She Was Dying on Everest. He Saved Her. She Underpaid Him.

Video Description

It was May 18th, 2023, and Fan Jiangtao was climbing toward the summit of Mount Everest when he made a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life. At 27,900 feet above sea level, in one of the most dangerous places on Earth, Fan encountered something that forced him to make an impossible choice: save a strange woman he didn’t know stranded in the death zone, or go on with his summit that he paid tens of thousands of dollars for. What he did will shock you, but what SHE did sparked a controversy that divided China, generated 300 million views on social media, and revealed something deeply disturbing about modern mountaineering.
