一九九三年八月的某个日子刻在我生命年轮上已有许久。那一天我们全家在战友陪同下驱车前往祖籍安徽枞阳县的麒麟镇,拜祭故去的家父。一路上我都在告诉女儿婧婧,她的爷爷一生如何乐于助人、尤其对周围的普通穷苦人如何事事关怀体贴,而他自己的生活跟穷苦的百姓并没有什么两样,唯一不同的是——他曾经是一位在战火中搏击过的军人。这个身份让他老人家一辈子都在无形中肩负了一份责任,对乡邻、对大众力行着数不完的节操,也赢得无数的尊敬与怀念。那些生活中的细枝末节,当时的我年纪尚小并不怎么懂得,而今天面对女儿一一回想起来,才觉得那其实是父亲留下来的最为珍贵的遗产。 Someday in August 1993 has been on the verge of my life for a long time. That day my family accompanied by his comrades drove to the ancestral hometown of Kirin, Zongyang County, Anhui Province, worship the deceased father. Along the way, I was telling my daughter Jing Jing how her grandfather’s life was helpful, especially about how the ordinary poor people around him are considerate and considerate. However, his own life is no different from that of poor people. The only difference is that - - He used to be a soldier who had fought in the war. This identity has given his elderly people virtually all his life a responsibility they shoulder to his neighbors and to the general public, and has won countless respect and miss. Those minutiae in my life, when I was still young and not very understanding, but in the face of her daughter one by one in retrospect, I realized that it is actually the most precious legacy left by his father.
