Interpretation of homesick poems

homesickness

Yu Guangzhong

When I was a child,

Homesickness is a small stamp.

I'm at this end,

Mom is over there.

When I grow up,

Homesickness is a narrow ticket.

I'm at this end,

The bride is over there.

Later,

Homesickness is a short grave.

I'm outside,

Mom's inside.

now

Homesickness is a shallow strait.

I'm at this end,

The mainland is over there

In the future,

Homesickness is a long bridge.

You go that way,

I'm going this way.

Yu Guangzhong is a complicated and changeable poet, and the changing track of his writing style can basically be said to be a trend of the whole poetry circle in China for more than 30 years, that is, westernization first and then regression. In the early poetry debates in Taiwan Province and the rural literature debates in the mid-1970s, Yu Guangzhong's poetry theory and creation showed a strong tendency of advocating westernization, ignoring readers and being divorced from reality. As he himself said, "When I was a teenager, my pen was touched by the aftermath of Heaton Ling Ke, or the river of the Thames. The brewing industry is nothing more than 1842 wine. "
