Medicine and Thorn

About This Novel

In a desolate and cold land in the Northeast, time is as blurry as snow, but memories begin to vaguely emerge from childhood. The father is a disabled person who stubbornly clings to his broken body and barren fields, exchanging his sweat for the family's meager livelihood. The son, burdened with hope and confusion, goes to South Korea to work under the squeeze of the times. In the factory in a foreign land, the cold sound of machines crushed the local accent, but the burden of life made him breathless. During a physical examination, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Pills became his numb support against reality, but they also pierced the connection between him and his father in China like a thorn. The father defends his hometown while the son drifts in a foreign land. Medicine and thorns intertwine to create a story of the disintegration and struggle of a peasant family in the Northeast. As times change, they each endure silent pain, trying to find each other across the distance.
