Speaking of nostalgia (乡愁), most of us will think of this famous poem written by Yu Guangzhong. I've never felt homesick (思乡的) because I've never left my hometown, but I know that lots of people have to leave $\underline{\mathrm{theirs}}$ to work or study, carrying large suitcases with them.
When I was young,
Nostalgia was a tiny, tiny stamp.
Me on this side,
Mother on the other side.
From Nostalgia
On the internet some suitcases prepared by parents have moved (感动) lots of people. Parents' love is about being afraid that you might get hungry in another city. Parents' worries are about not being able to put everything in your suitcase. The suitcases are a symbol of parents' quiet love and encouragement (鼓励)—they can't help their children with the trouble and pressure (压力) from the outside world, and they can only watch their children go through ups and downs in life. However, the deepest love and encouragement have always been there.
$\underline{\quad ▲ \quad}$, but no matter where you are, the family is your strongest support (支持) to face the windy and rainy days.
