Yu Guangzhong’s life was characterized by frequent travels and migrations, and many reunions and separations with his relatives. In 1971, Yu Guangzhong, who had not been to the mainland for more than 20 years, felt homesick and wrote the poem "Nostalgia" in his old residence on Xiamen Street in Taipei.
"Nostalgia" is a modern poem written by the poet Yu Guangzhong. The poem expresses the feeling of being reluctant to leave one's hometown. The poem also reflects the poet Yu Guangzhong's longing for the early reunification of the Chinese nation. Extended information
The poem "Nostalgia" focuses on personal experiences in mainland China. A stamp from my youth, a boat ticket from my youth, and even a grave in the future are all there. The poet also has the long-lasting homesickness of thousands of overseas wanderers, and all this is sublimated to a new level at the end of the poem: "And now / homesickness is a shallow strait / I am at this end / the mainland is at the other end ."
Like hundreds of rivers rushing towards the East China Sea, like thousands of peaks heading towards Mount Tai, the poet's personal joys and sorrows are blended with the great love for the motherland and the nation. The poet's confession of personal experience is also more provocative and melancholy because of the burning emotions at the end. As the poet himself said: “A vertical sense of history and a horizontal sense of region.
