Stories that remind us of the event in Gwang-joo, which is destined to be forgotten any time soon.
This book contains three different stories about Gwang-joo Democratic Movement. The writer traces and represents the meaning of Gwang-joo event that has come to be a part of our daily lives. A girl had to struggle to feed her family and endure difficulties of this world. A man who barely eked out a living traced his lost arm. An innocent person had to change his life with a criminal. All of these are attributed to Gwang-joo movement. The writer says, "Characters in the story are nameless people, because there is no need to reveal individual's name and most people had to live almost same lives in those days." It means most people in those days had to live the same lives regardless of their own personalities under the era of being silenced.
Through this book, Gwang-joo which was almost forgotten would revive from the pressure of history. And Gwang-joo would be a new base for us to live new lives. That is why the writer chooses Gwang-joo as a controversial 'hot potato' right here, right now.
