On the evening of February 4, Huang Lifei, a 22-year-old Chinese girl, embarked on a hike to Bald Mountain alone. However, by 11 p.m., she had not been heard from and her family became anxious. Her disappearance caused widespread concern in society, however, it was not until 6 days later that she was found with the help of drones. Unfortunately, by the time she was found, she had lost all traces of her life.
The young girl, described by her family as a veteran who loves the outdoors, often goes up the mountain or skies alone in the early hours of the morning, and always returns safely. However, this time it was missed, which made people sigh.
The timeline of events reveals the whole story of the tragedy:
The beginning of a lonely hike
At 2 p.m. on February 4, Huang Lifei drove alone to Bald Mountain, expecting to relax and decompress. However, her plans did not go as expected. Until 11 p.m., she still didn't hear anything, and her family became worried and reported it to **. However, she had previously posted some ** on her social account around 3 p.m., showing that she was still on her way.
The brutality of the weather
Huang Lifei was hit by a snowstorm during her hike, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Her cell phone was last signaled at around 4 p.m. At that time, Bald Mountain was hit by a storm and its thickness reached 6096 cm, and the cell phone signal disappeared with it. It is speculated that she may have been aware of the danger and tried to signal for help, but the bad weather prevented her from receiving outside help.
The helplessness of the rescue
The authorities were unable to immediately launch a search and rescue operation due to bad weather. It was not until Monday, February 5, that professionals were dispatched. However, although the search and rescue team began the search at 2 a.m., they have not been able to find any trace of Huang Lifei. Location showed she was located next to Lytlecreek in Bald Mountain, but search and rescue efforts continued.
The threat of avalanches
On Tuesday (6 February), an avalanche occurred at Bald Mountain, forcing rescue teams to retreat. This incident further exacerbated the suspense of Huang Lifei's fate.
Finding and Misfortune
Until Wednesday, rescue teams found Huang Lifei's vehicle, hat and other items, but no news of her person has been obtained. It wasn't until Saturday, through a drone, that her body was found. However, due to the weather, it was not possible to bring her back immediately.
Preliminary determination of the cause of death
Although the official cause of death has not been announced, it is preliminarily judged from the timeline that Huang Lifei froze to death. The specific cause of death still needs to be determined by the relevant authorities.
This incident is a profound warning for all those who care about the safety of outdoor activities. The power of nature is immeasurable, and we must revere and respect it. Huang Lifei's loss not only grieved her family, but also made people more aware of the dangers of outdoor adventures. I hope that her misfortune can arouse more people's awe of life and the importance of safety.
