991, Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan Province, China. A few days later, news came that shocked everyone: an avalanche occurred in Meili Snow Mountain, and all 17 people in the mountaineering team were killed!

January 1991 , Meili Snow Mountain, Yunnan Province, China. The Sino-Japanese Joint Mountaineering Team is challenging the final sprint. A mountaineering team composed of 17 people reported to the base camp at the foot of the mountain: "It's going to snow now."

camp replied: "Please do snow removal."

camp No. 3 responded: "We have no power!" Then quickly hung up the phone.

This is just an ordinary call, but no one expected that after hanging up, the call would never be dialed again. A few days later, news came that shocked everyone: an avalanche occurred in Meili Snow Mountain , and all 17 people in the mountaineering team were killed!

What have the members of the mountaineering team experienced in this disaster? Is there no chance of life at all? It was not until 7 years later that the remains and relics of some of the victims were found. One of the diaries made the disaster even more weird. What was going on?

Tragic mountain difficulties

This mountain difficulties is the second largest mountain difficulties in human mountain climbing history. At that time, China and Japan were uniting, and 17 members formed a friendly joint mountaineering team to prepare to climb the Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan. But the accident happened suddenly. During the climbing process, 17 people lost contact and were wiped out. They never had the chance to go down the mountain to take a look at the world they once knew.

In the nearly 100-year history of human mountaineering, Meili Snow Mountain has become the only mountain that cannot be reached. The surviving mountaineering base base members, especially Kobayashi Shangli, have been unable to let go of this in the future. Why did their teammates suddenly encounter an avalanche in Meili Snow Mountain?

According to the weather conditions at that time, and they are all experienced mountaineering team members and high-tech tools, it is impossible for 17 team members to be wiped out. This question has always been in his heart.

Finally, Kobayashi Shangli made an important decision. He wanted to return to China, return to Yunnan, return to Meili Snow Mountain, and find everyone's bodies. He prepared 7 body bags in Japan and made a new vow:

17 bags. He must put back his teammates' bodies without falling back and let them return to their hometown.

Seven years later, 998 On a clear summer, the villagers of Yongling Village at the Meili Snow Mountain were heading to the pastures in the mountains to grazed as before. The sharp-eyed villagers immediately discovered that there seemed to be many colorful things on the distant glacier. The villagers thought it was a prayer flag, but when they approached, they found that it turned out to be many clothes and items scattered.

Seeing these scattered things, the villagers felt very scared. This is the Meili Snow Mountain, and no outsiders have set foot on it for many years. Could it be that some tourists were lost and encountered wild beasts here? The villagers hurriedly took the self-defense guy and walked up the ridge with several nearby villagers. When I got closer, I found that the pile of things was actually wrapped in thick bones !

Now the villagers were completely frightened and hurried back to report the situation to the village party secretary. incident alarmed the county and city, and many experts were sent to investigate. Later, it was identified that these bones were indeed human corpses, and these corpses and relics all came from the Meili Snow Mountain disaster seven years ago!

Kobayashi Shuori also learned the news and hurriedly flew from Japan to China. After the erosion of the severe cold and time, the 17 living lives have all turned into desolate bones. The local government sent the bones to the capital of Yunnan for cremation and then handed them over to their respective relatives.

Among these relics, the most eye-catching thing is an diary , a working diary written by the mountaineering team every day. Everyone opened the diary with doubts and sadness, and a dusty past began.The dust of time flew away in time and space. What happened to the mountain disaster seven years ago? Is it a man-made tragedy or God’s wrath?

read page by page, and the diary became particularly strange from the records of December 28 . That day, a mountaineer wrote:

"Tonight, I saw someone outside the tent. I clearly heard the laughter of a woman and the cry of a baby, but there was no one."

In this strange atmosphere, the person who opened the diary held his breath. His whole body was numb. On the snow-capped mountains at such a high altitude, even people rarely set foot on them. How could there be the sound of women and babies? Three days later, 's diary said:

. The only female member in the team had a high fever. She cried and said, "They are coming, they are coming, we are finished, I want to run, I want to go home, we are going to go home, we can go home quickly when there is still time! "

What is coming? The female team member's words were very panicked and scared. What did she see in her dream? We don't know now. And the most frightening thing is the diary of -3 . The team member wrote in scribbled handwriting:

"I'm really wrong, we can't have time, they are really here! It's dark now, and we have no way to escape! Save me, save me, I don’t want to die! I..."

Write this, the diary came to an abrupt end, leaving only a blank space. Everyone who saw this was puzzled, what exactly did they encounter in the past few days of the mountain disaster? What strange experience did the well-trained mountaineering team members be scared to mental disorder after they had gone through? Even writing such random words? Let us walk into the Meili Snow Mountain 17 years ago together and explore the causes and consequences of this mountain disaster.

Mysterious Snow Mountain

Meili Snow Mountain is located in Deqin County, Yunnan Province. It is a huge snow mountain heading north and south. But Meili is actually a Chinese translation in Tibetan, meaning Yaoshan, which is from it The name is produced by producing a large number of precious medicinal materials.

In the eyes of Tibetans, it is known as the four great Tibetan Buddhist sacred mountains, namely Gang Rinpochi in Tibet, Armani Qin Mountain in Qinghai, and Zhaduo Juewo in Qinghai. In Tibetan, its name is Kawagbo Peak . This peak Altitude 6740 meters is also the highest mountain in Yunnan Province.

can be seen that Meili Snow Mountain has a lofty spiritual symbolic significance in the minds of local Tibetans, and this is their sacred mountain. Therefore, when the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team decided to climb Meili Snow Mountain, the local residents strongly opposed it. Local Tibetans said that Songzan During the Ganbu period, Kawaborg was a mountain full of demons and ghosts. Fortunately, the ancestor of Tantric Buddhism dispelled the demons and went through eight major disasters to conquer the local mountain gods.

The mountain god became a god general of the sons of Thousand Buddhas, and also commanded seven sacred mountains from all directions, and played an important role. Therefore, Tibetans respected Kawaborg very much. The Buddhist scriptures say that all the scenery in Kawaborg are spiritual objects of Buddha's seal, which can protect this life and the next life.

In Lhasa, if you climb Potala Palace , you can even see Kawaborg in the colorful auspicious clouds, which shows how sacred and profound the status of this mountain is. In the hearts of Tibetans, if you want to climb Ka Wabög is equivalent to peeing on the head of his faith in the gods. Therefore, they are not welcomed by the arrival of the mountaineering team, and they are even very resistant and have difficulty.

These myths and legends look very ridiculous in the eyes of professional mountaineering team members. They believe that humans have conquered Mount Everest , which is more than 8,000 meters high, and the Meili Snow Mountain, which is more than 6,000 meters above sea level, is of course no problem. At this time, the tool transportation can reach more than 2,000 meters, that is, as long as the last 4 kilometers of sprint are completed, humans can conquer the Meili Snow Mountain.

In the 1990s, the trend of mountaineering was launched around the world, and a professional mountaineering team composed of Sino-Japanese joint once again brought the Meili Snow Mountain into its own vision. This mountaineering stormtrooper has a total of 17 people, six people from China and eleven people from Japan. They even spent two years conducting a series of professional scientific investigations on the terrain, weather characteristics, etc. around Meili Snow Mountain, and the final decision was to be able to go!

Before this mountaineering team set out, Japan had failed to climb the Meili Snow Mountain twice , so this time I had high expectations for mountaineering. Even the captain of the Japanese mountaineering team is a doctor of meteorology, in order to prevent meteorological threats during mountaineering. Everything was perfectly prepared and could be said to be flawless. Little did they know that bad luck was waiting for them on the mountain.

Tragedy occurred

Before climbing, the mountaineering team held a grand ceremony in Deqin County Feilai Temple in accordance with local customs. Feilai Temple is an excellent place to view Meili Snow Mountain and Rizhao Jinshan . After the ceremony, the local villagers who learned the news rushed to Feilai Temple and surrounded the mountaineering team. They advised the mountaineering team not to take risks, and even said:

"We regard the beautiful snow-capped mountains as our ancestors and our gods. If we step on your gods, you will not be able to accept it, right?"

The mountaineering team was a little shaken when they heard the villagers' words. But helplessly, this mountaineering operation has consumed huge manpower, financial resources and material resources between China and Japan. How could it be cancelled rashly because of some of the villagers' words?

They bypassed the intercepted villagers and successfully arrived at Meili Snow Mountain and started the mountaineering operation. Everything went very smoothly. They formed the base camp on a hillside at an altitude of 3,500 meters, and sent 17 of the 29 people with the strongest physical fitness to form a stormtrooper to carry out the next sprinting main peak activity.

Starting from December 8, each group of mountaineering teams have set up four camps at different heights. Camp No. 4 is already very close to the peak, which is also the safe haven before the mountaineering team sprinted to the main peak.

The time to sprint to the main peak is set to 8 . The mountaineering team hopes to reach the top on New Year's Day, which is also a New Year's Day gift to the people of both countries. But on this day, a bizarre situation of hearing the cry of babies and women appearing in the diary.

Under the leadership of the mountaineering team captain Song Zhiyi , a small team has climbed to a height of only 270 meters from the main peak. As long as they walk more than 200 meters, they can complete the first successful summit in human history.

This news made everyone happy, but who knew that when Song Zhiyi was about to continue to reach the top, suddenly there was heavy snow falling from the sky, and snowflakes were rising, without any sign of weakening. There was no choice but to lead the team members back to the Camp No. 3 at 5100 meters above sea level, and prepare to rest and then challenge.

Strangely, this extreme weather lasted for a long time, until -3 , the snowfall still did not stop, the depth of the snow had reached 1.2 meters, and even the tents in Camp No. 3 were about to be buried. As the captain of the mountaineering team, you must make a decision as soon as possible, whether to return to the base camp or take the risk to continue climbing?

So there was a scene where camp No. 3 communicated with the base camp in the first telephone. The team members who have been staying in the base camp have not been waiting for news about the mountaineering team members at Camp No. 3 after this phone call. According to telescope observations, they discovered that a huge avalanche occurred on the hillside of Camp No. 3! , but the weather is very bad, if you go up the mountain rashly, you may suffer greater casualties.

After learning the news, China and Japan organized large-scale search and rescue operations. The Tibet mountaineering team , led by Renqing Pingcuo, was the first to arrive at the No. 1 camp of the Meili Snow Mountain Mountaineering Team and the No. 2 camp at an altitude of 5,300 meters. But while searching for Camp No. 2, the sound of an avalanche suddenly came again.

The summoning of the god of death is once again enveloped on Meili Snow Mountain.After careful consideration, the rescue command decided that all rescuers would go down the mountain immediately. It was not until the 22nd that the Tibetan rescue team returned to the base camp. Based on the geographical factors and environmental conditions of Meili Snow Mountain at that time, China and Japan determined that the 17 team members were no longer likely to survive, and finally decided to temporarily suspend the search and rescue activities. In February of the same year, Babaoshan Cemetery held a memorial service for 17 victims.

full of doubts

Is the curse of Meili Snow Mountain this end?

996 , the last year when Japan had the first climbing rights, the Kyoto University mountaineering team wanted to challenge Meili Snow Mountain again. They have more advanced expedition equipment and more funds than they did five years ago. They came to the monument of the victims of Meili Snow Mountain and made a vow: We must reach the top and realize the wishes of our predecessors!

But when they were ready to beat, a news extinguished everyone's enthusiasm again: "According to the Meteorological Observatory's prediction, Meili Snow Mountain will usher in a more severe blizzard than five years ago!"

The bloody lesson was just five years ago. For safety reasons, this mountaineering activity ended in failure again. What is shocking is that when they just retreated to the base camp, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and it was a good weather without clouds, which was even more suitable for climbing than before.

But why is it easy to re-engage mountaineering? So the Japanese team members had to choose to give up. These strange things made the mountaineering team full of awe of Meili Snow Mountain. Until 2001, the Standing Committee of the Deqin County People's Congress stipulated that : From now on, everyone will be prohibited from climbing Meili Snow Mountain.

Why did the mountaineering team in 1991 encounter such a disaster when they were fully prepared? The scientific community has always had different opinions on this, but the most convincing conclusion is that the captain of the Japanese mountaineering team at at that time only relied on the satellite cloud map on the laptop, so he made a wrong prediction of the snowfall of the blizzard, which led to the sacrifice of the team members.

is a strange record in the diary. What is the reason? Zi Wu said that he was so powerful that he was in chaos, but Meili Snow Mountain has a history of thousands of years, and Tibetans are even more convinced of the legend of the mountain god, and it is not without foundation.

Humans and nature are in a harmonious coexistence relationship. We cannot interfere in nature excessively, otherwise we will be punished by nature. Therefore, the mysterious legend of Meili Snow Mountain may contain the most basic truth between humans and the earth.
