Said by: When I was a child, I grew up. Now, I can see it.
Homesickness is a modern poem written by Yu Guangzhong, a poet, after he returned from a foreign land.
Poetry expresses a kind of nostalgia for hometown and motherland. This poem also embodies the poet Yu Guangzhong's good wish for the early reunification of the Chinese nation.
Homesickness has an amazing formal beauty. First, the structure contains the changes of the whole, sections and sentences, and it is balanced and symmetrical. However, there are some irregularities in neatness, and long sentences and short sentences change with each other, which embodies the characteristics of free verse. Secondly, the repetition of words in the same position and the use of overlapping words create a melody that goes on and on, singing three sighs in the music and creating a low and depressing atmosphere for the whole poem.
