The Biggest CHALLENGE of My Life In Taiwan

No! It's f***ing empty! That is f***ing painful bloody hell. Okay, hello everybody, good morning. Welcome back to the channel. Good morning. This is Life in Taiwan with Xiaofei. Some guy. I'm teaching him how to climb mountains today. We're back at the Guguan Qishong, No. 4. I think this is going to be the biggest challenge I've ever faced in Taiwan. What do you reckon? Yeah. Is it up there? You think carrying my ass up is going to be the biggest challenge you've ever faced? Yes, we are at, what's the name of the mountain? We're going to be talking a little bit about challenges and difficulties that we face in Taiwan. And I think this is going to be one of them. So, I think that's enough talking. Let's get on with starting this climb. We've made it up to the first stop. No idea how far we are. But so far, it's just been really steep steps. If you enjoy seeing me struggle, which I think a lot of you sick, sick people do, I think this video should be a must-watch for you. Just want to bring you along. Share the experience of my Guguan Qishong. I am definitely struggling hard. So far, I think we're about a third of the way through. And I really wanted to talk to you about challenges in this video. But this mountain, or this trail, just doesn't stop going up, up and up. There's no flat parts. Very few rest stops. So, yeah. I definitely wasn't exaggerating in that title. This is pretty f***ing bad. But we're not going to give up. I've told Xiaofei, if I try to give up, he cannot let me give up. Whenever I face a difficulty or a pressure or stress or challenge, I just tell myself, William is watching me. And there's no way I can give up. No f***ing way. Are you feeling okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I really was planning on putting beers in my bag, but then I forgot. That would have been epic. Always video. No, we just cut it out. I don't want to say it's ridiculous, because there's people like 50 or 60 years old ahead of me, but I feel like this is almost impossible for me. It's not even a trail. It's like genuine mountain rock climbing. And I'm sure there are people watching this that have climbed way more difficult mountains and difficult challenges laughing at me or think it's hilarious, but for me today, this is the biggest mountain in the world. Holy s***, man. This is definitely the biggest challenge I've set myself so far. And we're not even halfway yet, right? I don't think so. No, I don't think we've covered it. One third. Taiwanese people are so honest. We are at 1.5 kilometers. I heard Alan is going to lose weight. Yeah. I heard Alan is going to lose weight. Alan Jianfei, plus one in the comments section. That right behind me is the two kilometer marker. Two kilometers in distance. Meaning just over a kilometer to go. But a few hundred meters at least in altitude. 1, 3, 3, 4. So we've got elevation 1, 1, 3, 4. 1, 1, 3, 4. OK, that makes sense. Special... What did you call this? Alcohol energy? Let's see if it works. Is it working? Jianfei, how are you feeling? You look like you just woke up. Pretty fresh. I'm going to do it. If this video ends with me not doing this, I'll be ashamed of myself. So... That is f***ing painful. Bloody hell. Crying. It's OK. It's going to be OK. It's going to go away. There she went. Oh, it's deep heat. Oh, that feels so good. Turn around. Bend over. This is by far the funniest thing I've ever filmed. I'm going to f***ing cry, dude. This is rough. Really rough. Just one foot in front of the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. My number one advice to anybody thinking of starting a mountain climbing career, do it with friends. Do it with friends, makes it much easier. Don't try and do it alone, because you'll give up too easy. Yeah, I think we can say we're friends now, officially. 3,000 metres in, 500 metres to go. We've just bumped into a few fans of Xiaofei. Super excited to see you. Yeah, they're great. What did they tell us? They said it was 10 minutes away. Then they looked me up and down and were like... 差不多. Amy's given us the wrap it up sign. Let's get going, or it's going to be 30 minutes. Amy tells us this is the final leg, the last 100 metres of elevation. But this looks like the most difficult part. This looks like an actual climb. Amy, OK? OK, last 150. I am... I am running on empty. Ah! My calf again. My calf muscle just went again. Should I call your mommy? Call mommy. I'm empty. This must be the worst thing to watch. Woo! Ailun! 加油! 加油! 加油! 加油! I'm going to cry. I feel so... You're almost there, man. Ailun, almost there! The first time. That's right. Is this it? Yeah. Yes! Oh, yes! That feels good. Give me a hug, buddy. Thanks, buddy. Oh, my goodness. That was the most difficult thing of everything. Hi, everybody. I'm Xiaofei. I was brought onto this project as an intern. I got pretty lucky because I know Amy, and Amy knew the star of the show, Ailun, and she kind of worked it out for me. I'm not really getting a salary, but this way I get some filming experience, so that's pretty good. I had a few main jobs on this show. So the first one was just to take footage of Ailun as he walked through the forest. And also, I was told it was really important to not let him give up. I was given very explicit instructions that if he says he wants to quit, I'm supposed to convince him not to quit, or push him somehow, or smack him, make him angry, some sort of things. I found that actually just giving him candy was really the most effective way to get him going again. And, yeah, I hope that this shows up on my resume. Maybe you can get some more camera work out of it. And really enjoy the experience. At first, Ailun was taking it pretty easy. He had a negative experience, I think, on the first half kilometer of his previous hike, so he was much smarter about it. He was going up quite steady and quite strong. But I think by the last 500 meters, he was really starting to feel it a bit. But, I'm sure in editing, they'll cut all that out, and they'll make it look like he did it very strongly. But, yeah, good for him. You know, he made it. I think we all, Ailun deserves a hand. And I'm not just saying it, because he's my boss on this project. Maybe subscribe and comment. And also, I have a channel too. And we'll see you next time. That's great, Xiaofei. Now go get me a cup of tea. Yes, boss!
