Musong (Chinese: 目送; pinyin: Mùsòng; lit. 'Seeing off'), translated as Watching You Go in English,[1] is a collection of 74 prose pieces written by Lung Ying-tai, published in October 2009. The stories are about the relationships between Lung's family members; her father's death, her mother's aging, her children leaving, her friends' concerns for her, and working with her siblings.

This book's style is different from the critical and incisive style of Lung's other book, Big River, Big Sea. In contrast, Musong's style is gentle and lyrical. The autobiographical stories narrate Lung's failures, weakness, depression and loss, rather than present persuasive argument or describe historical occurrences.
