Yu Kwang-chung Quotes

The Yellow River flows torrential in my veins.
China is me I am China.

小时候，乡愁是一枚小小的邮票，我在这头，母亲在那头。
长大后，乡愁是一张窄窄的船票， 我在这头，新娘在那头。
后来啊，乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓，我在外头，母亲在里头。
而现在，乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡，我在这头，大陆在那头。

When I was small,
Nostalgia was a tiny postage stamp,
I, on this side,
My mother, on the other. Later on,
Nostalgia was a low tomb,
I, outside.
My mother, inside. And now,
Nostalgia is the coastline, a shallow strait.
I, on this side,
The mainland, on the other.
