Very detailed realistic story of the Korean war.

My brother was a Korean 포병소위였었고 전쟁과 함께 식구들과는 연락이 끊겼다.

It was the summer of 1950. I was in the 4th grade in primary school (청계국민학교).

Our family left Seoul (ran away from the communist police) as my father's life was in danger.

We were hidding in 충남 예산군 삽교리위 어느깊은 촌 마을.

동내 빨갱이들이 우리를 수상적게 생각하지 않었길래 살아남었다.

엊그제 같은데 그게 70년전 얘기다. 70년...

Eversince, 나의 끝없는 방랑이 시작되어 오늘은 눈내린 Christmas in Denver, Colorado.

I can understand what your family went through during the war. I 

have been studying and writing about the Korean War for about a year.

I was too young to have any visual recollection of the war. But

I can feel what was it like then. Now, It touches my heart when I hear

your story of the war. 
 

I do not think there is any family who was unscathed by the war. My 

biological mother died when I was 12 years old. My stepmother was 

born in 정주, 평안남도, and went 경기여고. She married a professor of 

history in 서울문리대 when the war broke. Her husband was taken by 

인민군.  She fled to 이리, 전라북도, and met my father.
