2023 is the year with the highest number of deaths in Everest mountain disasters. Wang Nan, a mountaineering enthusiast from mainland China, almost became a permanent guest on the mountain in May this year. After he returned to China to recover from his injury, he accused the guide of leaving the mountain after climbing Mount Everest. Someone lost his bag, so he had to climb down alone without oxygen for two days before he was out of danger.
According to mainland media reports, Wang Nan, who is the head of a company in Shanghai, spent more than 700,000 yuan (approximately NT$3.08 million) planning to climb Mount Everest and then climb another peak. How did he know that on May 17? Something unexpected happened on the day of the climb. When Mr. Wang climbed over the South Peak, he found that his oxygen bottle was exhausted, but 2 of the 3 spare bottles prepared by the guide “leaked so much that the sound could be heard.” The two had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb to the top. The photo was taken the next morning. Evacuate immediately after taking the photo.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Nan climbed over the South Peak again, he first found that the oxygen was exhausted again, and then he was shocked to realize that the guide walking in front suddenly disappeared. The chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by lack of oxygen also made him incapable of movement. From the documentary videos of other groups of Chinese climbers, it can be seen that Mr. Wang was sitting on the snow alone and breathing heavily. When the other party asked, he discovered that he had been sitting there all afternoon and quickly contacted the nearby camp through the intercom; another lawyer surnamed Chen Seeing that he was unable to move, the climber kindly took off his mask and allowed Mr. Wang to take a few breaths of oxygen.

Wang Nan later said frankly, “Many people on the road said I was going to die.” Some people asked him to wait for rescue, but his intuition told him: “Can’t wait any longer, save yourself!” He began to crawl, sit down, and roll. While waiting to go down the mountain, I accidentally hit my head hard. Fortunately, my helmet saved my head. Although Wang Nan knew that no one would take the initiative to help him and he did not want to ask for help, when he saw a guide later, he still called him several times.
However, the other party did not respond, and turned and left after kneeling to his oxygen backpack. When he met his guide later, he actually threw his helmet, snow goggles, and gloves down the mountain and disappeared. When they met again, his headlamp was taken away. However, Wang Nan was “numb” about this and had no feeling of joy or anger. , but fortunately, a kind guide gave him oxygen equipment before he could continue down the mountain. But Wang Nan was reunited with the guide again. On the way back to the camp, the guide threw away his bag and had his sleeping bag stolen. It was not until the morning of the 20th that he arrived at the camp with his frostbitten left foot and dehydrated body.
In this regard, the Nepalese company responsible for this mountaineering claimed that Wang Nan’s guide had never given up on clients. Wang Nan may have had memory confusion due to cerebral edema. He also claimed that the guide had vision problems at the time. This made Wang Nan dissatisfied and said, “I still have high mountain cerebral edema. Can you go down the mountain by yourself? The guide has an eye problem and can still run faster than me. Is this logical?” He angrily accused the mountaineering company of shirking responsibility, emphasizing that more than 200 climbers who had seen him go down the mountain could testify.
