What are the specific meanings of stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits in homesickness?

Poke: I left home to study when I was a child. Only through that small stamp can I tell my mother what I think by writing. ?

Ticket: Missing your lover?

Grave: separating me from my mother-the living and the dead-forever. ?

Strait: It not only separates me from my hometown, but also is insurmountable.

homesickness

In childhood

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.

We'll talk about it later.

Homesickness is a low grave.

I am outside

Mom's inside.

But now

Homesickness is a shallow strait.

I'm at this end

The mainland is over there

Extended data

Homesickness is a modern poem written by modern poet Yu Guangzhong in 1972.

Through the time series of "when I was a child", "when I grew up", "later" and "now", the poem concretizes the abstract homesickness with stamps, boat tickets, graves and straits, summarizes the poet's long life course and endless homesickness for the motherland, and reveals the poet's profound sense of history. The whole poem has simple language and deep feelings.

Creation background

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.

Homesickness 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.

Yu Guangzhong is known as a poet who "shakes hundreds of millions of China people with homesickness poems", and "homesickness" is a theme that he never forgets in many of his poems. Nostalgia gives a new explanation to an abstract theme, which is difficult to describe, but covered by a lot of descriptions.
