Freshman offered free tickets to China’s four famous mountains

Authorities at Mount Heng in Hengyang, central China’s Hunan province, announced on Saturday that they will offer free tickets to a freshman for helping a tourist who was in danger while climbing Mount Hua in northwest China’s Shaanxi province. China during this year’s National Day holiday. .

Zhu Wei, a freshman at Xiangyang Automotive Vocational Technical College in Hunan, bought 15 train tickets to embark on his courageous journey of climbing the country’s Five Great Mountains in five days during the National Day holiday.

The Five Great Mountains of China include Mount Tai in Shandong Province, Mount Hua in Shaanxi Province, Mount Song in Henan Province, Mount Heng in Shanxi Province, and Mount Heng in Hunan.

However, his journey took a drastic turn on the first leg when he climbed Mount Hua at around 7am on October 1 and a tourist, Li Han, suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Zhu contacted Li’s family and helped him get to the hospital with the help of staff at the scenic spot. Zhu offered an advance of 1,500 yuan ($210.92) for Li’s medical expenses and accompanied him all the way to medical treatment at the hospital until Li’s family arrived later in the afternoon.

However, Zhu missed the train to another scenic spot and therefore had to abandon his daring journey of climbing the five famous mountains and was refunded for the remaining 12 train tickets.

After learning that Zhu was a college student, Li Han’s brother Li Chun went to Zhu’s college and visited him on October 14 to convey his gratitude by presenting him a banner for saving his brother’s life.

To honor Zhu’s bravery, other scenic areas in the Five Great Mountains have also announced their intention to provide Zhu with free tickets to support him in completing his Five Great Mountains hiking challenge.

Zhu said he may continue the challenge during the upcoming winter break.
