Homesickness is a modern poem written by modern poet Yu Guangzhong in 1972. This poem was written in 1972. Yu Guangzhong's ancestral home is Yongchun, Fujian. He left the mainland for Taiwan Province Province on 1949. At that time, due to political reasons, Taiwan Province Province was isolated from the mainland for a long time, which prevented Yu Guangzhong from returning to the mainland for many years. He has always missed his loved ones and longed for the reunification of the motherland and the reunion of his loved ones. With strong homesickness, the poet wrote this poem in his former residence in Xiamen Street, Taipei.
Nostalgia gives a new explanation to an abstract theme, which is difficult to describe, but covered by a lot of descriptions. In terms of images, four common images in life, such as stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits, are selected to give them rich connotations, so that these four previously irrelevant images can be sung repeatedly under the support of homesickness.
In terms of artistic style, this poem turns to pursue a calm and harmonious aesthetic style instead of the characteristics of the poet's early "modern period", such as deliberately hammering words and refining sentences, painstakingly managing images and contradictory grammar, pursuing bizarre effects and creating amazing words, and seeking abstinence from obscurity. Replacing complexity with simplicity and winning with lightness are also extremely gorgeous and belong to blandness.
