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.

Well, we are always busy. We have a lot of homework, but not as much as Chinese students. But we are not just busy working on our studies. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." First, we have after-school clubs. We finish school early, around 2：40 pm. Then we go to our clubs from 3 pm to 4 pm. There are several kinds of clubs, such as those for arts, sports and culture. I love after-school clubs because I can learn and make friends. Another kind of common after-school activity is playing on school sports teams. These teams train hard so they can win games against other teams during the competitive season.

I have a friend who is on a girls’ basketball team. It is basketball season now, so she trains every day after school from 3 pm to 8 pm. There is just a one-hour break. The school bands rehearsal（排练）is also held after school.

I am in a school band. We rehearse once a week every Monday from 4 pm to 7 pm. Finally, a lot of us do volunteer work on the weekends. We need 15 to 20 volunteer hours each semester in order to graduate. I often go to the food bank, which is a food donation organization, to work as a volunteer. I’m usually pretty tired after I finish volunteering each week. The work is sometimes boring, but I know I’m working for the good of society. So I enjoy it.
