Coming Home: After Living in the Four Seas
Personal Introspection, #2
Part of the Personal Introspection series
Coming Home: After Living in the Four Seas is a reflective autobiographical journey spanning decades, continents, and inner landscapes. After years of living "in the four seas"-a Chinese expression for homelessness and displacement-the author searches for the meaning of home through travel, loss, survival, and human connection.From early solo travels in Japan and Europe to academic and business pursuits in Switzerland and the United States, the narrative traces a life shaped by ambition, curiosity, and resilience. Success is followed by devastating financial collapse, betrayal, and personal loss, forcing the author to repeatedly start over in unfamiliar lands. Each return-whether to Asia, Southeast Asia, or memory itself-reveals that coming home is not merely geographical, but emotional and spiritual.Interwoven with the author's own experiences are powerful stories of others who struggle with displacement: security guards, business leaders, domestic workers, and families fractured by modern economic and cultural forces. Together, these stories explore themes of identity, dignity, courage, and compassion in a rapidly changing world.Ultimately, Coming Home is a meditation on survival and humanity-a testament to the idea that home is found not in possessions or success, but in understanding, kindness, and the courage to begin again. About Kingson Lee - The author.I am a professional chemist by education. Our professor once told us many years ago that as scientists we need to talk to the general public all the time. Especially investors of our projects. We need to be artists, and we have to make science "Romantic and Beautiful." I also studied music writing and 3D designing. After many years in the world I had seen many strange things. It is because of my profession I traveled to many parts of the world. I am older now, and I decided to write stories based on my real and surreal experiences for movies., and author books. For the readers you can select any characters in my stories and walk through the journeys with them. You will be able to live in my story lands. All my love stories are intertwined with science, time, space and a touch of magic. I believe "Science can be Romantic., Romance is a Science. Science can be Beautiful., Beauty is a Science." We should "Construct a Better Future, then we can change the Past. Then we can crystalize a Better Present." Walk with me through my magical Journeys.From your friend,Kingson Leehttps://kingsonlee.com
