The well-known "bikini hiker" Wu Jiyun tragically died of hypothermia after falling into a valley while climbing the Central Mountain Range alone, sparking widespread debate. Some criticized her for wasting national resources, while others made snide remarks about her bikini-clad summit photos. Gái Cờ (Cai Rixing), a veteran mountaineer who knew her, couldn’t hold back and lashed out: “These lecherous, self-righteous loudmouths—what exactly are they, spouting all this nonsense?” “A bunch of perverts who have no idea what kind of preparations she had made.”
Nicknamed “G哥,” Wu Jiyun became famous for taking bikini-clad summit photos during her climbs of Taiwan’s 100 Peaks. On the 11th, she set off to solo climb the “Mabu Traverse” route in Yushan National Park. On the 19th, while descending from Penchiushan Mountain toward the Wushuang Village section, she unfortunately fell 20 to 30 meters into a valley. Although she called for help via satellite phone, rescuers found her dead from hypothermia when they reached her on the 21st.
After news of Wu Jiyun’s fall spread, some online critics accused her of taking bikini summit photos just to “seek fame” or “show off her body.” Gái Cờ (Cai Rixing), a veteran mountaineer and admin of the Facebook group "Demon Realm Bear Mountaineers," couldn’t stand by and posted on Facebook to “call out those annoying loudmouths.”
Cai Rixing said, “Compared to the humble, low-key, and talented G哥, what exactly are these lecherous, self-righteous loudmouths, going on and on about nonsense?” “She wasn’t showing it for you. If G哥 were to release a calendar, these perverts would still rush to buy it.”
“Old men think they can lecture her, thinking it makes them look macho. Some women dislike her, thinking she shows off her body with ulterior motives. But she doesn’t care—she just does her own thing, occasionally complaining a bit, and talking about how perverts harass her.”
Cai Rixing said, “Some fellow hikers can tell she’s different. The places she goes are different, the knowledge she has is different, and even the photos she casually shares are different. Aside from those special photos, her vibe is exactly what you’d expect from someone who truly loves the mountains.” “Compared to those who flaunt themselves without any real substance, she really makes you feel she’s more worthy of sharing everything about the mountains with.”
Cai Rixing stated, “It’s not that she shouldn’t be scrutinized, and it’s not that ‘respect for the deceased’ means sweeping everything under the rug. But a bunch of perverts who don’t understand her preparations just want to act macho and give advice. I don’t know who should be advising whom or who should be scrutinizing whom.”
