When I was young, nostalgia was a tiny stamp. Me on this side, Mother on the other side.
小时候/乡愁是一枚邮票/我在这头/母亲在那头
Now that I've grown up, nostalgia is a nucleic acid test report. Me on this side, hometown on the other side.
现在/乡愁是一张核酸报告/我在这头/故乡说/你就在那头吧/别回这头

The new version of Nostalgia humorously adapted by netizens is mixed with the bitterness of workers who can't go home. For the 2021 Spring Festival, "stay put" has become many people's choice to curb the spread of COVID-19. However, the new year's atmosphere can't be diluted as strong bond between family members can't be weakened by distance. Unpacking special parcels sent from parents for the Spring Festival has become a trendy fashion.

"Awww! Mom wrote me the New Year's Eve dinner menu and cookbook," said another web user.“泪目！妈妈给过年不回家的我，写的年夜饭菜单。不仅寄快递，妈妈连年夜饭该怎么做，都亲手写好了。”In addition to fish and meat in the delivery parcel, simple snacks such as dried radishes, fried meatballs, osmanthus rice cakes are also popular options. Netizens say these snacks carry the memory of hometown, thus can't be bought with money. Rather, it's a bite of hometown.除了大鱼大肉，一些简单小吃也让人心心念念：萝卜干，炸圆子，桂花年糕……网友表示这些小吃承载着家乡的味道，花再多钱也买不到，唤醒的是舌尖上的记忆。
