The psychology of Jia Yuanchun
This reminds me a bit of the poem "Coming Home" by He Zhizhang (English translation taken from John Turner's "A Golden Treasury of Chinese Poetry"):
I come home an old man; I went away young.
My accent has not changed but my hair is now gray.
I meet some village children, I am a stranger to them.
Smiling, they ask me, "Where do you come from?"
少小離家老大回，
鄉音無改鬢毛衰。
兒童相見不相識，
笑問客從何處來
