2 Chiang Hsiu-chen might make climbing a mountain look easy, but

3 that's far from the truth. She has to put lots of hard work into each climb.

4 For Mount Everest, Chiang trained for a year and a half. She had to carry

5 a bag that weighed 20 kilograms and run for an hour three times a week.

6 But being able to reach the top is not only about training; it's also

7 about luck. For example, in 2007, she ran into bad weather while she

8 was climbing the highest mountain in South America. She almost died.

9 However, these challenges didn't stop her. "They made me much

10 stronger," she said, "I know myself better thanks to these challenges."

11 Today, Chiang Hsiu-chen talks about her experiences at schools.

12 By doing so, she hopes to not only promote mountain climbing but also

13 help people to find the joy of climbing the mountain of life.
