I was born with vision (视力) problem, and over the years, my eyesight gradually worsened. Once I was in the first year of my PHD, I was almost 100% blind.
Though I am blind, my great passion is climbing regardless of many challenges.
I started climbing when I was young. My dad took me up my first rock route when I was two. He taught me everything he knew and I led my first route outside when I was 11. At that time I had about 20% vision, unable to pick out the routes from the ground.
I met my wife Molly at a climbing club. We didn’t climb together very much because we normally led those who hadn’t done as much as we had. We were just friends at first, but eventually romance (浪漫) arose.
In fact, I proposed (求婚) to her in 2017 on a climbing trip to Greenland. It was my most difficult trip, camping in temperatures below -200C.I didn’t have diamond ring at that time.
In the end I went down on one knee with a special ring made by myself. She said yes, but then I fell down and somehow dropped the ring. So it’s still there!
It’s quite possible that I wouldn’t be a good climber if I weren’t blind—if I didn’t have these challenges. It wouldn’t focus me. That determination is built through my disability.

It was a warm and sunny morning at the Central Park Zoo. Mary and her classmates were chatting noisily with excitement as their school bus entered the zoo parking lot. Today, Mary’s class was going on a field trip to the zoo to learn more about the animals and their natural habitats.
“Before you leave the bus, please make sure you have your partner!” Mrs. Brown announced. To make sure no one got lost in the zoo, each student had a companion. Mary’s companion was named John. John loves animals and was also excited to go to the zoo. But sometimes, John does not follow the rules and gets in trouble. Mary hoped that today, John would follow the rules so they would not get in trouble.
While the rest of the students got off the bus, Mary and John quickly ran off to explore. They found the exhibits for many different kinds of animals and learned a lot about their natural habitats. They saw the elephants playing and they saw giraffes eating. They saw the polar bears sleeping and the monkeys leaping. Mary asked John:
“John, what is your favorite animal ”
“I think I like chimpanzees best. They have a lot of energy, just like me! What animal do you like, Mary ”
“I love polar bears! I think their lifestyle in the Arctic is very interesting.”
A few hours later, Mary and John started to feel hungry. They made their way back to the zoo entrance to eat lunch at the Rainforest Café.

The restaurant is also famous for its chocolate cake, which Mary ordered for dessert after they had finished their lunch.
As Mary was finishing her cake, John excused himself to go to the restroom. About ten minutes later, an suddenly alarm began to go off and a voice came over the loudspeaker,
