If there is one important thing that I can
change, I would like to change our unpalatable war history into our peace history.
Especially, a history of former comfort women is a bitter memory to Korean. Due
to the social trauma caused by the war, there are many people who still have been
going through a hard time to overcome it. Also, many issues related to it have
not been solved. For this reason, I desire to erase the history. It is very
hard to see people suffering.
During the colonial era by Japan, there was
an information on a job through word of mouth. A lot of my grandmother’s
generation went the rumored place. They didn’t know what they do. They went just
because they had to solve a financial problem. However, it was the place that
Japan army convened young girls as former comfort women who were raped by force
during a war. It has been remained as one of the most ferocious days.
When I went to a museum of them, it baffled
me. Former comfort women have desperately waited for more than 60 years for such
a proper resolution. Also, my grandfather went to the protests. I have known the
history for a long time through education and family. However, I didn’t do
anything for it because the history and protests were very common place. I missed
the important history I took for granted. In the museum, my spur of the moment
decision to fight with them came in my mind. As a Korean, I thought that I am
liable for the history too. However, it was not easy at all. When I faced a
reality of our rotten structure of regime, we were the one coming under fire by
government. At first glance, I could endure the unilateral blame. However, as
time goes by, the situation was getting worse because former comfort women are
very old to fight.
I have fought for them since I went to the
museum. Sometimes, I think that if there is a magic, I would like to make it
didn’t happen. |
