In 1929, Korea was occupied and governed by Japan. As a result, many Japanese people migrated to Korea and began living here. They discriminated against Korean students and Korean people.

Like father, like daughter
Far back in the past, I was rummaging through the contents of boxes for an old book, when I encountered a diary that my youngest daughter Ji-seon had kept when she was a fourth grader in elementary school.

My liberation from hyper-myopia
My liberation from hyper-myopia

Brother Andre
Alfred Bessette (1845-1937) was one of those called to be a follower of Jesus.

No more war
Sometimes when I feel cold during the night, it is not a good sign. I used to feel that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed on such mornings. For the last few days, I have felt like that. I have been concerned about my mother's health, as she could not eat well and was not in good shape.

About originality
About originality
I once asked a former biology professor long ago, if I say or write “ATP is the energy currency of the cell,” do I have to cite the source of the statement?
