Look at my hometown;
Hometown is invisible,
Never forget.
Bury me in the mountains,
Look at my continent;
The mainland is invisible,
Only crying.
The sky is gray and wild;
Shan Ye, state-owned ruin! "
The poem Looking at the Mainland by Yu Youren, an old man of the Revolution of 1911, a veteran of the Kuomintang and a famous calligrapher, was published in 1964, which immediately touched the hearts of countless people in China.
Zhong Mingshan, an expert on Yu Youren studies, described the creation process of the poem Looking at the Mainland. 1962, Yu Youren was seriously ill. On June+10/October 12, 65438, he wrote in his diary: "After a hundred years, I would like to bury the wooded highlands of Yushan or Alishan. People with high mountains and big trees can always look at the mainland. My hometown is Chinese mainland. " After that, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night. He wrote the poem "Looking at the Mainland" as his last words, and noted in his diary that "this song was written by Dawn". Since then, Yu Youren has rewritten a painting of Looking at the Mainland with a brush. In June, 2004, Yu Yuan, director of Yu Youren's former residence memorial hall in Xi City, Shaanxi Province and granddaughter of Yu Youren, got in touch with Zhang Zuopeng, an old subordinate of Yu Youren and director-general of Shaanxi Taiwan Federation, and persuaded him to publicly display his precious handwriting of Looking at the Mainland. 165438+1On October 28th, Zhang Zuopeng arrived in Beijing with the handwriting of his poem and returned to his hometown looking at the handwriting of the mainland.
