The determination of this Chinese student can only be envied. 
So, to understand the essence of the story, here are a couple of interesting facts about the most famous Japanese mountain. This cone-shaped mountain is considered one of the most beautiful in the world among active volcanoes. Yes, yes, despite the fact that the last time Fuji spat lava and ash more than 3 centuries ago, it is still on the list of active. The total height of the mountain is 3776 meters.
So, at an altitude of 3 km they found a half-dead Chinese man with a severe attack of altitude sickness.
Passing climbers called for help, and the victim was evacuated by helicopter to the hospital. The situation, let's say, is ordinary, but this same Chinese man was literally rescued from the same altitude with the same symptoms four days ago.
The question is, why are you climbing for the second time, did you really want to conquer the summit so much? It turns out that it's not that simple, the student climbed the mountain again to find the phone he lost last time. He never found the phone, but he swore and swore that he wouldn't climb the mountain a third time.
Both attempts were made in the off-season of Mount Fuji, when climbers are not recommended to climb the highest peak in Japan. Common sense haunted him, but he was faster.
