About Book

[Editor's Recommendations]
★ A novel that betrayed all of Korea!
★ A Korean novel Yu Hua gave to his students! "'Father's Liberation Diary' is very, very well written... After I finished reading it, I gave the book to my doctoral student and said, 'You should study this carefully.'"
★ A lifelong "futile" unlucky man. My communist father, in the first half of his life, fought guerrilla warfare and was imprisoned in Korea, and in the second half of his life, he meddled in rural affairs, dedicating his life to realizing the people's right to be masters of their own country, but was disliked.
★ Jeong Ji-a, female, the Korean Yu Hua. Her works were once banned from sale throughout Korea, and she was detained by the Korean authorities. "May I write novels like rice that people can live on. May I sweat sincerely like a farmer."
★ Sweeping major Korean literary awards such as the Kim Yu-jeong Literary Award, the Sim Hun Literary Grand Prize, and the Lee Hyo-seok Literary Award, recommended for 23 consecutive weeks by Dong-A Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo, and JoongAng Ilbo, the simplified Chinese version is introduced for the first time!
★ The passing of a "sinner," a funeral that "liberates" hearts. All are equal in the face of death; living is a grand struggle.
[Synopsis]
100,000 words, only about the father's 3-day funeral.
Father died, hit a utility pole.
He lived a lifetime of seriousness and rigidity, and in the end, that's how his respectable life ended.
Many people came to the funeral. Estranged relatives, distinguished officials, released prisoners, rebellious delinquent girls... From seventy and eighty-year-olds down to teenagers, those who loved him and those who hated him, those with opposing opinions and irreconcilable differences, all gathered in this small mourning hall, mourning in their own way without interfering with each other.
They all knew and interacted with the father, and there were insurmountable walls between them. But now, at the funeral, a subtle peace stirred, a peace perhaps only achievable in the face of death.
Perhaps, what the father had always fought for was this scene at the funeral.
