What is the appreciation of Yu Guangzhong's Homesickness?

In terms of artistic style, Nostalgia, contrary to the characteristics of the poet's early "modern period", deliberately hammering words and sentences, painstakingly managing images and contradictory grammar, pursuing bizarre effects and creating amazing words, and seeking abstinence in obscurity, turned to pursue a calm and harmonious aesthetic style.

Poetry is pure and light in language, simple, frank and meaningful. Use adjectives such as "small", "narrow", "short" and "shallow" to decorate the central image and enhance the vividness of the language.

The lyrical subjects of these homesick poems not only miss their relatives and hometown, but also miss the mainland and the motherland. Qu Yuan's homesickness and national love compose the harmonious melody of Yu Guangzhong's poems.

Creation background

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 some reasons, Taiwan Province Province was isolated from the mainland for a long time, which caused Yu Guangzhong not to return 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.
