Reaching the Pinnacle: Exploring the World's Precious Wilderness
At 18, I discovered that entering the wilderness was a form of spiritual liberation, and there was no turning back. Mountaineering and hiking became one of my favorite outdoor activities, and through serendipity, it has also become my current profession.
I love reading, and I believe that entering the wild for any outdoor activity is like opening a book—learning is endless. Taiwan's mountains and forests are as unfathomable as a library with a vast collection.
While walking through the mountains, nature constantly poses questions to me. For anything I don't understand, I learn from seniors or look up information in books and online after coming down, thereby accumulating my mountaineering knowledge. How to enter the wilderness safely is what I care about most. Beyond continuously promoting education, I will also continue to slowly explore wilderness areas around the world during my own adventures, maintaining my physical fitness, with the hope that in 30 years, I can join friends to climb the world's highest peak together!
