"At 13:00 on May 11, 1995, only the
occasional truck along the highway disturbed the calm atop the mountain.
Surveyors Jin Kui and Xiong Wen stood on the road below where they set
up their equipment. They measured the Miaofeng Mountain's height at 86.393
meters (located in the Mentougou District). I (Kong Bu) was in charge of recording each participant's weight: Wang
Shihua, 80kg; Cang Xin, 70kg; Gao Yang, 68kg; Zu Zhou, 65kg; Ma
Zhongren, 65kg; Zhang Huan, 65kg; Ma Liuming, 55kg; Zhang Binbin
(female), 55kg; Duan Yingmei (female), 55kg; Zhu Ming, 46kg. Everyone climbed the mountain, and one by one
the artists shed their clothes. The participants divided into four rows
by ascending weight and then lay on top of each other in the form of a
pyramid. Between 13:26 and 13:38 that afternoon, the surveyors'
measurement of the anonymous mountain was 87.393 meters, precisely one meter
higher than Miaofengshan Mountain. A breeze suddenly blew across the
mountaintop. Looking back on that work today, it seems that the meter that Zhu Ming and
Zhang Huan added to create that anonymous mountain far transcends its
initial significance, because with it he added a layer of deep cultural
significance."
