<link rel="stylesheet" href="../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" >
and from css file like this...
@import url('../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css');
but they doesn't help....

You need not use node_modules instead, the easy way of doing it is to download Font Awesome from https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/get-started/
Then, extract the files your public folder (You need to define the public directory in express)
Then, In the <head></head> section of your HTML, add:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
You can also checkout their official examples. The same thing applies to Font Awesome 5 But, you need to download from https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/hosting-font-awesome-yourself
I have an ejs app in production that uses font awesome and I just use the CDN. But also Atheesh Thirumalairajan post is a valid way. Just make sure you are serving from a public folder.
