In” The Black Earth”, ”The Spring and the Autumn” and ”The Dawn”, Sakaguchi mainly describes the agricultural immigrants' attachment to the earth and their nostalgia to the mother country. According to different immigration periods, t he portrayals on homesickness in these works are various. In ”The Black Earth”, t he people and the earth from their home country arouse the homesickness which had been expressed by the immigrants. Making up their minds to bury the bodies in Taiwan, the immigrants mix up the earth from the home country with that of Taiwan and hope that the earth of Taiwan can turn into the earth of home country in which their descendants can live forever. ”The Spring and The Autumn” is different from The Black Earth in describing nostalgia but indicating that the sadness and the religion can not cure the homesickness through the protagonist's mother. In ”The Dawn”, the immigrants' longing and homesickness toward the home country still exist. Through the two outsiders-Shinako and Osamu, The Dawn depicts how the immigrants in the immigrant community distortedly express their homesickness. The resolution to cure homesickness is cutting off their attachment to their home country and building up their own new home country in distant lands. |
