Why didn't the first climber leave video evidence?

The climbers reached the summit for the first time, and there was no video evidence, because on the way to the summit, the mountaineering team encountered an avalanche and accidentally lost the camera to rescue their teammates, leaving no video evidence. As a result, the fact of reaching the summit was not recognized by the world, and the knot between the two teammates was difficult to untie.

In the film, the mountaineer Fang Wuzhou had to abandon the camera in order to save his teammate Qu, making Qu complain a lot. From an artistic point of view, this adaptation not only reasonably explains why 1975 has to climb to the top again, but also enriches the characters' images and allows the audience to substitute them into the real hearts of the characters under the grand background of the times.

In real history, the China mountaineering team took a camera at that time, but it was too late to shoot when it reached the summit. When I went down the mountain, I took two more pictures at an altitude of 8700 meters, but the shooting technology was not high and the lens was blurred, which was the only film proof left by the success of the summit.

Because no images were taken at the top of the mountain, China's view of climbing to the north slope was not accepted internationally, and the director laid the groundwork for it from the beginning of the film. In "The Climber", the Soviet mountaineering coach sent a letter asking why China athletes didn't leave video materials, which restored the storm of public opinion at that time.

Historical background of climbers:

The Climbers is based on real historical events. In 1960s, in order to show China's national strength and self-confidence, the China government was ordered by the state to organize personnel to climb Mount Everest. A mountain peak over 8800 meters above sea level. This is a challenge to the limits of mankind.

China climbed Mount Everest for the first time in the most tense years of the Cold War. India took the opportunity to constantly interfere in China's internal affairs and has territorial ambitions for China. After the Sino-Soviet break, China, facing great economic difficulties, declared its ability to solve problems independently and overcome difficulties on its own.

The mountaineering team is defended by 150 troops, and all members of the mountaineering team carry guns for self-defense, because just before the mountaineering operation, a group of PLA medical staff were attacked and killed by bandits. During the brewing of Dengfeng, China was negotiating with the Nepalese border. China proposed to share Mount Everest equally, while Nepalese laughed at China for not climbing Mount Everest.

In order to defend the dignity and territorial integrity of China, the mountaineering team relies on tenacious spiritual strength. Despite being hit hard by bad weather and accidents, three members of the mountaineering team successfully achieved the miracle that human beings climbed the north slope of Mount Everest for the first time, climbed Mount Everest at night for the first time and climbed Mount Everest 14 hour for the first time without oxygen.
