LIFE AND DEATH
Travelling has been their life for the past three years, but they have been constantly reminded of their mortality.
At Marum volcano, acid rain ruined their communication equipment. Zhang had climbed to within 300 meters of the scorching magma lake, when he lost contact with his wife and teammates at the top. At that time, Liang said to others, "If anything happens to Zhang, I will not leave without him."
Zhang only once thought of giving up when their boat hit a storm in 2013. Liang, violently seasick, could not stop crying and vomiting.
Zhang could not bear to see her suffer, and considered ending their journey, but Liang said firmly "Go on! How can we give up halfway?"
Liang says Zhang's companionship helped her overcome all difficulties.
They never think about traveling separately. They believe in sharing their adventures together.
