Silent Love

Along a mountain road, a handsome young man walks quickly. An older man with a strict face follows him. This scene is from my favorite film, Postmen in the Mountains. It’s a touching story about the love between a father and his son.

For years, the father worked as the postman for this area. He was often away from home, so the son rarely saw him. But now, the son is taking over his father’s job. The father goes with him on his first day of work. Along the way, they start to understand each other better.

For the first time, the son carries his father across a cold river. This brings back memories for the father, reminding him of when he used to carry his son on his back. Tears quietly run down his face.

This film shows a traditional Chinese father. He is happy about his son growing up, but he hides his care in his heart. He doesn’t give hugs or kisses to his son. His love may be silent, but like a mountain, it is always there.
