Love at Its Deepest Is a Strength
我对他的记忆，开始于一张老照片。
My memory of him began with an old photograph.
那张照片上的他，与众不同。
There was something different about him in that picture.
他的目光温和，不带威严，却自有一种令人安心的力量。
His eyes were gentle—not imposing, yet deeply reassuring.
他嘴角含着一抹慈祥的微笑，
A faint, kind smile touched the corners of his lips.
站在亲人身旁，身姿挺拔，身着整洁的中山装，
Standing beside family, upright and dignified in his Zhongshan suit,
不像一个遥远的伟人，更像一个静静守护我们的家人。
he didn’t look like a distant leader, but a quiet guardian of the home.
小时候的我不懂责任、不懂担当，
As a child, I knew nothing of responsibility or devotion,
却在那张照片前，常常仰头凝望，
yet I often looked up at that photo with wonder.
仿佛他真的住在我们家，默默看着我们，什么都知道，什么也不说。
It felt as if he lived with us, silently watching, understanding everything, saying nothing.
那是一种被注视、被理解、被守护的感觉——
It was the feeling of being seen, understood, and protected—
虽然无言，却真实存在。
wordless, yet profoundly real.
后来，我在收音机里听到他的名字，
Later, I heard his name on the radio—
那声音沉稳、平和，像一座山。
a calm, steady voice, like a mountain.
再后来，是黑白电视里的影像：
Then came his images on black-and-white television:
他在人群中行走，说话不多，却句句让人信服。
walking among the people, speaking little, yet always with quiet conviction.
他从未试图“感动我们”，但他的一举一动，总能“唤醒我们”。
He never sought to move us, but somehow always managed to awaken us.
我开始明白，
I began to understand:
他不是家中一个人的亲人，
He wasn’t just a relative in our household—
他是千千万万人民心中的亲人。
He belonged to millions, held dearly in the hearts of the people.
教科书里有他，
He appeared in textbooks,
历史影像里有他，
in historical films,
但我真正感受到他是在那年站在劳动人民文化宫的队伍里。
but I truly felt his presence when I stood in line at the People’s Cultural Palace.
我们静静排队、静静告别，
We queued in silence, said our farewells in silence—
四周无声，却情感滔滔。
the atmosphere was quiet, but emotion surged like waves.
那一刻我明白，
In that moment I realized:
他不是“离开了”，而是“留在了我们每一个人的心里”。
He hadn’t left us—he had entered each of our hearts.
多年以后，我踏上寻找他足迹的路。
Years later, I began following his footsteps.
我去过很多地方：会议厅、街道、公园、边疆、工地、码头……
I visited meeting halls, city streets, parks, borderlands, work sites, harbors…
我见过许多人，他们眼中流露出熟悉的光——
and met many whose eyes held a familiar light—
那是记得他的人，那是曾经被他照耀过的心。
those who remembered him, those whose hearts had once been warmed by his presence.
我惊讶地发现，
To my surprise,
每到一个地方，总能感受到他的爱，
wherever I went, I could feel his love
与当地人民的爱交织在一起，
woven together with the love of the people there—
一种彼此温暖、彼此守护的力量，
a force of mutual warmth and quiet guardianship,
让我不由自主地感觉：这里，像家一样。
that made me feel, instinctively: this place feels like home.
我终于明白了——
Then I finally understood—
爱到深处，是一种力量。
Love at its deepest is a strength.
不是声音，不是言语，
Not sound, not speech—
而是你在人生最孤单、最迷惘的时候，
but something that finds you at your loneliest, most uncertain hour,
在背后默默支撑你的那双看不见的手。
like unseen hands quietly lifting you from behind.
他不在你面前说什么，
He says nothing from the front,
但他始终在你身后站着，
but always stands behind you,
目光温柔，微笑不语，
with gentle eyes and a silent smile—
像那张挂在墙上的老照片——
like that old photo hanging on the wall—
沉默，却充满力量。
silent, yet filled with strength.
来芳曰 | Laifang’s Note
真正的爱，不是要你回头看他，
而是让你安心地继续走下去。
True love doesn’t ask you to look back,
but gives you peace to keep walking forward.
