I will be there

Author: Kyung Suk Shin Publication date: 2021 Category: Story and Novel Number of pages: 369 Publisher: Al-Mahrousa *** There will be a story about young people living in a tragic time. It is also a story of people finding themselves scattered, despite the love each one bears for the other; because they carry inside them very deep wounds to overcome. People fighting to be together again. Their story takes place in the 1980s and early 1990s in South Korea, the same period when I was in my twenties and early thirties. The dictatorship of Park Chung-hee, which lasted long, collapsed, but what replaced it was not freedom, but a new dictatorship led by General Chun Doo-hwan. During that time, South Korean youth, including university students, protested in the streets, where they were almost daily attacked with tear gas in their pursuit of democracy and freedom.
