沖奥如登峰，祝北京冬奥会圆满成功，愿运动员都取得自己理想的成绩，战胜自我，超越梦想！

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，带着家乡的旗帜成功登顶世界最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰。而在登峰的另一面，周和平是北京巴龙机电科技有限公司的总经理，面对世界500强企业的客户之余，周和平十分喜欢运动，年过半百后尤爱登山。攀登是一项循序渐进的运动，十几年登山路走过来，在成功攀登了海拔8201米的卓奥友峰后，攀登珠峰对于周和平来说成为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险。荣耀的背后，是日夜的坚持和不惧的挑战。

China Textile：您是什么时候开始从事登山的？

周和平：我从2008年开始真正意义的登山到现在已经有14年了，这里的登山指专业登山，即雪线以上独立山峰的攀登。我基本每年都要参加一些登山活动，特别喜欢攀登过程中的磨砺，以及与山友们一起攀登中的相互鼓励、团结协作，这也促使自己平日保持良好的体能训练。

China Textile：您从事登山活动最大的收获是什么？

周和平：登山的最大收获就是经过了千辛万苦，达到自己设定的目标，这是努力奋斗所收获的成就感。这种战胜困难、达成目标的过程和我们生活、学习、工作的过程一样，经过众多艰苦的历练以后，在生活的过程再遇到一些挫折、困难，都觉得不是什么事儿了。经营企业时中也会遇到很多痛苦和挑战，比如市场开拓问题、资金问题、产品问题，以及人员管理问题等，都会遇到很多棘手的事情，但这些事情相较于攀登中的困难和危险，都变成了很小的问题。

China Textile：有没有什么刻骨铭心的事？

周和平：最刻骨铭心的事情就是“上山容易下山难”，攀登后的下撤过程几乎就是直面死亡、同死神交手的过程。大多数攀登珠峰没有回来的人都是在下撤过程中出现问题的。所以攀登前的准备十分重要。首先是，体能和意志的准备。对一个攀登者来说，珠峰意味着光荣与梦想，危险和死亡。长时间的高原反应（缺氧）和漫长的等待（攀登窗口期），这个过程本身就是对身体和意志的一个锻炼。所以一旦决定了去，就需要提前半年做体能训练，思考遇到困难和危险时应该如何面对，另一方面，物资和装备的准备也非常重要。

China Textile：您如何看待运动的意义？您觉得冰雪运动与登珠峰有什么相似之处吗？

周和平：冰雪运动的范围非常广泛，一般意义的冰雪运动是适合大众参与的，各个运动项目有各个项目的乐趣。多参与体育运动本身就有两个方面的收获：快乐和强身，北京冬奥运可以呼吁更多的人在冬季参与到冰雪运动中来。从国家层面来说，可以推动我国冰雪运动快速进步和全民健身广泛开展，展现国家形象、促进国家发展、振奋民族精神；对个体来说，体育运动不但强健身体还可以丰富自己的人生，何乐而不为呢？如果喜欢又有条件，尝试攀登雪山也是无比快乐的。

China Textile：2022年冬奥会即将开始，您觉得奥林匹克运动精神对您的生活和事业有哪些启示？

周和平：奥林匹克的运动精神就是更快、更高、更强！对于企业来说，也是一样的。要达到“更快、更高、更强”的目标，——就必须在日常的工作和生活中努力沉淀，持之以恒的坚持目标不动摇，不怕困难，才可以达到光辉的顶点。

未来，周和平的登山计划是挑战“7+2”。“7+2”指的是攀登七大洲的最高峰，并徒步到达南北两极点的极限探险活动。这9个点涵盖了地球上各个坐标系的极点，代表着极限探险的最高境界。从登峰的决定、登山的准备到攀登过程中经历的种种考验、登顶后的深切感悟，周和平对运动的不懈追求，以及始终不改的家国情怀令人感动。这正和奥林匹克“更快、更高、更强”的精神高度相契，也告诉我们，要想实现自己的梦想，一定要有敢于实践的勇气和坚韧不拔的毅力，唯有这样，才能不断超越自我，向着更为高远的目标奔去。

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.
