Definition
远去 is a literary verb meaning to 'disappear in the distance' or 'travel far away.' It often describes a person, object, or abstract concept (like time or sound) moving away steadily until it is no longer visible or present. The word carries a poetic or narrative tone, so you'll find it more in written Chinese, stories, and lyrics than in everyday conversation.
