Someone asked me if this is a true story. I thought for a long time how to answer this question? If I could I wish this story had never happened.
My father once asked me a question after he fell ill, how long do you think you will be happy in this life? He said: "In the days before your mother got married, I felt that my existence was meaningless and I had no family. Your mother gave me a home, so I always wanted to be nice to your mother over the years. It wasn't until you were born and you smiled at me with your crying face that I felt that it should be like having a family. Every day that I can watch you grow up, I am grateful to God for allowing me to participate in your life. Every day after I became ill, I am more eager to live than before."
I always thought about him always saying that he had no "home", so I wrote this story about "home".
The nagging story talks about the changes that the times have brought to this man living in a small city called "Hegang" in the Northeast...
