I am also a legendary person who works thousands of miles away from home, and I can especially understand the homesickness of these people! Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice every holiday. I am now working in a city thousands of miles away from home, renting a house outside by myself, taking an ordinary class and working and living from nine to seven every day. The hardest thing to do outside is to feel homesick.
There should be a lot of ordinary employees who work far away from home like me, and suddenly I remembered a song "Doing ordinary work, wandering away from home, we are willing to work in other places in the hope that our lives can be better, we can change our history, make the pressure on our parents less, and we must miss our parents. We can't go home because our dreams have not been realized ...". Having a job at work can fill our lives, but after work, if a person goes back to the cold rental house and misses his parents especially, he can call his parents. When he calls, he can't tell his parents about his hard work, but he reports good news instead of bad news. Moreover, he is thousands of miles away and doesn't want his parents to worry about himself. He just wants to write in the lyrics, "I picked up the phone and said, Mom, I'm fine, I'm back to reality." That's what I do. Calling my mother is never good news, and when my mother says there is something at home, I can't help, because I am thousands of miles away, so I can only send more money to my family.
In fact, the hardest time is when I first came here. At that time, I was really a stranger and had no place to stay. I went everywhere to find a place to settle down first. I was afraid of meeting a liar landlord when renting a house, and I was still slowly looking for a job. Some jobs were not very friendly to other places and needed a local account. The spare time at the beginning of work is very boring, because there are no people I know and no social circles, and I am afraid that when I get sick, I need to go to the hospital alone. However, with the long working hours, it is getting better to know some colleagues and make some friends, but I still miss my family and friends every holiday.
In fact, the most bitter thing is that our parents are ill, but we are not around, and we have no time to take care of our parents. Ordinary people can't afford to buy a house in other places, and our parents are at home. Several times, my mother called me and said that she was well and didn't need me to go back. But I know that parents definitely don't want to drag their children down, so they don't want to tell me the first time when they are sick, and if they tell me the first time, I can't go back immediately. It takes 7-8 hours to go back by car. Because my mother's blood sugar is a little low, she often faints, even if she falls down in a flash, it is difficult to get up. Because I am often away, I have fainted several times and can only wait for myself to recover slowly. It's really bitter to hear this.
Everyone who works in other places will feel homesick more or less like me, and also feel sad that they can't always take care of their parents. It is not easy to live in a different place, but a few people struggle well. They can buy a house in a different place and bring their parents with them to live together.
