To mark the thirtieth anniversary of the normalization of bilateral relations China and Japan, in October 2002, eleven fearless women, five from the China Tibet Mountaineering Association and six from the Japanese Alpine Club, for the first time agreed to leave together to conquer an 8000m peack. Mount Cho Oyu, 8,201 metres high. Despite their linguistic, cultual and social differences, these resolute and determined climbers gradually established a solid relationship and braved the ascent to reach the top of Mount Cho Oyu.
