Carried by teenager porter, rescued Croatian climber says Kinabalu ordeal broke his heart

Croatian climber Mauro Persic expressed remorse for the risks he took after being found injured on Mount Kinabalu, where he spent eight days alone.

His rescue, which involved about 40 people, was a humbling experience that highlighted human compassion and kindness.

Persic noted the poignant moment of being carried by a young porter, which underscored the selflessness of the rescuers who provided him with food, companionship, and support.

Despite questioning if the ordeal was worth it, Persic acknowledged witnessing the best of humanity throughout the rescue operation.

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 14 — Croatian climber Mauro Persic has expressed regret over the risks he took after being found injured and alone on Mount Kinabalu for eight days, but said the ordeal strengthened his faith in human compassion.

Persic, 46, said the rescue operation was a humbling experience, particularly when rescuers and porters had to carry him down because he was too weak and injured to continue on his own, Berita Harian reported.

One of the moments that struck him most was being carried by a porter estimated to be about 15 years old.

“One of the porters was so young, perhaps 15 years (old), I could feel each impact of his legs and knees, it broke my heart that I'm contributing to this

“Was it all worth it? I don’t know. Probably not. Broken body. 40 people risking their lives to save one. But still, I’ve seen the very best of humanity showing up these days; generosity, kindness and care,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

He added that rescuers brought him food, chocolate and snacks, gathered around campfires, shared jokes and kept him company while efforts were made to bring him down safely.

The Croatian climber, who was rescued last week in an operation involving multiple agencies, sustained injuries to his right leg and ribs, as well as minor wounds to his hands during the incident.

哥打基纳巴卢，9月14日讯——克罗地亚登山者毛罗·佩尔西奇在基纳巴卢山受伤独自待了八天后，对自己所冒的风险表示后悔，但他表示，这段磨难增强了他对人类同情心的信念。

据《每日新闻》报道，46岁的佩尔西奇表示，救援行动是一次令人谦卑的经历，尤其是当他因身体虚弱和受伤而无法独自继续前进时，救援人员和搬运工不得不把他抬下去。

最令他印象深刻的时刻之一，是被一个估计大约 15 岁的搬运工背着。

“其中一个搬运工年纪太小了，大概只有15岁，我能感觉到他腿和膝盖的每一次撞击，想到自己也参与其中，我的心都碎了。”

“这一切值得吗？我不知道。可能不值得。身体受伤。40个人冒着生命危险救了一个人。但即便如此，这些天我也看到了人性中最美好的一面：慷慨、善良和关怀，”他在Facebook上写道。

他还补充说，救援人员给他带来了食物、巧克力和零食，围坐在篝火旁，和他开玩笑，陪伴他，同时努力将他安全救下。
