Original text:
When I was a child, homesickness was a small stamp.
I'm here and my mother is there.
When I grow up, homesickness is a narrow ticket.
I'm here and the bride is there.
Later, homesickness became a temporary grave.
I'm outside and my mother is inside.
Now, homesickness is a shallow strait.
I am here and the mainland is there.

Homesickness is a modern poem written by the poet Yu Guangzhong. Poetry expresses a kind of nostalgia for hometown. This poem also embodies the poet Yu Guangzhong's good wish for the early reunification of the Chinese nation.
The whole poem has four sections. On the one hand, poets write poems with the changes of time: childhood-after growing up-later-now, four life stages. On the other hand, the poet takes the space barrier as the characteristics of these four stages: the separation of mother and son when I was a child-the separation of husband and wife when I grew up-the separation of mother and son later-the separation of the wanderer from the mainland now.
The poet found a corresponding word to express his homesickness in four stages of his life: childhood stamps-boat tickets when he grew up-later graves-now straits. From this, we can see that this poem promotes poetic expression layer by layer with the isolation and change of time and space.
Poetry presents the beauty of orderly structure and the beauty of musical rhythm. Pursuing lively and powerful expression in uniform and neat sentence patterns, and perfectly using the phonology of words in appropriate image combinations make poetry have the rhythm of music, full of twists and turns, singing and sighing. The poet sang the poet's deep attachment to his hometown and motherland with the modern poetic language which integrated the traditional aesthetic characteristics of China.
