Far From Home is a collection of Chinese poetry designed for readers who live between places, languages, and identities. It explores the quiet emotions of travel, migration, and distance, where everyday movement becomes part of inner life rather than just physical change.
Each poem in this book uses Chinese Poetry (中文诗歌, zhōng wén shī gē) to gently introduce Mandarin Chinese (普通话, pǔ tōng huà ) through real emotional situations. Instead of focusing only on grammar rules, the language grows naturally from scenes of airports, trains, cities, and long journeys.
The central idea of Far From Home (远方, yuǎn fāng) is not only about leaving, but also about adjusting to life in motion. It reflects how people begin to understand distance not as separation, but as a daily rhythm that shapes thought, memory, and feeling.
This book invites readers to experience language and poetry together, where Mandarin becomes a way to notice small emotional details hidden inside ordinary moments of travel and change.
