Luo Jing bluntly said that she had no money. When her son was one year old, her husband suddenly disappeared and left huge debts. Fortunately, the housing prices in Beijing have helped her.
She sold her house in Beijing 3 Ring Road to pay off her debts and moved to 5 Ring Road. Since then, the direction of her life has begun to make everyone unrecognizable: climbing on credit, risking their lives rock climbing .
In 2018, she completed climbing 14 snow-capped mountains of 8,000+ meters, becoming the first woman in China to take off this "holy grail". Behind the success of
are the real dilemma and the threat of death.
The two avalanches she experienced
Luo Jing is a girl from Hengyang, Hunan. She has both the spicy taste of a girl from Hunan and the softness of a girl from Southern beauty.
If her mother is asked to describe her, then the mother will decisively say one word: stubborn. How stubborn is Luo Jing?
When she was a child, her mother slapped her. She gritted her teeth and stared at her eyes, and forced her tears back. As long as it is something she believes, even if she gets beaten ten times, she will not bow her head and admit her mistake.
But life is specialized in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction. In 2006, she experienced a major avalanche in her life. That year, her son was only 1 year old, and her husband disappeared in order to hide from debts.
All that is left to Luo Jing is his son and a couple’s joint debt. Faced with the repeated visits from the debt collector, she was too tired to deal with it and finally had to sell her house in the Third Ring Road in Beijing and move to the Fifth Ring Road.
Before this, Luo Jing has always been an outdoor sports enthusiast. But since something happened at home, she once returned to her IT industry to earn money to support her family.
When she paid off her debts and everything was settled. Luo Jing suddenly realized that a person's life is actually very short. If he cannot do what he wants to do in this life, then what is the fun of living this life?
In 2011, Luo Jing quit his job, challenged the first 8,000-meter peak, Manaslu Peak and successfully reached the top.
At that time, she was just a puppet who climbed a mountain and had no sense of autonomy. She could go wherever others took her. This mountain cost Luo Jing 100,000 yuan, which was the money she originally wanted to buy a car.
2011, the first 800-meter Manaslu Peak
2015 in Bloat, she experienced an avalanche, and at that time she felt that she was only half a minute away from death.
That time, the team leader suddenly changed his plan to reach the top and set off one day in advance. During the process of reaching the top, Luo Jing and her teammates were still immersed in the fairy tale of ice and snow, but they didn't realize that the danger was approaching.
At that time, Luo Jing also photographed a small avalanche. She regarded it as a natural wonder. In fact, it was a silent warning from the snow mountain to them.
Snow Mountain is like this. Behind the crystal clear ice and snow wonderland, danger quietly comes. A row of snow waves rushed from top to bottom.
At the moment when the snow mountain collapsed, Luo Jing was wrapped in huge snow waves and rolled downwards. Luo Jing could hardly control her body.
Under the pulling of the safety lock lanyard and the impact of the snow wave, Luo Jing felt that her chest was almost suffocated. Finally, she inserted it into the snow in an inverted V-shaped posture.
In the end, it was her bright orange gloves that saved her life. When Sherpa dug her out of the snow, she truly felt what it means to escape from death.
However, this did not stop Luo Jing from rushing to the top. After several days of reflection, she did not shirk her mistakes from others, but instead enhanced her autonomy.
She decided not to be a "puppet client", she wanted to hold her life in her own hands. This is a long road to self-growth.
A contradictory body that is both strong and crying
All climbers have a characteristic: they like to toss themselves. The same is true for Luo Jing. Anaerobic mountaineering and multi-peaking climbing are all challenges that Luo Jing set for herself.
For some commercial mountaineering companies, they don’t care that their mountaineering customers use a few bottles of oxygen , they only care about their top-up rate.
For Luo Jing, anaerobic mountaineering is a belief and a gift, and it is a gift from Luo Jing to her son Nuonuo.
In order to achieve the goal of anaerobic mountaineering, Luo Jing always climbs higher than others during training, and she consciously trains herself.
When she first started trying anaerobic climb, she vomited 7 times a night. This frustrated her, and she wanted her son to witness her success after she challenged her limits.
7 In July, she tried to climb Anna without anaerobic mountaineering for 13 hours, and she still couldn't hold on for 1 hour away from the peak.
Later, in the video with his son, Luo Jing cried: "Mom really shares with you the joy of my challenge success, but I really can't do it."
In fact, for climbers, Luo Jing is already very strong. The anaerobic challenge is a double challenge that humans, instinct and nature have done.
Challenge failure does not mean that it is a failure in life. These failures still make people truly understand themselves and the truest self that is displayed under difficulties and failures.
Climbing is a expensive hobby. In fact, Luo Jingcheng's first seven mountains were all at his own expense. If the money is really not enough, she will pay on credit and then offset some of the accounts by leading the team to climb the mountain.
Until later, after Luo Jing got a little famous, someone began to ask her to give some paid speeches, and she also received sponsorship from her first outdoor brand.
She will not take the initiative to dig into sponsorship. Because she hopes that her mountaineering actions are unrestrained, she does not want to be bound by the so-called commercial value.
I really have no money, and Luo Jing also thought about selling the house on the Fifth Ring Road, then buying cheap houses in other places, and spending money to climb mountains during the holidays.
Luo Jing never complained about the pressure of life. In her opinion, everything is the best arrangement, and all she can do is accept everything in life.
Life and Death on the Snow Mountain Road
On the mountain, Luo Jing has experienced many times the edge of life and death. But there are three things that really calmed down and talked to death.
The first thing is about "the mountain troubled". Some people say that for climbers, ultimately burying them on the mountain is the best destination.
But when Luo Jing saw the body of the mountain victim with almost transparent skin, she felt that these people must be thinking of living at the last moment of their lives.
In Annapurna , there is a monument, and all the names of the victims are engraved on it. Of course, there are some anonymous men who always lie under the snow-capped mountains.
This made Luo Jing truly understand: respect nature and cherish life. For climbers, climbing is never a game of death, but a communication with nature.
The second thing is that in 2013, 5 players died in the 15-person team. This includes a Korean youth.
On the mountain, the good and evil of human nature will be infinitely magnified. On the mountain, if you are a little selfish, you may have your own life.
At that time, when he was retreating from the mountain, Luo Jing met this Korean guy. They originally planned to act together.
But because there is a member in the Korean guy's team who is inconvenient to legs and feet, he wants to take care of that player. But if so, their downhill time will be delayed by several hours.
In Luo Jing's opinion, it is better to go down the mountain than to go down the mountain, so she decided not to wait for them and go down the mountain as soon as possible.
As a result, a few hours after she went down the mountain, bad news came from the mountain, and five people, including the Korean guy, were killed due to a fall.
This experience made Luo Jing realize that on the mountain, any choice is crucial and it may determine a person's life and death. From then on, Luo Jing was very cautious every time he made a choice.
The third thing is also in June 2013, the instructor who took her into the mountain gate was killed in a shooting incident in Pakistani .
Before that, Luo Jing had originally made climbing the Parbat Peak in Pakistan as his next climbing goal.
After learning about this incident, she was sad about losing a mentor, and she was also very scared.
Because, at that time, the terrorist organization had publicly stated that it would launch similar intimidation operations later, and the adventure company she chose was the company where something happened.
Luo Jing was a little hesitant, but her friend Oscar told her, "Don't let the fear of the outside world control your heart."
After hearing this, Luo Jing resolutely set foot on the plane to Pakistan and completed his own way to the top.
In 2018, Luo Jing began to climb the 14th mountain he wanted to challenge, Xixiabangma Peak at an altitude of 8027 meters.
This peak is the shortest of the 14 peaks, but it is also the most controversial mountain after Luo Jing climbed.
To this day, people still have objections to Luo Jing’s position at the top. Luo Jing himself felt that they had reached the wrong top, but the organizer believed that they had reached the top.
Now, Luo Jing spends more time on her son Nuonuo, who takes Nuonuo to travel, skydiving , and gliding. 17-year-old Nuonuo looks more and more like a mother: brave, strong, and dare to challenge.
Nuo and coach
When we see the fragility of life with our own eyes, people will realize that time is precious, so when we still have time and opportunity to do what we want, then hurry up and do it.
For Luo Jing, every choice on the mountain is crucial. For us in life, choice is equally important. Every decision has the potential to change our future.
In Luo Jing, we can see her fragility and tenacity. In her body, there is a powerful energy hidden, which comes from her perception and resistance to life.
Under the baptism of storms, ice and snow, life and death, and under the precipitation of time, Luo Jing blooms like a sonorous rose under the wind and rain.
