如果說1912街區是我最初的依靠，那麽珠江路清真寺則改寫了我對生命的態度和看法。
If the 1912 block is my initial reliance, then the Pearl River Road Mosque has rewritten my attitude and view of life.

在最終旅居美國之前的時間我皈依了伊斯蘭教，我希望藉此洗滌從前的一切污穢和罪過我希望可以去到麥加和麥地那朝覲。
I converted to Islam before I finally lived in the United States, and I hope to use this to wash away all the filth and sins of the past, and I hope to go to Hajj in Mecca and Medina.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaIIP7QjoI
我記得當我看到一段關於朝覲的記錄片時，我的內心感到尤為震撼，我看到朝覲者們為了信仰而前進的堅定與決心。
I remember when I saw a documentary about Hajj, I was particularly shocked inside. I saw the firmness and determination of the Hajj to advance for faith.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd5mDpiytg
也正是看過這段紀錄片之後我感到渾身都充滿了力量，對於伊斯蘭教越來越有興趣也越來越希望皈依。
It was also after watching this documentary that I felt full of strength and became more interested in Islam and hoped to convert.

後來在2019年的春天，我記得為了拿到綠卡而必須暫時離開美國，來到中國廣州的美國駐華大使館面試，也正是在廣州的時候我第一次進入了清真寺。
Later in the spring of 2019, I remembered that I had to temporarily leave the United States in order to get a green card. I came to the United States Embassy in Guangzhou, China for an interview. It was also in Guangzhou that I entered the mosque for the first time.

那是一個下午天空中飄著小雨，我來到了那間煥發著古樸色彩的清真寺做禮拜，這是我第一次在清真寺禮拜。
It was an afternoon when there was light rain in the sky, and I came to the mosque with a simple color to worship. This was the first time I worshiped in the mosque.

之後的夏天我再次返回中國南京，那座曾經過工業都市。
Later that summer I returned to Nanjing, China, the industrial city that used to be.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvYpl1mY2F
從我生活在南京開始，這座城市歷經多年的風雨洗禮和變革，如今已經從原先的工業都市變成了今天的摩登城市。
Since I lived in Nanjing, this city has undergone years of ups and downs and changes, and now it has changed from the original industrial city to the modern city of today.

在那個夏天我最長去的一個地方便是一座位於珠江路站一號出口附近的小清真寺。
One of the longest places I went to in the summer was a small mosque located near Exit 1 of Zhujiang lu Station.

每個星期五在哪裡都會聚集各個不同國家的穆斯林，就包括一個巴基斯坦朋友。
Every Friday, wherever there are Muslims from different countries, including a Pakistani friend.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSmp0WCMRU
我和這個朋友在東南大學認識，他是一個非常熱情的人，他對我非常好非常真誠。
This friend and I met at Southeast University. He is a very enthusiastic person. He is very good and sincere to me.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89nYIlV0oz
而我則只希望能擁有一群樸實真誠的朋友，長期以來見過很多不友好的人見過人與人間的爭鬥，那種虛偽的成熟。
And I only hope to have a group of honest and sincere friends. For a long time, I have seen many people who are Unfriendly. I have seen the struggle between people, the kind of hypocritical maturity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr3o66jurS
而那種虛偽的成熟便是這個病態的環境所造就的，那些病態的網絡娛樂和流行語言，將大部分人都帶偏了
And the kind of hypocritical maturity is created by this morbid environment. Those morbid online entertainment and popular languages have biased most people.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JBx8KQ7D8
我感到在那個地方真正有靈魂的人越來越少，大部分人都目中無光，並不是他們真的是盲人而是他們的靈魂早已枯竭。
I feel that there are fewer and fewer people with real souls in that place. Most people are blind, not because they are really blind but because their souls have dried up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMrjM6mUm1
這就讓那些少數依舊有著靈魂的人變的越發的與眾不同，而那座清真寺便是這個污穢的不健康的環境中少有的一片凈土，表面上人們看到了摩登都市的繁榮但是這些也只是外表罷了。
This makes those few people who still have souls become more and more different, and that mosque is a rare piece of pure land in this dirty and unhealthy environment. On the surface, people see the prosperity of modern cities, but these are only Appearance only.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa2tNqDWpY
就像我前面說過的那樣，只有真正生活在這裏的人會明白的很清楚，哪裏是真正的凈土哪裏只是世俗的繁榮罷了。
As I said before, only those who really live here will understand very clearly, where is the real pure land and where is just the secular prosperity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ018BlcAHKe
絕大多數的人只看到了表面的繁榮和光澤，就像那些網絡上的一部分流行文化一樣看上去都很精彩，不過當我看到這些的時候我卻感到非常沉重。
The vast majority of people only see the prosperity and luster on the surface. It looks like some popular culture on the Internet. But when I see these, I feel very heavy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSye6mnYnYv
我下意識的明白人們早已經失去了靈魂，就像某些網紅為了在網絡上成名而做出連尊嚴都沒有的事情，就像一個叫“老八”的網紅。
I subconsciously understand that people have already lost their souls, just like some Internet celebrities do things without dignity in order to become famous on the Internet, like an Internet celebrity called "老八".
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKACDFGc8
他為了在網絡上出名什麼都幹的出來，甚至連吃屎他都幹。
In order to be famous on the Internet, he did everything, even he eat shit.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOG5ZOG97D
我可以理解一些人作為網紅也是因為貧窮，不過這樣的網紅文化顯然是不健康的扭曲的，這些在潛移默化之中傳輸著一種不健康的價值觀。
I can understand some people at home as Internet celebrities because of poverty, but such an Internet celebrity culture is obviously unhealthy and distorted. These subconsciously transmit an unhealthy value.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFzWAZSb7x
這樣的精神垃圾比比皆是，因為這樣的精神垃圾非常低廉並且很容易吸引大眾的眼球，所以很多人都對此迷戀不已也就漸漸的喪失了靈魂，這便是其中一個原因。
This kind of mental waste is everywhere, because such mental waste is very cheap and easy to attract the attention of the public, so many people are fascinated by this and gradually lose their souls, which is one of the reasons.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwOGBONJt
於是多數人本身就沒有什麼信仰的人便因此而越發的低迷越發的墮落，很多人看似很成熟但是他們其實根本就不成熟。
As a result, most people who do not have any belief in themselves will become more and more depressed. Many people seem to be very mature, but they are actually immature.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YLaj6ds1K
判斷一個人成熟與否的標準不在於他的表面，就比如不能夠說一個喜歡玩具和兒童風格繪畫的人就是不成熟，因為這些只是一個表面現象
The criterion for judging a person's maturity is not his appearance. For example, it is impossible to say that a person who likes toys and children's style painting is immature, because these are just superficial phenomena.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgfAHuW4MU
真正判斷一個人成熟與否的標準就在於他是否有夠深的思想底蘊，以及他是否具備很強的思考和洞察能力。
The true criterion for judging a person's maturity is whether he has a deep enough ideological background and whether he has strong thinking and insight skills.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPceBvAGxn
我見過太多偽成熟的人，他們就出現在我曾經的那個群體當中，這些人互相攀比吃穿和娛樂，，他們整天吹噓自己有多麼有富有，可實際上他們的家境並不是很富有。
I have met too many pseudo-mature people, and they appear in the same group I used to. These people compare each other with food, clothing, and entertainment. They brag about how rich they are, but in fact their family condition is not rich.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aIpvfvmIJ
他們喜歡隨時隨刻說著各種網絡流行語言，以此來彰顯自己有多麼成熟，他們瞧不起優秀的有涵養的東西，可是在我看來這是最可笑的。
They like to speak all kinds of Internet popular languages at any time to show how mature they are. They look down on excellent and self-cultivated things, but in my opinion this is the most ridiculous.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4EEuea8u
沒有任何自己的思想底蘊，一個人只能夠看到最表面的那些浮誇之風，正因為如此這樣的人只能隨波逐流，他們自以為自己成熟但是卻沒有任何成熟的實力。
Without any own ideological background, a person can only see the superficial winds of the superficial. Because of this, such people can only follow the wave, they think they are mature but they do not have any mature strength.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwrQqba8RK
我想，這便是伊斯蘭所告訴我的一個道理雖然在那之前我早就有所領悟，但是另一方面伊斯蘭也賦予了我一片乾凈的心靈土地。
I think this is the truth that Islam told me. Although I have understood it before then, on the other hand, Islam has also given me a clean spiritual land.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyazDOuTdO
我能做的也只是讓自己和身邊的少數老同志能夠不喪失靈魂，畢竟這個環境單純靠少數人依舊很難改變。
All I can do is to enable myself and the few old comrades around me not to lose their souls. After all, this environment is still difficult to change simply by a few people.
