1 . Yu Guangzhong was a famous Chinese poet. Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu and his family moved to Taiwan in 1949. He lived and worked there until his death. He is known for the poem Nostalgia. In it he expresses his homesickness for the Chinese mainland when he was in Taiwan. Published in 1971, the poem remains highly popular among Chinese speakers worldwide. Even those who know little about literature are familiar with lines from the poem.
Yu spent his whole life writing. “The reason why I stick to writing till today comes down to my strong feeling for the Chinese language,” he once said. He then added that this feeling was strengthened (加强) by his love for his mother and his motherland. Now, let’s admire the poem Nostalgia.
