nostalgia

“When I was young,
Nostalgia was a tiny stamp,
Me on this side,
Mother on the other side.

When I grew up,
Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket,
Me on this side,
Bride on the other side.

But later on,
Nostalgia was a low, low grave,
Me on the outside,
Mother on the inside.

And at present,
Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait,
Me on this side,
Mainland on the other side.”

- NOSTALGIA BY YU GUANGZHONG (YU KWANG-CHUNG) translated by himself.
