The most profound impression of nostalgia is Yu Guangzhong's deep love for his relatives and compatriots in mainland China. I have a deep feeling of longing and longing to cross the shallow strait and return to the mainland. If poetry were to be written about impressions, it would be that nostalgia is...there. Requesting 4 poems from Yu Guangzhong
Chicago
The giant spider of the New World sits majestically in the center of the dense web, devouring astronomical numbers of small insects.
And digest it with its venom.
And I jumped in, I fell into the net -
An indigestible
golden beetle from the subtropics .
The beasts of civilization, skyscrapers suppress us
With three-dimensional indifference, with sinister geometric figures
Press me with the many zeros behind the numbers< /p>
Press me, press me, but keep pressing
Floating in the gray eyes of strangers
The horizon looking west.
Lost in the Grand Canyon of Steel, the sun sets earlier -
(He is going to the picnic at dawn in the South China Sea)
The conductor of the clock tower The stick stirred up the prelude of dusk,
In the dim land, the roots of the blue were sad and hysterical.
When the jazz music came, the street lights turned on in clusters.
The slut rolls, the crazy century begins -
Sin is maturing, there are snakes and Eves in the nightclub,
And the black cat cried, drowning God in the cup.
And in the forbidden area of ??history, in front of the serious art museum,
The Persians on the huge wall are keeping vigil
The blind stone lions are keeping vigil,
The era of the threshold building was patrolling, not daring to step on it,
The high stone steps.
And the nineteenth century is awake, the Renaissance is awake,
Delacroix is ??awake, Rodin is awake,
Many souls Insomnia, whispering, listening,
Listening -
Outside the door, the noise of the collapse of the twentieth century.

< p> My solidificationHere, in the international cocktail,
I am still a piece of ice that refuses to melt -
Always kept below zero Cold
and the hardness of a solid.
I am also very liquid
I also love fluidity and boil easily.
I love playing with Hong’s slides.
But the sun in China is too far away from me
I am crystallized, transparent and hard,
and cannot be restored automatically.

< p> Xiluo BridgeSuddenly, the soul of steel is awake
The solemn silence is sonorous
The sea breeze of Xiluo Plain shakes this bridge< /p>
The pattern of force and the net of beauty are shaking every nerve of this
Tower of Will,
It is shaking violently and howling desperately
The teeth of the iron nails are biting tightly, and the hands of the iron arms are holding tightly.
Serious Jing.
So, my soul also woke up, I know
The me who has passed through will be different from the me who has not yet gone through, I know
The person I am on the other side cannot be restored to the person I am on this side
But fate has come to me.
A thousand arms of welcome , I have to cross the river
Facing the corridor leading to another world
, I tremble slightly
But the magnificent wind of Xiluo Plain
Rushing towards me, telling me that the sea is on the other side
I trembled slightly, but I
must cross the river,
standing, huge silence.
Awake, the soul of steel.
1958.3.13
Note: On March 7, I was traveling back north with Xia Jing and was about to cross the Xiluo Bridge. I stopped to take pictures.
