How it's used

Refers specifically to the district in Jiangmen, often associated with the famous Xinhui tangerine peel. It is frequently mentioned in the context of ancestral roots for many Hong Kong families who trace their lineage back to the Four Counties region. When speaking about returning to one's ancestral home, people often use the term返 which implies a sense of returning to one's roots rather than just visiting a city.
