thosechallengeMount EverestMountaineersThe reason for climbing is very simple,Using British mountaineer GeorgeA famous quote from Mallory: Because the mountains are there.

In 2008, humanity lit the Olympic flame for the first time at the summit of the world at an altitude of 8844.43 meters, a historic feat accomplished by Chinese mountaineersIt is a symbol of the Chinese people's fearlessness and courage to climb, and a vivid portrayal of China's strength and spirit.So far, there have been463 Chinese people have climbed Mount Everest,An Shaohua is one of them. He is a senior outdoor enthusiast from Xinjiang, and people in the community often refer to him asOld An.

An Shaohua was one of the first Xinjiang people to spontaneously organize the climbing of Mount Everest among the people,At 7:50 am on May 16, 2007, 44 year old An Shaohua successfully climbed Mount Everest. He also led a team to develop classic outdoor hiking routes in Xinjiang, such as the Wusun Ancient Road and Wugu Road, and was selected as the torchbearer for the torch relay of the 2008 Beijing Olympics in Xinjiang.

He has another identity, which isXinjiang Blue Sky Rescue TeamCaptain, responsible for team management, training, rescue, training, etc.The members of the rescue team and volunteers each have their own tasks and are only called up when there are urgent tasks. The cost of each rescue is borne by the volunteers themselves, and each team member here has invested manpower, financial resources, and material resources. They demonstrate to people through their own actions that there is still a pure spiritual space in a society filled with material interests.

In April 2013, An Shaohua led a team to participate in the Ya'an earthquake rescue; In September 2014, he participated in the search and rescue work for two college student mountaineers missing from the highest peak in Myanmar, Mount Kakuboyaz, and served as the frontline commander; In April 2015, led a team to the earthquake stricken area of Nepal for humanitarian international emergency rescue... Since its establishment, the rescue team has dispatched more than 600 times, including An Shaohua participating in over a hundred rescue operations.

In this episode of Ningdian Interview, we will interview An Shaohua and share his experience with everyone:

I myself work in waterproofing engineering,WhenI will take on the project or bid for ittimeIntroduce myself as XinjiangBlue Sky Rescue TeamCaptain, tooThe first person in Xinjiang to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 2007, ifThe other partyHe is interested in outdoor activities and mountaineering, so he may bring up the topicOutside of work,There are fewer discussions about engineering.

Usually, would I remind you or just chatBiddingAt work, the other party often says:“You have even climbed Mount Everest. You can definitely do our project well, and we trust you!”

Reporter:Can completeClimbing Mount EverestsuchA magnificent feat,Will it affectConfidence in facing certain things oneselfRelated toattitude?

sincefrom2007I climbed Mount EverestIn the future, my confidence in doing something will be particularly stronglarge,alsoWe are indowhateverThe nature of the matterAt all timesNeed oneA team, onlymemberCollaborate and take care of each other, unleash the spirit of the team, in order to overcome difficulties.

But we started withMount EverestWithdrawalAt that time,Having experienced some life and death, so it's important toNature andlifeofI have a deeper understanding. People are still relatively insignificant in front of nature, and they should have a sense of awe towards nature.We should cherish life, let's talk about life and harmonydieSometimes it's just that moment.

Every dayallIn the face oflargenatural.When nature is calm,The wind and sun are bright, and as long as you flip your face, that personclassAlmost like ants, without any resistanceofpower.that is becauseLife is also very fragile, and vice versa,We need to cherish it even more, right?

meAnd the team membersHaving gone through life and death, IWeIn such a difficult situation, they all survived,againFaced with other difficulties,I don't even think it's difficult,Regarding life and workAny processing in the middleThe situation has increased confidence.

Reporter:Can you provide a rough ideaBy the way, when we reached the summit, we metWhat kind of item is itLife-threateningIs it because of the weather?

It's like this, at that time we werethreeSeveral team members simultaneously withdrew to CtwoAt the campsite, there wereoneA team member's physical condition has been affected due to oxygen issues.There's no way,That night, I had toCamping.

howeverWeThe organizer of the team,I didn't prepare so many sleeping bags and protective measurestideMats, the three of us only have two sleeping bags and two moisture-proof mats, so I'll take care of themtheseI gave it to the other twoTeam members,I plan to do it myselfWearing a one-piece down jacket on the iceupperStayed up all night.

Early morningAt around 4 o'clock, another team member ran out of oxygen again. I gave him my oxygen again, and then more than an hour passed. It might have been after 5 o'clock because I didn't have itOxygen, almostI can't hold on anymore,It can be said that life hangs on a thread.

At this point, among usA team member woke up and gave me his oxygen, so the three of us were like this, using it in reverseTwo people'sOxygen persisted until dawn and survived.

Reporter: Is that correcttheseLife-threateningexperience,Ultimately, it led you to decide to join the Blue Sky Rescue Team?

I should say, INot adding blueSky Rescue TeamActually, before I joined the Blue Sky Rescue Team, I had been working on rescue operations all along.Before climbing Mount EveresttwentyIn 2003, I started hiking and exploredveryMultiple routes, like taking the most route nowmanyofWusunThe ancient path was discovered by me, and it also looks like a wolf towerC, Charlotte, and so on, I participated in the exploration.

meExplore the way,I have written many notes,It's quite detailed inside, including various turning points、Forked roadGPS,It's all written in the notes. After posting it online, others will see itNow,Just take my notes and you'll be fineHiking.

howeverMany friends from out of townI don't have a comprehensive understanding of the geography, climate, and hydrology of Xinjiang, and sometimes I encounter some dangers because I leave my phone number as wellIn the notesThey called me and asked me to go for rescue.

fromtwentyFrom 2003 totwenty07betweenWolf Tower、Wusun、Xia TeJustlaunchMore than ten timesrescueI went to all of them because they were mountain friends,All rescue efforts are free of charge.

Arrivedtwenty11 years ago, by chance, I heard about a blue sky rescue team that didn't exist in Xinjiang yet. I justandThe founder of the Blue Sky Rescue Team contacted us and wants to establish a business in XinjiangBuild a teamHe said he could,With his support,November 25, 2011Day, Xinjiang Red Cross Blue Sky Rescue TeamFormally established.

Reporter: Xinjiang Blue Sky Rescue TeamAfter its establishment, have there been any memorable events throughout the entire life of rescuing people? Throughout the construction of the entire team,You are the mostEmphasize improvementWhat?

I have participated in hundreds of rescue missions of various sizes, from front to back,Every time I doI personally went to the scene, especially fond of some mountain and wilderness rescue operations like ours. I personally went there.

twenty14 years,WegoGo to Kachin State to participate in the search and rescue of the Myanmar University mountaineering team,The situation at that time was like this,Eight members are climbing the highest peak in Southeast Asia, Mount KakaboyazWhen,amongtwoA team member lost contact,

WeFollowing their climbing route,look forThe traces left by their mountaineering,justfindTheir equipment is particularly rudimentary,evenIt's made of woodPegsWhenRock nails, I realized,PersonalrescueTechnology is crucial, and personal equipment is also crucial.

The Blue Sky Rescue Team has a team training called:“Speak less and do more, silently contribute, and improve oneself,Be kind to others”WeDay after day specialized training is to cope withrescueVarious accidents may occur.At the same time, in addition to equipping essential rescue equipment, we have also begun to equip modern high-tech equipment with targeted measures.

Reporter:You said people want itChallenge yourself, but alsoHaving a reverence for nature,How do you think we should approach these two types of conflicts? What do we thinkWhat kind of preparation should be made to challenge?

One thing I often say is that exploration is not adventure, it must be done with sufficient preparation before going on an adventure. Preparation should include several aspects, one of which is psychological preparation. You weigh the success rate of this matter in your heart, and rely on your abilities and the abilities of the team,wouldComplete thisSecond challengeThis requires psychological preparation.

Next, do some preliminary research. You need to go on an adventure,JustYou need to know where you are exploring, and what the astronomy, geography, water sources, and weather conditions of this place are like. This is a preliminary preparation.

And then the material preparation,It's just thatWhat equipment, vehicles, and communication equipment are needed to complete this expedition,What kind of technical personnel are needed to assist youalsoIt's all very important.

And also, it's aboutI want to purchase a weather forecast because of the current weatherfactorIt had a particularly significant impact on our exploration. For example, let's say we have people climbing Mount Everest every year,heWeBe sure to choose a window period, which means buying more accurate microclimate weather forecasts.

If the forecast shows the futureThe weather is relatively good for 5 days, which is called the window period. We climb during this window period, so there may be dangerous situationsprobabilityRelatively small.If you don't understand these, you don't understand these, you don't knowWeather conditions, once encounteredavalanche、Windy,Then the mortality rate will definitely increase.

placehaveThese are all things that need to be planned, prepared, and understood in advance, so that you can truly achieve adventure, not adventure,I think so.

HoweverNo matter how well prepared, unexpected things may happen.This is when we are preparing, we also need to make a contingency plan, which means that if something happens, what measures should we take, and each risk should have corresponding measuresmustIt is implementable.

Reporter:next,Regarding the development of rescue teams, youWhat are the plans for the rescue industryYourtargetWhat is it?

If it were for the entire countryThe Blue Sky Rescue Team hasunderstandIf you want toYou should know that we are involved in civilian rescue efforts throughout the countrypowerAmong them, they are still considered outstanding.

Our Xinjiang Blue SkyrescueTeam, I know the best about it. It's currently available in various states22 teams, to be honest, we have somerescueTechnically, it is still lacking.

Our headquarters has alreadysystemThe plan was made tonextIn three years, we need to solidify our foundation and practice the skills of our blue sky rescue team members. We need to practice them in different categories, such as mountain rescue, rope rescue, water rescue, and mountain rescue. We need to classify each rescue training subject into different categoriesallTo listCome out for training.

In addition,The certificates that should be obtained in the future,We also require team members togoExam, for exampleRescue personnel being promoted by the National Emergency DepartmentLevel 5 certification, wemeetingHow many people must each rescue team have to obtain this certificate.And for exampleWater rescue operation certificates and other categoriescardAll of them have to goExaminationWe have alreadyDoing thisplan.

fromStarting from 2018,China'sEmergency rescue systemstartGradually improving,someMajor accidentsrescue,The country can already afford it,No longer completely dependent onBy the People's Liberation Army.

Our Blue Sky Rescue Team iscountryThe replenishment of rescue forces,Future participation in accident scenesThe chances of rescue are getting fewer and fewer,thereforeNow we are preparing to transport the main components of our rescue teamAdjust the focus.

One is what I just said,The training of rescue skills cannot be relaxed, and the main focus is on usPlaced in disaster prevention and reductionOn the dissemination of knowledge.For example,How to prevent firesThe occurrence of the fire, how to escape from the fire,Or how to prevent drowning.alsoThat's right, although the countryThe entire rescue system is gradually improving, but the communityStill relatively weak in the middle. We still have a key task to focus on now, which isparticipate incommunityThe ability to prevent and reduce disastersbuildincrease,Enable the community to also graspOur setcompleteThe system,Maximize the safety of the people.
