it means how are you holding up in life, how are you handling life ? – just a different expression of putting it.

I’m not a native English speaker so I looked for it. It’s spelled “faring”, not “faring”, as it comes from the verb “to fare” (not “to fair”).

To fare = to get along = to get on.

It means, how are you doing? How’s life? That sorta thing.
