I always kept speculating on the road. Mountaineering is not simply following the footsteps of predecessors, instead, it is something about cooperating with our team members and walking at our own pace. Remember not to be faster than nature and my strength. 

However, mountaineering is somehow meaningless, just like life itself, but they become a lot more fun when I know they are so. Everyone is going on the road to death, thus, anyone who enjoys this, reaching the top, and celebrating with the teammates could have an extra treat and comfort. It is not pessimism at all, on the contrary, it is objective and open-minded optimism. Just like Romain Rolland noted in Vie de Michel-Ange (Life of Michelangelo): 

Il n'y a qu'un héroïsme au monde : c'est de voir le monde tel qu'il est , et de l'aimer.

So is the research, it is like an extreme expedition in the wild. It requires a brave heart to try out, it needs intensive collaboration, it also calls for sufficient knowledge.  However, these are just necessary conditions for both scientific research and mountaineering, but not sufficient ones. After a deep dive into mountaineering and research, I think the keys are smart cognition, self-motivation with a great will to reach the final peak⛰️. (Shot in Shaanxi, 2018, 3750m)

Bouldering is a form of free climbing that is performed on small rock formations or artificial rock walls without the use of ropes or harnesses. This does not necessarily require great strength, on the other hand, this typically needs a specific technique that fits oneself, regardless of gender, race, age, height, weight, and strength. One shall not exactly follow other's every rock holds and movement, they have to develop their own pace and route, making the most of their body‘s flexibility and swiftness.  (Tokyo, 2019 winter)

An exciting competition with many talented classmates and amazing alumni. Won the medal within 1000 participants.😄

Influenced by Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, I used to be crazy about marathons.  It taught me the spirit of perseverance and trying out new things.  Just like Stephen King noted: You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.  (SYSU, Dec/7/2019)
