A miracle creator who has crossed the line between life and death! 25 heart-stirring true stories, a selected column from the U.S. National Geographic magazine, and a highlight show for the U.S. Discovery Channel. The U.S. West Point Military Academy and the British Royal Forces use stories from this book as typical cases for wilderness survival training and handling emergency situations. Driven by the desire for life, with super strong willpower, tenacious perseverance, and a clever mind, they cross the line between life and death, defeating death.
The "Survivor" recorded by the U.S. Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) was a globally sensational super TV show, causing major chaos in American summer life. It had 70 million viewers glued to their TV screens, eagerly discussing the show without leaving home. It led to a significant drop in U.S. box office revenues during the most important summer season. It sparked a global trend of "reality TV."
The greatest charm of "Survivor" lies in having no director, no script—everything is faced by real people in real challenges, an appeal that no Hollywood blockbuster can match.
Under the lure of a million dollars, "Survivor" created a virtual yet realistic space where a group of people portrayed a condensed, dramatic life—16 American men and women competitors on a deserted island, competing in a "survival of the fittest" manner for 39 days, with the final "survivor" winning a million-dollar prize.
This book is a completely different take on "Survivor," written after extensive research, interviews, and the review of a vast amount of materials. It introduces several stories of people who, driven by the desire for life, with super strong willpower, tenacious perseverance, and a clever mind, crossed the line between life and death and defeated death.
