The team members were Liu Lianman, Qu Yinhua, Gong Bu and Wang Fuzhou.
The story happened on 24 May and 25 May 1960.
Yes, they did succeed in the end. They reached the top of the towering mountain at 4:20 am on 25 May 1960.
Liu Lianman tried four times to climb, but failed. He was too weak to try again, so he chose to be a “human ladder” and helped his teammates climb to the top.
Liu was too tired to keep going, but the team had to carry on.
The other team members gave Liu all their oxygen and made every effort through the cold and dark.
Complete the table about the story
1. What is the “roof of the world”?
The “roof of the world” refers to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Answer the questions
2. What does the writer mean by “human ladder”?
“Human ladder” means Liu Lianman let his teammates stand on his shoulders so they could climb up.
Answer the questions
1. What kind of person do you think Liu Lianman was? What role did he play in his team?
I think Liu Lianman was selfless, strong and brave. He tried many times to climb the last few metres of the Second Step, even when he was tired and weak. When he couldn’t go on, he helped his teammates by becoming a “human ladder”. He gave up his own chance to reach the top so that his team could succeed. This shows he cared more about the team than himself, and he never gave up easily. He played a key role in his team. He was a helper and supporter.

2. Do you think the four climbers made a great team? Why or why not?
Yes, they made a great team. They supported each other, shared responsibilities and worked together to overcome challenges, even in life-threatening situations.
Think and share
What is the meaning of the title?
The title is a clever play on words. It suggests that in a team, everyone should focus on helping the whole group succeed, not just on their own success.
