登峰人周和平：了不起的奧林匹克精神

沖奧如登峰，祝北京冬奧會圓滿成功，愿運動員都取得自己理想的成績，戰勝自我，超越夢想！

I wish the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games a complete success and hope the athletes can achieve their ideal results， conquer themselves and surpass the dreams.

2019年5月23日，四川江油人周和平，帶著家鄉的旗幟成功登頂世界最高峰——珠穆朗瑪峰。而在登峰的另一面，周和平是北京巴龍機電科技有限公司的總經理，面對世界500強企業的客戶之余，周和平十分喜歡運動，年過半百后尤愛登山。攀登是一項循序漸進的運動，十幾年登山路走過來，在成功攀登了海拔8201米的卓奧友峰后，攀登珠峰對于周和平來說成為了件水到渠成的事情。然而八千多米的山峰，每增加一米就增加一分危險。榮耀的背后，是日夜的堅持和不懼的挑戰。

China Textile：您是什么時候開始從事登山的？

周和平：我從2008年開始真正意義的登山到現在已經有14年了，這里的登山指專業登山，即雪線以上獨立山峰的攀登。我基本每年都要參加一些登山活動，特別喜歡攀登過程中的磨礪，以及與山友們一起攀登中的相互鼓勵、團結協作，這也促使自己平日保持良好的體能訓練。

China Textile：您從事登山活動最大的收獲是什么？

周和平：登山的最大收獲就是經過了千辛萬苦，達到自己設定的目標，這是努力奮斗所收獲的成就感。這種戰勝困難、達成目標的過程和我們生活、學習、工作的過程一樣，經過眾多艱苦的歷練以后，在生活的過程再遇到一些挫折、困難，都覺得不是什么事兒了。經營企業時中也會遇到很多痛苦和挑戰，比如市場開拓問題、資金問題、產品問題，以及人員管理問題等，都會遇到很多棘手的事情，但這些事情相較于攀登中的困難和危險，都變成了很小的問題。

China Textile：有沒有什么刻骨銘心的事？

周和平：最刻骨銘心的事情就是“上山容易下山難”，攀登后的下撤過程幾乎就是直面死亡、同死神交手的過程。大多數攀登珠峰沒有回來的人都是在下撤過程中出現問題的。所以攀登前的準備十分重要。首先是，體能和意志的準備。對一個攀登者來說，珠峰意味著光榮與夢想，危險和死亡。長時間的高原反應（缺氧）和漫長的等待（攀登窗口期），這個過程本身就是對身體和意志的一個鍛煉。所以一旦決定了去，就需要提前半年做體能訓練，思考遇到困難和危險時應該如何面對，另一方面，物資和裝備的準備也非常重要。

China Textile：您如何看待運動的意義？您覺得冰雪運動與登珠峰有什么相似之處嗎？

周和平：冰雪運動的范圍非常廣泛，一般意義的冰雪運動是適合大眾參與的，各個運動項目有各個項目的樂趣。多參與體育運動本身就有兩個方面的收獲：快樂和強身，北京冬奧運可以呼吁更多的人在冬季參與到冰雪運動中來。從國家層面來說，可以推動我國冰雪運動快速進步和全民健身廣泛開展，展現國家形象、促進國家發展、振奮民族精神；對個體來說，體育運動不但強健身體還可以豐富自己的人生，何樂而不為呢？如果喜歡又有條件，嘗試攀登雪山也是無比快樂的。

China Textile：2022年冬奧會即將開始，您覺得奧林匹克運動精神對您的生活和事業有哪些啟示？

周和平：奧林匹克的運動精神就是更快、更高、更強！對于企業來說，也是一樣的。要達到“更快、更高、更強”的目標，——就必須在日常的工作和生活中努力沉淀，持之以恒的堅持目標不動搖，不怕困難，才可以達到光輝的頂點。

未來，周和平的登山計劃是挑戰“7+2”。“7+2”指的是攀登七大洲的最高峰，并徒步到達南北兩極點的極限探險活動。這9個點涵蓋了地球上各個坐標系的極點，代表著極限探險的最高境界。從登峰的決定、登山的準備到攀登過程中經歷的種種考驗、登頂后的深切感悟，周和平對運動的不懈追求，以及始終不改的家國情懷令人感動。這正和奧林匹克“更快、更高、更強”的精神高度相契，也告訴我們，要想實現自己的夢想，一定要有敢于實踐的勇氣和堅韌不拔的毅力，唯有這樣，才能不斷超越自我，向著更為高遠的目標奔去。

Mr. Zhou Heping， from Jiangyou， Sichuan Province， climbed the world’s highest peak， Mount Qomolangma on May 23， 2019. Zhou Heping is the general manager of Beijing Balong Mechanical and Electrical Technology Co.， LTD. Zhou Heping is very fond of sports， especially mountaineering after the age of 50. Climbing is a sport that involves rising to a higher point. After successfully scaling the 8，201-meter Cho Oyu， climbing Qomolangma came naturally to Zhou. However， the danger increases as the mountain goes every meter higher. Behind the glory， there are days and nights of persistence and fearless challenges.

China Textile： When did you start mountaineering？

Zhou Heping： It has been 14 years since I started mountaineering in 2008. Mountaineering here refers to professional mountaineering， which means climbing independent mountains above the snow line. I usually take part in some mountaineering activities every year. I mainly like the experience in climbing and the process of mutual encouragement and cooperation among mountain friends， which also urges me to maintain good physical training on weekdays.

China Textile： What is your biggest gain from mountaineering？

Zhou Heping： The greatest achievement of mountaineering is to reach the goal set by oneself after many hardships. This is the sense of achievement gained from hard work. The process of overcoming difficulties and achieving goals is the same as the process in life， study and work. After so hard experience， it is nothing to encounter some setbacks and difficulties in the process of life. There are also a lot of pains and challenges in running a business， such as market development， capital， product and personnel management， etc. There are a lot of thorny things every day， but these things become small problems compared to the difficulties and dangers in climbing.

China Textile： What preparations have you made for climbing Mount Everest？ Is there anything that sticks in your mind？

Zhou Heping： The most unforgettable thing is that it is easier to go up the mountain than down the mountain.The process of going down the mountain is almost the process of facing death and fighting with death. People who clime mountains and never come back have problems mostly on the way down. So preparation before climbing is very important. First， physical and mental preparation. To a climber， Everest means glory and dream， danger and death. Long altitude sickness （lack of oxygen） and long waiting （climbing window）， the process itself is a physical and mental exercise. Therefore， once you decide to go， you need to do physical training half a year in advance and think about how to face difficulties and dangers. On the other hand， the preparation of materials and equipment is also very important.

China Textile： How do you view the significance of sports？ Do you see any similarities between snow sports and climbing Mount Everest？

Zhou Heping： The range of ice and snow sports is very wide. The general sense of ice and snow sports is suitable for the public participation. Each sport has its own fun. More participation in sports itself has two benefits： happiness and to keep fit， the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games for more people to participate in winter sports. At the national level， it can promote the rapid progress of winter sports and the widespread development of national fitness， show the national image， promote the national development， and inspire the national spirit. For individuals， sports can not only strengthen their body but also enrich their life. Why not？ If you like it and have supports， trying to climb snow mountain is also very happy.

China Textile： The Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games is coming. What inspiration do you think the Olympic spirit has for your life and career？

Zhou Heping： The Olympic spirit is Faster， Higher and Stronger！ Enterprise development also needs the spiritual pursuit. To achieve the goal of Faster， Higher and Stronger， we must work hard in daily work and life， persevere in the goal， do not waver， not afraid of difficulties， and can achieve outstanding results.

In the future， Zhou’s plan is to challenge the “7+2”.“7+2” refers to an extreme adventure that involves climbing the highest peaks of the seven continents and hiking to the North and South Poles. These nine points cover the poles of every coordinate system on earth and represent the pinnacle of extreme exploration. From the decision of climbing the mountain， the preparation of climbing the mountain， the various tests experienced in climbing the mountain， the deep feeling after climbing the mountain， Zhou Heping’s unremitting pursuit of sports， as well as the unchanging feelings of family and country are touching. This is consistent with the Olympic spirit of Faster， Higher and Stronger， but also tells us that if we want to realize our dreams， we must have the courage to practice and indomitable perseverance， only in this way， can we constantly surpass ourselves and run towards a higher goal.
