Everyone was saying, you are heroes, this is an amazing accomplishment.
It felt pretty good at the time, but the next day I felt a bit negative about it.
I felt this isn't the kind of life I want.
We didn't want any fame.
All we wanted was to try to help people understand its history.
We wanted to walk our own path and keep our feet firmly on the ground.
After their initial expedition, Yao Huidong and the team went back, along the extra parts of the wall and adjoining fortifications, almost another 2,000 kilometres.
Since then, he's devoted his life to studying and preserving the wall, which is now one of the most visited attractions in the country.
Even the new parts of it are 500 or 600 years old, but it dates back more than 2,000 years.
A human's life lasts only a few decades.
I feel very proud that I've devoted my life to something that will live on far beyond my own years.

He was speaking to Rebecca Kesby in 2017.

But on that day, penalties were the last thing on people's minds.
