Abstract: The nostalgic writing in Huang Ling's prose has multiple dimensions. The text conveys the deep connection between the individual and the hometown, the concern about the inheritance of national culture, and the thinking about the philosophy of life. The works not only continue the long-standing nostalgic tradition of Chinese literature, but also condense the author's persistent inquiry into the spiritual homeland and reflecting the earnest concern for the destiny of mankind.

Key words: Huang Ling, prose, homesickness writing, spiritual home
