Silent Love

Along a mountain road, a handsome young man walks briskly. An older man with a stern expression follows closely behind him. This scene is from my favorite film, Postmen in the Mountains. It’s a deeply moving story about the bond between a father and his son.

For many years, the father served as the postman for this remote area. He was often away from home, and the son rarely saw him. But now, the son is stepping into his father’s shoes, taking over his position. The father accompanies him on his first day of work. As they journey together, they begin to understand each other on a deeper level.

For the first time, the son carries his father across a cold river. This act brings back memories for the father, reminding him of the times he carried his son on his back. Tears quietly run down his face as he recalls these moments.

This film portrays a traditional Chinese father. He is proud of his son's growth but keeps his feelings hidden. He doesn't express his love through hugs or kisses. His love might be silent, but like a mountain, it is unwavering and ever-present.
