[quote=GUEST3775,328468]What does 四海为家 mean? I have seen this sentence "大丈夫四海为家" several times. But I don't know what it means. Does it means "take four seas as their homes"? How can they live in four seas? Chinese people take their families very seriously. For them, family means a lot. There is another idiom "落叶归根", which means “fallen leaves return to the roots" superficially. No matter how far they are away their homes, they will go back finally. Are these two idioms contradictory? Here is another one "四海之内皆兄弟". What is the meaning? Does it refer to "a man has many, many brothers?[/quote]
