I don't think I've ever once felt like I didn't like doing those errands .

         At that time, my father's authority was absolute in our family ,

         No one dares to look at my father with displeasure , reject his wishes ,
         or It was an atmosphere where one could not challenge oneself ,

         My father used to teach us etiquette whenever he had time .

         Among my family of 3 boys and 4 girls , my father especially cared for
         me like my grandfather . Following my grandfather, I also had my father'

         s love all to myself .



         However, I don't know why , but my father often hit my mother .
         One day , when I entered the house, my mother's eyes were black and b

         ruised .



         If my father and mother fought in front of the whole family , my father w
         ould hit my mother with his hand .

         At times like that, I hated my father so much . But strangely enough , m

         y father never hit my mother when I was around .
         So, when my father and mother fought, I was the ‘ resolver’ .

         Now that I think about it , I think my father didn't want to show that side

         of himself in front of me . I really hated that kind of father .
         who had no ability , scolded his mother every now and then , did only us

         eless things , and loved his friends and neighbors more than himself ,

         more than his family . promised myself over and over again that I would

         not live like my father .


         My grandfather was generous , good at business , wealthy , and he care

         d for his family very much . On the other hand, my father died after livin
         g with illness all his life .



         It's so sad . Nowadays, lung disease is not even treated as a disease , bu

         t unfortunately, at that time, lung disease was considered a disease that
         almost killed people if contracted . ( The pulmonary tuberculosis vaccin

         e was only commercialized in the 1950s . )                                                   QR
