How can Chinese people abroad, who feel homesickness, find comfort through objects?
Simple explanation:
This study looks into ways to alleviate homesickness and cultural displacement in Chinese individuals who have been living abroad for longer than six months. It investigates how people can externalize their sensory memories of “home,” fostering emotional resilience in transient situations, by infusing physical companions with tactile textures and region-specific scents (such native soil, tea, and chestnuts).
