The author of nostalgia? Who is the author of nostalgia

Homesickness, nostalgia! When I was a child, homesickness was a small postage stamp, I was here, my mother was there, and when I grew up, homesickness was a narrow ticket, I was here, my mother was inside, and later, homesickness was a shallow strait, I was at this end, and the mainland was at that end -- "Homesickness" in the afterglow Some people say that if only three Chinese poets in the 20th century can be remembered by future generations, one is Yuguangzhong; If there are only three poems in the 20th century that have survived to posterity, one is the ...... "Homesickness" in the afterglowThese words of praise are mainly due to people's feelings about the "China complex" in Mr. Yu Guangzhong's works.

Yu Guangzhong (1928-), his ancestral home in Yongchun, Fujian Province (Changzhou, Jiangsu), was born in Nanjing, successively studied in Moling Road Primary School (formerly Cui Baxiang Primary School), Nanjing No. 5 Middle School (formerly Nanjing YMCA Middle School), entered the Department of Foreign Languages of Jinling University in 1947 (later transferred to Xiamen University), moved to Hong Kong with his parents in 1949, and went to Taiwan the following year to study in the Department of Foreign Languages of National Taiwan University. In 1953, he co-founded the "Blue Star" Poetry Society with Qin Zihao and Zhong Dingwen. Later, he went to the United States for further study and received a master's degree in fine arts from the University of Iowa.

After returning to Taiwan, he served as a professor at National Normal University, National Chengchi University, National Taiwan University and Chinese University of Hong Kong, and is currently the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan. Famous contemporary poet and critic. Yu Guangzhong is a complex and changeable poet, and the trajectory of his writing style can basically be said to be a trend of the entire Chinese poetry scene for more than 30 years, that is, first Westernization and then return.

In Taiwan's early poetry debates and the vernacular literature debates of the mid-70s, Yu Guangzhong's poetic theories and works both strongly show a tendency to advocate Westernization, ignore readers, and detach from reality. As he himself put it, "As a boy, the tip of the pen was stained either by the aftermath of Heatoncree or by the waters of the Thames." The wine is made from 1842.

After the 80s, he began to realize the importance of the place where his ethnic group lived to his creation, and "extended his poetry back to that continent", wrote many emotional nostalgic poems, and his attitude towards local literature also changed from opposition to cordiality, showing an obvious trajectory from the West to the East, so he was called "the prodigal son" by the Taiwanese poetry circle

"Homesickness" Author: Yu Guangzhong.

When I was a child, nostalgia was a small stamp, I was at one end and my mother was at that end.

When I grew up, nostalgia was a narrow ticket, I was at this end, and the bride was at that end.

Later, nostalgia was a low grave, I was outside, and my mother was inside.

And now, nostalgia is a shallow strait, I am at this end, and the mainland is at that end.

Homesickness in the afterglow.

When I was a child, nostalgia was a small stamp.

I'm on this side, and my mother is on the other side.

Growing up, nostalgia is a narrow ticket.

I'm on this head and the bride is on that head key oozing.

Later, nostalgia is a low grave.

I'm outside, my mother is inside.

And now nostalgia is a shallow strait.

I'm on this side, and the continent is on the other side.

Creative background: Yu Guangzhong's life is in frequent travel and migration, and he has been separated from his relatives many times. In 1971, he felt homesick in the afterglow of not returning to the mainland for more than 20 years, and wrote the poem "Homesickness" in his former residence on Xiamen Street in Taipei.

Appreciation of the work: The poem is deeply meaningful, not only longing for the reunification of the motherland, but also vividly describing nostalgia. 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 island, as a Chinese poet who loves the motherland and its cultural traditions, his nostalgic poems inherit the national emotional tradition in China's classical poetry from the inner feelings, and have a deep sense of history and nationality.

At the same time, the long-term artificial isolation between Taiwan and the mainland has caused the homesickness of tens of millions of people who have drifted to isolated islands. As a contemporary poet who has left the mainland for more than 30 years, Yu Guangzhong's works will inevitably be marked with a profound mark of the times.
