Abstract: \nBei Dao and the Misty Poetry group are defining events in world literary history, not only because of their early politically opposing compositions but also because of their progress in poetry abroad. Bei Dao experienced a harsh wander, and his poetry guidelines turned to personal and depoliticalized. However, the research proportion of Bei Dao’s later compositions is decreasing today, and many researchers and readers only summarize the invariable aspects of Bei Dao’s whole poetry span or interpret his later compositions with political ideas. This research mainly focuses on one aspect of Bei Dao’s later compositions, the unique expression of foreignness, homesickness, and loneliness, by collecting and analyzing a few poems Bei Dao wrote during his exile period. Consequently, this research excavates Bei Dao’s special recognition in his poems during his exile. He records his pointless, painful, and homesick feelings amid his unstable exile life. Besides, Bei Dao expresses many realizations, for example the unstoppable journey, identity separation, and the distance from the world. Moreover, the author raises a new concept, “native language aphasia”, to describe his identity separation through the deprivation of the native language.\n
