Abstract In the context of mobility, how transnational elite migrant practice, reconstruct and perceive the home in receiving country to realize the permanent residence is both a practical and an academic issue. By using qualitative research methods, such as semi-structured in-depth interviews, observation and object tracking, this paper quotes "rooted home" as the geographical concept to explore the cross-border everyday life practise and home construction of transnational elite migrant of rooted type, especially paying attention to the object representing "from developed countries to developing countries", which is a new migration paradigm. It is found that the rooted elite migrants having rooted understanding about home doesn't mean they don't "move", but refers to keeping balance and in touch with their past rooted home. Besides, in the process of home-making in received place, the rooted elite migrants usually use nostalgic everyday life strategies, including dimensions of materiality, emotion and externality. It's easy for elite migrants to realize the material dimension but not the emotional and external dimensions. Moreover, the mobility not only deepens the rooted elite migrants' identification of their past rooted home, but also affects the perception and conception about their present home, meanwhile affecting the orientation and thinking about their future ideal home.

Key words： rooted home elite migrant everyday life mobility
