In 1972, Yu Guangzhong, a modern poet in Taiwan Province, wrote a modern poem "Homesickness", in which he wrote:
As a child, homesickness was a little stamp,
I'm on this end, my mother is on the other end.
When I grow up, homesickness is a narrow ticket,
I'm on this end, the bride is on the other end.
Later, nostalgia is a low grave,
I was outside, my mother was inside.
And now, nostalgia is a shallow strait,
I'm on this end, the continent is on the other end.
