我作为一个老水兵,和位居党、国家和解放军高层领导的刘华清同志,相差很远很远,但又曾经相距很近。因为他是老革命、老红军、老海军、老领导,也因为他曾经是我们尊敬的导师,是直接领导我们的首长,是我们成长进步的引领者。 As an old sailor, Comrade Liu Huaqing, who is among the top leaders of the party, the state and the People’s Liberation Army, has a long way to go but it was very close. Because he is an old revolutionary, an old Red Army, an old navy and an old leader. Because he was once a revered mentor, he is the leader who leads us directly and is the leader of our progress and progress.
