The TV series "Hometown, Goodbye" revolves around the hot social issue of "Is it better to be in my hometown or another place?", and has attracted a large number of fans with its authentic and warm drama quality and the expression of life flow and light comedy. In the creation of the character group portraits, the drama did not pursue visual pleasure, flawless character setting and character growth. Instead, it projected its perspective into the lives of ordinary people, creating a protagonist without a "protagonist halo" and focusing on the subtle details of the character. The balance between flow and relaxation consolidates the "sense of companionship". As the characters continue to experience, change, and grow, the audience can experience and grow together.

A microcosm of a Chinese family, we hope to express more universal human feelings and sophistication through some of their stories. It is not easy to be in a foreign land, and hometown is not a paradise to live in. Lying flat and involuntarily cannot cover the mentality of today's young people. We believe in the freedom of brave people. This is our original intention to create characters and create dramas this time.”
Long Shu, co-screenwriter of "Hometown, Goodbye", said: "Even if you have nowhere to return, there are people waiting for you to go there. Hometown is a concrete person. So I tried to stand on the opposite side of equality and write about myself from the perspective of an adult. My parents hope that the unfinished words of many years will have an ideal echo. Growing up is the process of clarifying these things without worrying about them, and getting to know people who are simply happy because of your existence."
Ren Suxi, who plays Zhang Pei in "Hometown, Goodbye" and Ji Nanjia in "I'm Good in a Foreign Country", is a core actor in the two works of the "I'm in a Foreign Country" series, and has experienced "wandering in a foreign country" and "hometown".

The concept of the city is conveyed in a "comedy-drama" style through Sichuan dialect and talk show. The last line of the play, "Meet the mountains and the sea, stay safe" clearly conveys the idea that "as long as the mind is determined, the hometown can also be an ideal city of happiness and health". For the large number of young people who are currently returning to their hometowns to start businesses and live in their hometowns, It has a realistic enlightening, comforting and motivating effect.
