This is "Writing About Park Wan-suh's Family," which explores the narrative core that runs through the works of author Park Wan-suh.

The starting point of Park's writing is family.

She restored stories of everyday life, such as the era when motherhood and sacrifice were equated, and the reality of a patriarchal system where fathers were often treated as strangers.

The reason these past family stories still resonate today is that by confronting the raw reality of family, she restored them into universal human stories, leading to healing.
