AStudy on the Intergenerational Reconstruction of "Nostalgia" and Its Influencing Factors in the Liang Village Trilogy
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the context of rapid urbanization, "nostalgia" is no longer merely a sentimental longing for the past. As a distinct emotional experience and cultural phenomenon, it embodies both a yearning for one's hometown and traditional ways of life, and a profound reflection on modern existence. Liang Hong's China in One Village, Leaving Liang Village, and Ten Years of the Liang Village, as representative works of nonfiction rural writing, portray the varied intergenerational understandings of "nostalgia". This paper explores the similarities and differences between the "nostalgia" of the parent generation and that of their children, while analyzing how changes in social structure, cultural inheritance, media technology, and national policies influence the expression of nostalgia.
