所以以前出去了就不会回中国了的那些人,现在只是出去玩玩儿

The phrase 出去了就不会回中国了 is a huge one modifying 那些人. I feel that by the time I get to 那些人 I've forgotten/scrambled up all of the modifiers, cause it's so different than English where the noun is established and then it is modified. Here in Chinese, you have to be conscious of all of these modifiers before you even know what the subject is! Any tips/thoughts on this as sentences get more advanced?
