Definition

Verb: - To leave one's native country (without hope of return): This verb describes the act of permanently leaving one's homeland, often under difficult circumstances and with the understanding that one will not return. It carries a strong connotation of finality, loss, and sometimes desperation.

Usage Examples

• Verb:
  • Nhiều người đã phải bán xới để tìm kiếm một cuộc sống mới. (Many people had to leave their homeland to seek a new life.)
  • Trong thời kỳ chiến tranh, không ít gia đình đã bán xới. (During the war, not a few families left their native country for good.)
  • Ông ấy kể lại câu chuyện bán xới của mình với đầy xúc động. (He recounted his story of leaving his homeland with deep emotion.)

Advanced Usage

• This term is often used in historical or literary contexts to describe migration driven by war, famine, or extreme hardship. It is more poetic and carries a heavier emotional weight than the neutral "di cư" (to emigrate).
• It implies a severing of roots and a profound, often painful, farewell to one's place of origin.

Variants and Related Words

• Bán xứ (verb): A less common variant with the same meaning.
• Ly hương (verb): To leave one's native village/land; a literary synonym.
• Lưu vong (verb): To go into exile. While related, "lưu vong" often implies being forced to leave for political reasons, whereas "bán xới" can have broader causes.

Synonyms

• Rời bỏ quê hương: To leave one's homeland.
• Di cư: To emigrate (more neutral in tone).
• Ra đi vĩnh viễn: To leave forever.

Notes on Meaning

• The term "bán xới" is deeply rooted in Vietnamese sentiment regarding homeland ("quê hương"). It is not a casual term for moving abroad.
• The action is typically involuntary or necessitated by dire situations. It conveys a sense of tragedy and irrevocable loss.
