Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Journalism / news item subtitle
Chinese term or phrase: 侨乡侨情
I need the translation of 侨乡侨情 in the form of a news item subtitle. It is used in parentheses to introduce a news story. So preferrably, the translation should be a very short one.

Sentiment of an overseas Chinese (returned)


Explanation:
Looking at 僑鄉僑情, I can’t quite determine what exactly ‘僑鄉’ stands for.

To me, it could mean “華僑在異鄉”, or “華僑回故鄉”; I don’t have much problem with “僑情” though.

So I gave both scenarios a try –

For “異鄉僑情” – Sentiment of an overseas Chinese.
For “故鄉僑情” – Sentiment of an overseas Chinese returned, or
Sentiment of a returned overseas Chinese.
