DAY 148
The Story of Hong Gildong
洪吉童傳
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Faced with the world's outdated limits, do I resign myself or cross the boundaries?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I reopened as an adult this book I had read in childhood only as an adventure tale, I was deeply moved by the searing record of one man's resistance. The pain of a child of a concubine, who may not call his father "father," touches the frustration of all of us who have struck against invisible walls of rank and discrimination. Refusing to conform to the order of an absurd world, Heo Gyun, through the figure of Gildong carving out his own path, awakens the revolutionary spirit within us.

"Since I cannot call my father 'father' and my brother 'brother', how can I be considered a proper man?"Heo Gyun, The Story of Hong Gildong
"아버지를 아버지라 부르지 못하고 형을 형이라 부르지 못하니, 어찌 사람이라 하겠습니까."
