This is the remnant sentence of an anonymous person, and there is no complete poem. The previous sentence "I don't know I'm a guest until I'm drunk" is contrary to Li Yu's "I don't know I'm a guest in my dream", saying that even if I'm drunk, I know I'm wandering in a foreign land and express my loneliness.
The latter sentence is quoted from Chen Yinque's "Huai's Former Residence". "When did Songmen dream of living in a secluded place and recognize it as his hometown?" The meaning of the expression is the same: since you can't go back, take your hometown as your hometown. While expressing homesickness, it also expresses some helplessness to reality.

Hometown complex of a wanderer in a foreign land
For most people, it is natural to be born in his hometown where he was born and raised. It connects the deep memory of his life and makes him attached to it. "Huma rain in the north wind, over the south branch of bird's nest", animals are still like this, not to mention human beings with feelings.
Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Dragon City, and how depressed he was when he thought of Chang 'an. He wrote: "The coastal mountains are like swords, and Qiu Lai has given up her heart everywhere. If you want to be hundreds of billions, you can go to the peak to see your hometown. " Homesickness will last a lifetime, so if the leaves can't return to their roots, that kind of sadness will kill the muscles.
Yu Youren's last masterpiece "National Mourning" is about that kind of pain: "Bury me in the mountains and look at my mainland, but my hometown can't see it, only cry!" Nostalgia attacks, regardless of region.
When the feelings of home and country are the richest, it is the agricultural era that has disappeared. Life is closed and self-sufficient, and people move to another place, singing and crying, and dying in one place. This is the universal style of life.
Leaving home is mostly related to all kinds of ominous things, such as war, turmoil, disaster, etc., except for a few cases such as the imperial examination. The hometown emotion brewed under this background is not only aesthetic, but also endowed with some ethical significance unconsciously.
