DAY 71
The Tale of Sim Chong
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What is the true meaning of salvation and love hidden behind the act of ultimate sacrifice?
📝ONGO's Reflection
As a child I knew it only as the story of a devoted daughter who gave her life for her father. But the Tale of Sim Chong I read again as an adult was a vast epic questioning the darkness of a society that demands blind sacrifice, and the boundless human love that blooms within it even so. As Sim Chong leaps into the raging waters of Indangsu, her heart must have held, along with fear, a fierce resolve to win back the light for her father's eyes. Could we, for the sake of another, willingly give up the thing most precious to us?
