what is hometown
Hometown, hometown. A foreign land, a foreign land, a stranger. Where there is a home, there is no job. Where there is a job, there is no home. The hometown cannot house the body, and the foreign land cannot accommodate the soul. From then on, there is homesickness, wandering and concern... Having a place to live in a foreign country is not a home. Only when people are there and the lights are still on can it be called a home. Home is the bright moon that "raises one's head to look at the bright moon and lowers one's head to think of my hometown"; it is the cold plum blossom that "will bloom in front of the beautiful window in the future"; home is the countless changes in "in the old days, when the swallows in front of the king's funeral hall flew into the homes of ordinary people", it is the hundred turns of looking back when "three or two cicadas sound in the dusk, and they turn back to their hometown thousands of miles away"; home is the "As the sun sets in the west, heartbroken people are at the end of the world", the nine-curved ileum is the traces of melancholy of "Where is the hometown at dusk, and the mist on the Yanbo River makes people sad"; home is the longing for "alone as a stranger in a foreign land, missing relatives even more during the holidays", and the infinite sentimentality of "waiting until I have a home to return to, the cuckoo will no longer crow into my ears". Hometown has different and profound memories for everyone
The cheapest book in Teacher Lin's Bookstore!
As expected of a university professor
Alone in a foreign land, I miss my family even more during the festive season.
The best translator of Haruki Murakami's works
I am a loyal fan of Lin Shaohua, and I met Teacher Lin through Haruki Murakami. Although it was only through words, I have learned a lot from Teacher Lin.
Haven't read it all yet.
Not very well written
It's so well written. I'm in my hometown, but for some reason, I feel like I'm in a foreign land.
On the surface, the literal meaning of "stranger" is to leave my hometown. I am lonely and lonely. People say that loneliness means that no one wants to talk to you, and loneliness means that you are too lazy to talk to others. Somehow, I have both. As the author said, no matter what situation I live in, I am a stranger. I think this is the reason.
The author is very famous!
