Q: Homecoming


If you're a traveler returning home after a long stay in a foreign land, the thought of your hometown getting closer will be thrilling and overwhelming.

Nothing may compare to that lightheartedness and joyfulness.

This is because he doesn't dare to ask. The contradiction of wanting to know but not being able to ask stems from anxiety.

He tries to suppress his curiosity because he doesn't want to break the fragile hope that his family will be at peace.

This is also related to the poet's situation at the time. He may have been afraid of revealing his identity because he had secretly fled from the place of exile in Guangdong, Yeongnam district, and was on his way home.

The poet, who had enjoyed all sorts of luxuries as an entourage of Empress Wu Zetian, was relegated to a desolate backcountry when the empress was deposed, and he decided to escape when his return to Luoyang became impossible.
