獨在異鄉為異客，每逢佳節倍思親 — Wang Wei | Printable Wall Art

“獨在異鄉為異客，每逢佳節倍思親”
“A lonely stranger in a strange land, I miss my family all the more on festive days.”

Words by Wang Wei (701-761) — Tang dynasty poet-painter known for serene nature verse.

About this quote

Expressing the emotional burden of living far from home, this verse captures how festive occasions heighten loneliness. When everyone else gathers with loved ones, a solitary traveller feels the absence of kin most acutely. It reflects a universal human experience: nostalgic longing for family and familiar surroundings, intensified by public holidays and shared celebrations when distant bonds matter most.

Written by the Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei, this line comes from his poem Thinking of My Brothers in Shandong on the Double Ninth Festival. He composed it around age seventeen while living away from home.

People often display this piece in an entryway or hallway to offer comfort to family returning home.
