A new kind of hometown melancholy: Hsueh Ching-wu had been hearing his father describe "beautiful rivers and mountains, my mainland hometown" from the time he was small When he was little he perhaps had some fantasies, but when he got a little older and he knew that sanitary conditions there were not so good, the fastidious Hsueh lost all interest in "the old hometown."
