Creation background
Nostalgia is one of Yu Guangzhong's poems "White Jade and Bitter Melon", and it is a classic work in which Yu Guangzhong expresses homesickness with folk songs, four rhymes of homesickness and Luo Erwazi.
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 political reasons, Taiwan Province Province was isolated from the mainland for a long time, which prevented Yu Guangzhong from returning 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.
