Homesickness English edition

Nostalgia?

Homesickness-Yu Guangzhong

When I was young, nostalgia was a small stamp. I was on one side and my mother was on the other.

Homesickness is a small stamp when I was a child. I'm here and my mother is there.

When I grow up, homesickness is a narrow ticket. I am here and the bride is there.

When I grow up, homesickness is a narrow ticket. I'm here and the bride is there.

But later, nostalgia became a very low grave. I was outside and my mother was inside.

Later, homesickness was a low grave. I'm outside and my mother is inside.

At present, homesickness has become a shallow strait. I am on this side and the mainland is on that side.

Homesickness is a shallow strait now, and I am on this continent, on that side.

Appreciation of homesickness

In the extraction and refinement of images, this poem has simple and rich beauty. Homesickness, an emotion that everyone generally experiences but is difficult to capture, will either become a common mediocrity or fall into an abstract emptiness if a unique image of beauty cannot be found to express it. Nostalgia extracts four images from distant time and space: stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits.

They are simple, so-called simple, not simple, but clear, concentrated and strong, without a sense of rambling; They have money, so-called money, and it is not piled up, it is hidden. Tension can induce readers to associate in many ways. In the combination of images, nostalgia synthesizes images with the development of time, which can be called image progression. "When I was a child", "When I grew up", "Later" and "Now" run through the poem like a red line, summarizing the poet's long life course and yearning for the motherland. The first three poems are like turbulent waves, and finally they collide with the nine-level waves of the whole poem.

The formal beauty of nostalgia is also remarkable. Its formal beauty is manifested in structural beauty and musical beauty. Homesickness presents the beauty from tradition in structure. Unity means relative balance and symmetry; Paragraph patterns and sentence patterns are relatively neat, and paragraph by paragraph and sentence by sentence are relatively harmonious and symmetrical. Change is to avoid unification going to extremes, and to pursue the beauty of liveliness, fluidity and vitality.

Nostalgia * * * four plates. Each segment has four lines, and each segment is quite balanced and symmetrical. However, the poet pays attention to the change and adjustment of long sentences and short sentences, which makes the face of the poem neat and uneven.

The musical beauty of Homesickness is mainly manifested in the beautiful melody of reciprocating, singing and sighing, in which "Homesickness is-"and "there (in the head)" are repeated four times, and overlapping words such as small, narrow, short and shallow are used in the same position in the four paragraphs. The use of quantifiers such as "one piece", "one piece", "one side" and "one bay" not only shows the poet's language skill, but also strengthens the aesthetic feeling of the whole poem.
