📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Are you willing to step onto the rough path of solidarity to stand against the injustices of the world?

📝ONGO's Reflection

I remember how my heart blazed as a child reading the scene where the hundred and eight heroes gather at Liangshan. Water Margin dynamically portrays how those driven to the frontier by corrupt power come to recognize one another and bind together in loyalty. The way these outsiders, each carrying his own wound and story, gather to raise a mighty wave makes me realize that true solidarity is not the union of the perfect, but the rough-hewn loyalty of the wounded.

— ONGO · Curator
"Just as stars gather by the will of heaven, heroes unite for the righteousness of the earth."
Shi Nai'an, Water Margin
"별들이 하늘의 뜻을 받아 모이듯, 영웅들은 땅의 의리를 위해 모여든다."
