Nostalgia is a sentimental longing for the past. It is a complex, bittersweet emotion—a blend of joy (for the happy memory) and grief (for the knowledge that it is gone forever).
怀旧是一种对过去的多愁善感的渴望。它是一种复杂的、苦乐参半的情感——是喜悦（对美好记忆的）与悲伤（因知晓那些时光已一去不复返）的混合体。
Nostalgia is not about going back.
It is about bringing forward what we loved.
怀旧不是为了回去。
而是把所爱之物，带到今天来。
