This poem is deeply emotional, longing for the reunification of the motherland, and vividly describing nostalgia. When reading this poem, the first thing that is presented to the reader are four distinct and specific pictures of life. The first section: Studying in childhood, mother and son were separated, and they borrowed letters to comfort each other; the second section: After adulthood, bidding farewell to the newlywed wife, leaving home and living in different parts of the world; the third section: separation in life and death, mother and son are not allowed to see each other; the fourth section: compatriots are rare Together, the country cannot be unified. At the same time, readers can feel the author's rich and strong emotions. The poet's homesickness is not stated directly, but through association and imagination, four images of life art are created and presented to the readers. The author combines his longing and nostalgia for his mother, wife, and motherland, and expresses his strong desire for the reunion of his relatives and the reunification of the country. Just like many rivers in China are tributaries of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, although Yu Guangzhong lives on an island, as a Chinese poet who loves his motherland and its cultural traditions, his nostalgia poems inherit the inner feelings of our country's classical poetry. The national emotional tradition has a profound sense of history and nation. At the same time, the long-term artificial isolation between Taiwan and the mainland and the homesickness of millions of people drifting to isolated islands are objectively incomparable to the homesickness of any previous era. The specific and vast content makes people feel an indescribable sense of intimacy. As a contemporary poet who has been away from the mainland for more than thirty years, Yu Guangzhong's works will inevitably bear a profound mark of the times. The poem "Nostalgia" focuses on personal experiences in mainland China. A stamp in his youth, a boat ticket in his youth, and even a grave in the future all convey the poet's long-lasting memories of thousands of overseas wanderers. Thoughts of hometown, and all this reaches a new level at the end of the poem: "And now/Nostalgia is a shallow strait/I am at this end/The mainland is at the other end." It's like hundreds of rivers running towards the East China Sea, like Thousands of peaks are 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 personal experience is also more provocative and melancholy because of the burning emotions at the end, just as the poet himself said Said: "The vertical sense of history, the horizontal sense of region. The intersection of vertical and horizontal forms the sense of reality at the crossroads." (Preface to "White Jade Bitter Melon") In this way, the poet's "Nostalgia" is the traditional nostalgia poem of our country in the new era and The variations under special geographical conditions have a breadth and depth unmatched by previous nostalgia poems. Mr. Yu Guangzhong loves traditional Chinese culture and China. Praise "China, the most beautiful and motherly country". He said: "The upper reaches of blue ink is the Miluo River", "I want to be the descendant of Qu Yuan and Li Bai", "There is a tributary of the Yellow River in my bloodline".
