 This
is one of the most-famous poems written by Yu Guangzhong, a
renowned writer from Taiwan. Entitled "Homesickness",
the oft-quoted poem vividly depicts the flesh and blood relations
between people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.
Born in 1928, Yu Guangzhong is one of the best-known of modern
Chinese writers, literary critics and translators. So far, this
prolific writer has published 17 poetry collections and 12 prose
collections. Since the 1970s, Yu Guangzhong has written a number
of poems expressing Taiwan people's nostalgia for their homeland
and family members on the mainland: these have deeply touched
the heartstrings of numerous Chinese.
Addressing the issue of China's reunification, Yu Guangzhong
has this to say:
"We are all descendants of the
Chinese nation and share the same brilliant Chinese civilization.
No one can deny this. I believe the 5,000-year-old Chinese culture
will be a centripetal force in promoting the reunification of
the Chinese nation."
