Found this because there's a Westoid translation account that somehow thinks that this is a dunk on China.

I'm not sure I get it?

Is the original interpretation "come back to hometown as a dandelion" meant to be as in spreading in the wind?

And the misinterpretation akin to "pushing up daisies"?

He's floating back to his homeland on a parachute, like a dandelion seed on the wind. It's cute.

It's cool if it's about the wind spreading the seeds that float on wind! I hope that's a double meaning. I interpreted it as knowing he was going to die and become nutrients for flowers, which is cool but more sad

No, it's childlike wonder. He's floating on the wind like a dandelion seed.
