<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, Nov. 7th, 2005: The PUMA (<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />

Mountaineering Association) 2005 Sangdankangsang Mission report meeting was<br />

on in the May 4th Center on the evening <strong>of</strong> Nov.4th. Lü Chenfei, the vice Chairman <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>PKU</strong> Youth League, Shi Shanfeng, the director <strong>of</strong> the culture & sport department,<br />

together with the sponsors and the representatives from the other universities<br />

attended the meeting.<br />

The leaders <strong>of</strong> the mountaineering group, Liu Bo and Shan Dan, made a brief review<br />

<strong>of</strong> the entire mission, with the help <strong>of</strong> DV and PPT. The group was established in<br />

April, with 17 members, 3 <strong>of</strong> them girls and 11 with mountaineering experiences.<br />

They had an intense practice for a month and a original simulation in the May<br />

holiday, which greatly enriched the members first-hand experiences, solidified their<br />

skills and thus contributed a lot in the preparations for the real mountaineering in<br />

summer. They set <strong>of</strong>f on the end <strong>of</strong> June and returned safe and sound on the first<br />

day in August from Lhasa, having piloted a new way on a familiar mountain.<br />

According to Liu Bo, the members showed a solid teamwork potential and overcame<br />

the difficulties in the crack zone, and they succeeded in carrying out the mission on<br />

their own. At the same time, they have maintained a nice contact with relating<br />

associations, such as the Tibet Mountaineering Group and Tibet Mountaineering<br />

School.<br />

A handbook has been produced by the members, with the title <strong>of</strong> ―Living like a<br />

Flower,‖ which demonstrates their conclusions and thinking as well as the whole<br />

activity. ―I go because the mountain is standing there.‖ A member thus said in his<br />

application. Such an expedition, for the PUMA members, is not only mountaineering<br />

but also a spiritual pursuit and self-fulfillment. Just as Ouyang Zhoujin, the youngest<br />

member said, ―Mountaineering gives me time to do some real thinking. It is not to<br />

conquer the nature or myself, but to realize a dream and to appreciate the<br />

friendship.‖<br />
