Yu Guangzhong's homesickness
Full text of poetry
homesickness
Yu Guangzhong
When I was a child, homesickness was 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 became a temporary grave.
I'm outside,
Mom's inside.
now
Homesickness is a shallow strait.
I'm at this end,
The mainland is over there
Poetry criticism
The poem is full of deep feelings, both yearning for the reunification of the motherland and incisive description of homesickness. After reading this poem, four vivid and concrete life pictures are presented to readers at first. The first section: studying in the early years, separating mother and child, comforting each other by letters; Section 2: After adulthood, bid farewell to the newly married wife and leave home, living far apart; Section 3: Where will you go? Mother and son are not allowed to meet. Section 4: It is rare for compatriots to get together and the country cannot be unified. At the same time, readers can also feel the author's rich and strong feelings. The poet's homesickness is not directly expressed, but through association and imagination, four artistic images of life are shaped and presented to readers. The author combines his thoughts and feelings for his mother, wife and motherland. Expressed a strong desire for family reunion and national unity. Just as many rivers on the land of China are tributaries of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, although Yu Guangzhong lives on an isolated island, as a China poet who loves the motherland and its cultural traditions, his homesickness poems inherit the national emotional tradition in China's classical poems from the inner feelings, and have a deep sense of history and nationality. The homesickness of thousands of Qian Qian people who have been artificially isolated from Taiwan Province Province and the mainland for a long time and drifted to isolated islands objectively has specific and extensive contents that can't be compared with the homesickness of any previous era, which makes people feel an indescribable intimacy. As a contemporary poet who has been away from the mainland for more than 30 years, Yu Guangzhong's works are bound to be deeply branded by the times. The poem "Homesickness" focuses on his personal experience in the mainland when he was young, a stamp. A boat ticket of that youth, and even the future grave, all contain the poet's yearning for Qian Qian's thousands of overseas wanderers, and all this is sublimated to a new height at the end of the poem: "Now/homesickness is a shallow strait/I am here/the mainland is there." Like a hundred rivers rushing to the East China Sea, like a thousand peaks approaching Mount Tai, the poet's personal joys and sorrows and great love for the motherland and the nation. What is even more worrying is the burning emotion at the end, as the poet himself said: "The sense of history is vertical, the sense of region is horizontal, and the sense of reality at the crossroads is vertical and horizontal." (Preface to White Jade and Bitter Melon) From this point of view, the poet's "homesickness" is a variation of our national traditional homesickness poetry in the new era and under special geographical conditions, which has unparalleled breadth and depth. Mr Yu Guangzhong loves China. Praise "China, the most beautiful and motherly country". He said: "The upstream of the blue ink is the Miluo River", "I want to be a descendant of Qu Yuan and Li Bai" and "I have a tributary of the Yellow River in my blood system".
