Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。

In Chinese poet Yu Guangzhong’s poem Nostalgia, he describes his memory for his late mother as a grave（坟墓）,"Nostalgia was a low grave/ Me on the outside/ Mother on the inside". And when the news came that Yu passed away on Dec 14.2017, his fans rewrote his poem to express their nostalgia for this great writer: "Now it’s us on the outside, and you on the inside."

Born in 1928 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, Yu spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s. Nostalgia—which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland—became his most well-known work. The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was written into songs.

However, the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also worried Yu because among the over 1,000 poems that had written, Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and enjoyed. "I’d like to think of Nostalgia as my business card, but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me, "Yu once said. Writing poems is only one of Yu’s many talents. And he used his talents well. He spent his whole life working, even in his 80s. To him, writing was an important part of life that shouldn’t be affected by age or anything else.
