Wang Jing, an extraordinary woman hailed as the "Goddess of the High Mountains" and co-founder of outdoor gear company Toread, will bring her debut book 《Silent Mountains》 to Peking University. Together with the Peking University Mountaineering Association (Mountain Eagle Society), she will share her legendary stories with mountains and her passion for freedom with everyone.

《Silent Mountains》, the first book by the legendary woman Wang Jing (a.k.a. Fei Xue Jing Jing with nearly one million followers on Weibo), recounts her journey from a migrant worker to the co-founder of a publicly traded company, from Fragrant Hills to Mount Everest. She has summited seven 8,000-meter peaks and set foot on the Earth’s three poles. She only began attending school in the county town in junior high, where her “spicy” Mandarin drew laughter from classmates; her first job was waiting tables; at 19, she met the love of her life and co-founded "Toread" with him; she hand-sewed Toread’s very first tent; she carried her own self-developed outdoor gear to Mount Everest ... On Cho Oyu, she faced an avalanche, winds of up to Force 12, and went without food or water for over 20 hours; on Everest, during acclimatization training, she heard the tragic news of two friends dying in an avalanche and questioned, “Will I make it back?”; on Makalu, she swiftly summited in six days, only to face a teammate in danger during descent; on Broad Peak, she made four summit attempts in 23 days, equivalent to climbing one 6,000-meter, two 7,000-meter, and one 8,000-meter peak in a row ... She has set numerous mountaineering records, yet felt heartache upon reaching the summit of Everest; she has a career, family, children, wealth, and honors, but few know her “other side” ... From looking up to looking down, every step she takes is not simple, and every second could be her last. Everest may be high, but it’s just higher than other mountains; the heights life can reach are always beyond imagination. There are many ways to realize one’s life value — as long as you strive to “climb,” surpassing yourself step by step, everyone can reach the peak of their own life.
