The mainland documentary film *One-Fourteenth* held a press conference in Changsha on the 28th. This film will focus on Luo Jing, known as the “first female civilian mountaineer,” and tell the story of her decade-long climbing career. “The paths I’ve walked, the mountains I’ve climbed, and the people I’ve met have all become part of my blood,” said Luo Jing. She added that true mountaineering isn’t about one or two successes—it’s about the various challenges faced along the way and the growth achieved by overcoming them through effort.
In 2017, Luo Jing was named one of the Top Ten Athletes in China by Xinhua News Agency alongside Sun Yang, and was also selected as a CCTV Sports Personality of the Year alongside Ding Junhui. Her high-altitude mountaineering record has been officially recognized by the internationally authoritative mountaineering website 8000ers, which considers her the first mainland climber with an undisputed full summit record.
*One-Fourteenth* is produced by the Hunan TV Program Center. Yao Wei, the film’s producer, said, “Sports are an important part of human social life, and sports films based on athletic stories are also a vital aspect of filmmaking. *One-Fourteenth*, as a documentary, aims to convey passion and dreams, expressing a Chinese dream filled with Chinese elements through the perspective of Chinese women, Chinese families, and Chinese stories.”
The core filming location of this film is Mount Shishapangma in Tibet, the only one of the world’s 14 peaks over 8,000 meters entirely located within the mainland, and also the highest peak first summited by a mainland climber in 1965. The film will document the entire process of Luo Jing’s climb up Mount Shishapangma in the form of a biographical story.
