When frustrated by the walls of reality, what new world can I open through my inner imagination?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I returned as an adult to this book I had known only from textbooks, I met the bitter solitude of a genius named Kim Si-seup. Despairing of an unjust world, he fled into the mountains, and through strange tales that cross between ghosts and the underworld he paradoxically sang of the most human desires and the most human love. These uncanny stories are no simple old fables. They are the moving record of one man's struggle, who, when reality refused to bend to his will, defended a world of his own through imagination. It is good to open when you long to escape the gravity of the real.
"Though we walked different paths in life, I wish for us to be buried in the same grave in death."Kim Si-seup, Geumo Sinhwa
