"Homesickness" content:
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.
Nostalgia, written in 1972 65438+ 10/2 1. Yu Guangzhong 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.
This poem has been selected as a middle school Chinese textbook by Chinese Publishing House and People's Education Publishing House.

In an interview, the host asked Yu Guangzhong why he never countered Li Ao's attack. Yu Guangzhong said: "He kept scolding me, but I kept silent, which shows that he can't live without me and I can't live without him." The so-called tolerance is probably like this.
