How it's used
Refers specifically to being forced to leave one's home country or region due to political or social pressure. It carries a heavy, formal tone and is rarely used in casual daily conversation. It implies a sense of displacement and loss rather than a voluntary move.
Examples
He was forced into exile to live abroad.

Common phrases
forced into exile
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 移民, which implies a voluntary or planned relocation for better opportunities. Using 播越 for a typical move to study or work sounds overly dramatic and incorrect.
