“Today is the Major Heat, it is time for me to go home. Even the calendar is persuading me to go home. It says that the Major Heat in the homeland is a time for the turtledove to call for rain. … Major Heat is just the time for me to go home!”

This poem is written in 1924 by Wen Yiduo (1899.11.24-1946.7.15, a famous poet of the New-Moon School and a patriot) when he was studying the arts at the University of Colorado. People cannot imagine that the poem was written in Colorado, a city on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, while depicting a beautiful picture of rivers and lakes in China. Facing the beautiful scene of Colorado, Wen Yiduo’s homesickness didn’t decrease at all. As the summer holiday approaches, homesickness becomes much stronger.
