So the person’s life trajectory must be:
Born in China -> spend time overseas -> come back to China for a while -> move back overseas
归海 refers to the final leg of the trip.
The word originates from the term 海归 which means “overseas returnee”, someone born in China who has returned after spending a few years abroad, usually for work or study. If you flip it, it turns into 归海(return abroad), adding another step to the trajectory.
Note that 海归 is a noun referring to the group of people, while 归海 is a verb narrating the action of moving.
