Status Updates From Sun-i Samch'on (Bi-lingual ...

This moved me a lot. based on the authors own eye witness account of the 4.3 massacre in jeju, in which the south korean army killed 50k people including women and children out of an anti-communist frenzy. this was even before the korean war. him publishing this story brought him to the jails of the military dictatorship, where he was tortured for it.

Bom livro para conhecer sobre o incidente 4.3 em Jeju. Como já conhecia a história, esperava que este livro pudesse contar um pouco mais de detalhes, mas não foi isso o que aconteceu. O livro é descrito como bilíngue, mas não tem a parte escrita em coreano. Pode ser problema neste ebook que foi comprado na Amazon.

After the publication of this story, Hyun was arrested and tortured by the Joint Investigation Headquarters and his short story collection Sun-i Samch’on, containing the title story, was banned.

Since Samch’on suffered severe psychological trauma in 1949 when the village was torched, the mere sight of a soldier or police officer from a distance would frighten her enough to make her take a long detour, and this symptom of her nervous breakdown was well known to some of the locals.
