Wugong Mountain | Wugong Mountain

| Wugong Mountain. At Wugong Mountain, I couldn't hear the wind—only the panting of my soul—"
When the heavy backpack bends your spine,
When sweat blurs your vision,
When trembling legs climb the last stone step of Despair Slope...
Suddenly the whole world falls silent.
The howling mountain winds vanish from your ears,
Leaving only the pounding of your heart against your chest,
And the primal panting echoing from the depths of your soul.
"So this is the sound of freedom."
