About This Book
Jeong-min, a proactive student activist, is my girlfriend. When it is
only two of us, we talk about none of the activism issues, but about many other
things, like family, books, music, dreams, odd experiences, etc. Once we talked
about a woman’s nude picture, my grandfather used to claim that it was from the
World War II. On that very night, Jeong-min and I traveled on a whim to my
parents’ old house in the countryside to look for the photo. Although I am not
really into the activism organized around the college campus, in 1991, everyone
is somehow involved, and that summer, I am sent to Berlin to assist the student
activists who are to visit North Korea. While home-staying in Berlin, I listen
to a guy’s story of Nazi’s Jewish camps, run into a video tape of a Korean
construction worker becoming a radical activist, think of my grandfather’s story
of World War II, and recall my uncle who was beaten in high school and later
killed himself from the trauma - everyone who did not care for the politics at
the time, yet whose very individual life influenced and swayed by the historical
events....
