“You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'the artist' and the all-sufficiency of 'art' and 'beauty' and 'love,' back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermude, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time--back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.”
This old adage, adopted from the title of a 1940 Thomas Wolfe novel, states, “You can never go home again.” The saying is meant to infer how nostalgia causes us to view the past in an overly-positive light, and how humans tend to remember people and places from our upbringing in static terms.
在中国的竞争环境下，没有几个能够生存下来。
老中现在也只是想回中国吃喝玩乐几个月。
时间长了，就会发现，老中也变了：与原来的同学和亲戚慢慢的无话可说。
生活方式和习惯都有差距。
老中也回不去了。
外国人去哪里干嘛？
有个在读博士的小留女家里要让回去，结果就和要留下来的原来的男朋友掰了，挺可惜的这个小留男孩已经在这里工作快要拿绿卡了，家里还帮着在硅谷买了房。
这里的小中很多不认同大陆的文化思想。
他们的下一代，很可能都不会讲中文了。
老中回去的不少，多数基本没啥问题。
华二代虽然回去的很少，但并不是没有。
我知道有连大学都没上过的回去做生意，做的还错。
还有顶级大学回去做公司高管的。
亲戚朋友见面吃饭，每处吃一次，估计得吃上十几天，加上出门玩几天，然后可以回来了。
所有应用的硬件也好软件也罢，如果让使用者觉得不好用，就一定推广不下去。。好用的东西没人去用，一定有其他原因。。回国刷手机的问题就两个事情困扰外来旅游的，一是手机的开户，一是银行的开户。。无他。。
想回去的赶紧回，不要等想回又回不去的时候空悲切。。。
糊涂蛋总是多数。49年后，多少人自投罗网，最后家破人亡。
不过，正如黑格尔所说，人类从历史中学到的最大的教训，就是从来不吸取教训。
“You can't go back home to your family, back home to your childhood, back home to romantic love, back home to a young man's dreams of glory and of fame, back home to exile, to escape to Europe and some foreign land, back home to lyricism, to singing just for singing's sake, back home to aestheticism, to one's youthful idea of 'the artist' and the all-sufficiency of 'art' and 'beauty' and 'love,' back home to the ivory tower, back home to places in the country, to the cottage in Bermude, away from all the strife and conflict of the world, back home to the father you have lost and have been looking for, back home to someone who can help you, save you, ease the burden for you, back home to the old forms and systems of things which once seemed everlasting but which are changing all the time--back home to the escapes of Time and Memory.”
