Chinese amputee takes on a mountain

By Cheng Lu and Ni Yuanjin Xinhua | China Daily | Updated: 2018-05-29 07:17

Xia Boyu, 69, reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, on May 14, seven days after leaving his base camp on the Nepal side of the mountain.

What's remarkable, however, is that Xi has no legs of his own. He's a double amputee.

"I knew I would make it to the top sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to take 43 years," said Xia, who is recovering from frostbite in a Beijing hospital.
