Yu Guangzhong, the author of Homesickness
Yu Guangzhong, a native of Yongchun, Fujian, was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu. 1947 joined the Foreign Languages Department of Jinling University (later transferred to Xiamen University), 1949 moved to Hong Kong with his parents, and went to Taiwan to study in the Foreign Languages Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University the following year. 1953 founded "Blue Star" Poetry Society with Qin Zihao and Zhong Dingwen. Later, he went to the United States for further study and obtained a master's degree in art from the University of Iowa. After returning to Taiwan Province, he became a professor at Normal University, Chengda University, National Taiwan University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is currently the Dean of Art College of Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan.
Guangzhong is a complicated and changeable poet, and his changing track can basically be said to be a trend of the whole altar in Taiwan Province Province for more than 30 years, that is, westernization first and then return. In the early poetry debates in Taiwan Province and the rural literature debates in the mid-1970s, Yu Guangzhong's poetry theory and creation showed a strong tendency of advocating, ignoring readers and being divorced from reality. As he himself said, "When I was a teenager, my pen was touched by the aftermath of Heaton Ling Ke, or the river of the Thames. The brewing industry is nothing more than 1842 wine. " After the 1980s, he began to realize the importance of his national life to his creation, and he extended his poetic pen back to that continent. He wrote a lot of emotional homesick poems, and his attitude towards local literature changed from opposition to intimacy, showing an obvious trajectory of returning from west to east, so he was called a "prodigal son" by the poetry circles in Taiwan Province Province. From the perspective of poetic art, Yu Guangzhong is an "artistic hybrid poet". His works are extremely inconsistent in style. Generally speaking, his poetic style varies from subject to subject. Poems expressing will and ideals are generally magnificent and powerful, while works describing homesickness and love are generally delicate and soft. He has written more than ten kinds of poems, such as Elegy of Zhou Zi, Blue Feather, Stalactite, Halloween and White Jade Melon.
I wonder if you have read one of his poems. The title of this poem is nostalgia.
