Xia Boyu, a legless man who climbed Mount Everest, became the Torchbearer for the Winter Paralympics

Today, the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games “Fire of Peace” fire collection ceremony was held at the Badaling Ancient Great Wall. At the fire collection site, one Chinese and four foreigners represented the five continents, expressed their prayers for world peace with dance, and ignited the fire of peace together. Xia Boyu, a member of the Chinese Mountaineering Association and the first person with physical disabilities to climb Mount Everest, served as the torchbearer of the Winter Paralympic Games. Xia Boyu had both lower legs amputated when he helped his teammates and suffered frostbite while climbing Mount Everest in 1975.
