"All the Way Back home" is a collection of cultural essays with the theme of returning home. The author grew up in the countryside as a teenager, and his writing is filled with rich local memories. These narratives facing the hometown, connecting the wind and rain garden, the mountains and rivers, also lead to those Huxiang figures who illuminate history. The author's hometown is not just a rural village, but also points to the time and space, art and aesthetics of intellectual culture returning to their hometowns. Returning to his hometown all the way is the author's attachment to his hometown in the present world, and it is also his quiet reconstruction of the hometown of words.

In the sharing session, Huang Yaohong shared with readers the original intention of writing "All the Way Back to Hometown", discussed the literary significance of "Hometown Return" itself, and analyzed the multiple connotations of "Road" and "Hometown" as literary metaphors. Some readers have asked, how should people who have never left their hometown find resonance from "All the Way Back home"? Huang Yaohong said that returning to the hometown is the end of the world, and returning to the hometown is the footsteps that cannot be stopped. "Even if you have never left your hometown, you can feel the family affection and customs behind the grass and trees of your hometown through "All the Way Back home". The grass and trees of the hometown, even if they are small, also have emotions in them. We can read these small memories, subtle feelings, and delicate resonances from "All the Way Home". Huang Yaohong said.
