Notes

出生 is a formal and neutral term. It is often used in written language, official documents, and formal speech. In casual conversation, people might simply say ... (I am from...) when referring to their origin.

Avoid confusing 出生 with 生活 (life, living) or 产生 (to produce, generate), as 出生 specifically refers to the event of birth.
