Kim Ji-Young, Born in 1982

I have always had a question that bothers me: "Do men have the right to reproduce?" After reading this novel, I understood that men do not have the right to reproduce, because no matter how much a boy worries about giving birth, it is all in vain. The pain and suffering are still borne by the woman alone. I have seen many girls faint from giving birth before, but everyone on the man's side is focused on the child. Only her mother cares about her child. It's really chilling to see something like this. But at the same time, I also hope that Zhiying can get rid of the shackles brought by society, family, marriage, etc. And do what she wants to do!

What impressed me deeply was that the old doctor said to her: "Nowadays, we have washing machines and vacuum cleaners, right? What is so hard for women nowadays?" So Jin Zhiying thought to herself: In the past, we had to rummage through patient medical records, handwritten records and write prescriptions one by one. What is so hard for doctors nowadays? In the past, you had to take a paper report to your supervisor for signature. What is so hard for office workers nowadays? In the past, you had to plant rice seedlings by hand and harvest rice with a sickle. What on earth is so hard for farmers now... But no one would say so. Regardless of the field, technology is advancing rapidly and the use of labor is reduced as much as possible, but only "housework" has never been recognized by everyone. After reading this, I just nodded. Many men will use "I've done it for you."

I have actually only read the second part so far, but for the authenticity of her description and my anger, I can't help but comment first... I read the comments before reading the article. When I saw some of the comments, I really found them ridiculous, but I was afraid of accidentally hurting others, so I decided to read the novel itself before commenting. Obviously one is from South Korea and the other is from China, with different cultural backgrounds and different political systems, but I didn't feel sluggish when reading. I don't feel any confusion or doubt about the content of the text. I can even say that I feel the same way... I don't understand why some people in the comment area don't feel the slightest anger or hatred after a female fetus of the same gender is aborted so naturally and as a matter of course. He actually wants to win the respect and freedom of men and spiritual men through "gentle" methods. Even when expressing dissatisfaction, they only dare to say that they are feminists, not women's rights, and they are not asking for preferential treatment and privileges. Why are you so mean? Why are you so cowardly? You try to obtain equality through so-called friendly methods and compromise methods. How can the winner be willing to give up the dividends he has enjoyed for a long time as you wish? The slave wants to gain the master's favor and attention by showing kindness and praying, tsk tsk I wrote the above paragraph because there are too many views in the comments such as "Feminism is not feminism, what we want is equality, not privilege." What I want to say is that a gentle approach and a weak posture will not make the slave owner think that you are a good slave, and then make you the master. From now on, you won't do ugly service, you won't chase stars, you won't create gods, you will get rid of your home, the second dimension, and your sexual fate... Start from 6b4t, put all your energy, your time, and your money on yourself, and focus on your own growth and development. If you don't make a husband, you don't make a father. If you practice it, I believe it will definitely be much better than complaining everywhere and then continuing to tease your son and husband in reality! ! ! I have read them all, and it will not change my mind: gentle methods and plaintive prayers cannot buy respect, freedom, and equality. When the social environment is not friendly to women, women should not put artificial burdens on themselves, such as falling in love, getting married, or having children. They should take care of themselves first.

First of all, let me talk about my inner feelings after reading this book: Every time I read a chapter, my heart felt like being stabbed deeply by a needle, and it ached and hurt. After reading it, my heart felt sour and astringent, smelling like rotten fruit. I will compare Jin Jiying's experience with my experience or the people around me, and I can't help but think and feel. No matter which country or era we live in, men and women are still unequal. Perhaps the law will provide us women with a lot of protection, but society and reality often do not. There will still be discrimination and unfairness. We have always known about the inequality between men and women, but we may not have known what kind of inequality it is, and what kind of troubles and bad effects these inequalities will bring to us women. This book will allow you to gradually take on the role of yourself or others. In short, some new angles and new ideas will emerge. Good books, read more, the more benefits you will get, they can cure stupidity.

I took a lot of notes and thought a lot. How should I put it? I had a nightmare the day after I finished reading it that suppressed me all night. It was the helplessness of fighting against the times and beliefs. I hope that employment discrimination against women will be solved as soon as possible and family values ​​will be affirmed as soon as possible. Before having children, please consider carefully whether you have the financial strength and energy to accompany a new life. You must be yourself before becoming a wife and mother. Otherwise, you will lose yourself and become someone else like Zhiying. It is more comfortable for her to speak through the mouth of others. The postscript mentions that Emma Watson's core philosophy is "not fighting for women's rights, but the freedom of both sexes" and clearly points out that "feminism never means hating men, but anyone who believes in equality is a feminist."

I have heard of this book for a long time, but I have always thought that the topic is heavy and I have never read it. I clicked on it this time but stayed up late to finish reading it in one go. The stories of women from different generations are told smoothly, and there is no depiction of women blindly enduring and indulging in pain. When I was a student, my classmates also made various counterattacks and struggles. No matter what era you are in, there will always be people who have different ideas and choices, and everyone will have their own way of living this life. Women will continue to grow in conflicts, and there is a touch of unexpected humor interspersed in the writing. It is very cute, but the more you look at it, the more sad it becomes. No wonder the book and movie were so popular back then. The book was almost 10 years ago, so it's not out of date. In 2026, I wish myself and women the courage, freedom and relaxation

When I finished reading this book, I was suffering from menstrual cramps to the point of fainting. I tried to distract myself with this. People around me always said that it would be better to get married and have children, but I felt that only children and men could help solve this painful problem? Even if there is a way to give up a few years of my life to never let go of this pain, I will not hesitate to try. Similarly, I don't need men to be indifferent about dysmenorrhea. Without others suffering, how can we know how much suffering we are in, physically and mentally, and having to deal with other people's "concerns". I don't want to be a man in my next life. I hope that if I have a next life, I can truly live in a society where men and women are equal.

With delicate writing style, it writes about the common problems that many women encounter in life today. Women's difficulty in speaking out in society is not only a problem that exists only in Korea, but also a problem that exists all over the world. Perhaps only when men in an advantageous position generally realize that the problem exists, can women's dilemma be truly resolved. At least I think the most important thing right now is to get more men to stop treating women in a condescending manner. After all, gender-differentiated treatment is crushing women, but it is also crushing many men.

If people want to see, they must first break away from ignorance without thinking. This has always been the case. Is it right to be ordinary? Women's rights have been a hot and emotional topic since I came into contact with the Internet. We all live in a society full of prejudices. Men have male prejudices, and women have female prejudices. When we criticize others with prejudice, this sword will also pierce ourselves. Never criticize other people's suffering from the moral high ground.

Kim Ji-young embodies not only the situation of Korean women, but also the situation of women in East Asia as a whole. I can really relate to many scenes. I was bullied by male classmates, molested by male teachers, harassed by male strangers, and harassed by unknown male netizens. I even foresaw my future fate: being forced to get married, being discriminated against when looking for a job, being paid less than male employees, being persuaded to drink, getting married, having children, and being forced to leave my job. I just can't imagine not having a better way to escape! I only hope that thousands of sisters will unite to overthrow this unfair society! !

This book is a portrayal of the women around us, just like a hotly searched topic on the Internet this year: What are the benefits of marriage? Yes, what are the benefits of marriage to women? Is it to prepare meals for a large family every year during the Chinese New Year? Is it when you watch the man's family reunite every Chinese New Year? Is it the man's silence every time he quarrels with his mother-in-law? So, girls, don't be love-minded, don't get married just for the sake of getting married, slowly settle down and improve yourself.

This book is super good-looking and worth pondering. It seems to be a true mirror. I can see how difficult it is for women in the workplace. It is really difficult for women to get married, get married and have children, and balance career and family. Therefore, even in today's society, society is progressing and civilization is improving, but the requirements for women are getting higher and higher. Life is not easy, but we must live hard.

My first reaction after reading it was that I was sad. Society is progressing, but millions of Kim Ji-euns are still struggling, enduring the indifference and discrimination in life. Women's growth space is constantly being squeezed and squeezed. Only thinking is not enough, and only sadness is not enough. After being enlightened, we must use the sharpest knife to break the situation and fight for the rights and social resources we deserve. The slogan of equality between men and women must be shouted louder and louder, and the knife in the hand must be swung faster and faster. There is true freedom at the end of this road. Gender is never a boundary, and equality is the best outcome.

Just like the record, it is not inconsistent with China at all. Some parts are thought-provoking. Not only women, but men should also read it to correct the traditional society's view of the third child.

I felt a lot after reading this book. As a woman, I have also encountered unfair treatment and heard disrespectful words in my life. Just because she is a woman, doing housework is a matter of course. Her family never cares whether these tasks should be shared by everyone who enjoys family resources. Every time, the only thing that comes to her ears is: "This is what a girl should be like." I can't understand why the boys in the family can feel at ease and don't have to work, and no one will blame them. Even if they intervene in some small things, they will be greatly appreciated. The difference between women and men, starting from this moment at home, is the difference in the way they are treated as "ordinary people who work hard to take care of the family" and "the proud people who do whatever they want". Then I gradually entered the society from school, and some invisible, explicit, men, women, old, young, knowledgeable, and ignorant people came to me with all kinds of unkindness. But I know it's not because of me, because when it comes to these things, there is always an invisible force trying to hold me down. This force comes from the prejudice that men are superior to women. I wanted to resist, so I rarely opened my mouth to refute. Although it didn't directly hit the core of gender-based differential treatment, this soft punch at least made a difference. I don't want to use high-level banners to reverse the status quo to "women are better than men." This is wrong. I just want equality and respect. However, this idea was already regarded as unreasonable when it first emerged. There is no other reason than that it offends the pedantry of some old ideas. I was powerless to change the current situation. The only thing I was thankful for was that in this noisy world of ideas, I was still able to maintain my own sobriety. Although I was almost blindfolded at a certain period, fortunately I stabilized my knees and did not kneel to the old cannibalistic thoughts. Because of the power of women, I was lifted up. And I still believe that progress will sooner or later bring respect to women in the world.

Very good! The content of the book is rather dull, but this dullness is the common life of ordinary women. There is a sense of black humor when looking at the male perspective in the book. The whole book is true, absurd and satirical. This book deserves four stars, so it can be seen by more people. It is recommended to read.

In society, family education and the interpretation of film and television dramas, we can find that people seem to like to let girls take such a road - a wedding road that seems to be filled with the fragrance of flowers, applause and the singing of birds. What is wrapped in such sweet honey? And the added posts 🚫, books about birth injuries 🚫, works about housework 🚫, stories about elderly women getting divorced and running away 🚫, the truth is covered in thick dust. Books can only show stories, and it's up to you to think about them. The path you want to take depends only on you, and you cannot leave the decision to others. I recommend her movie of the same name. The most touching scene in the movie is when her mother came to visit after learning that Jin Jiying was ill. When she was about to leave after saying some words of concern, Jin Jiying's grandma personality came out. She (grandma personality) apologized to her mother for not caring about her when she was a child, so that she had to be strong on her own since she was a child and go work on her own, which is why she has a long scar from her thumb to her palm. The mother looked at her daughter's face, said what a grandma would say, shed tears silently, and hugged her daughter. While I was moved by the sincere feelings, I was also saddened by why the three roles of grandma, mother, and daughter were separated by their last names. Can we change anything? We don't play their game, we just have to withstand the pressure and not get involved.

It's much shorter than expected, but it's all quality stuff, no nonsense. It feels like a very ordinary daily life, something that happens to us ordinary women every minute, so natural that we are accustomed to it. I hope that more women will remain unmarried and infertile and achieve more high social status.

I actually read this book because I wanted to know what Kim Ji-young's exit was. The author didn't give a specific solution. It just showed that Kim Ji-young's situation was getting better little by little. The movie did give a way to return to the workplace and find herself. Handing over the parenting work to your significant other is the most ideal way, and it is only the screenwriter and director's optimal interpretation of Ji-young, but it is impossible to exist in real life. As the author said at the end, society should have more understanding and recognition of mothers who take on family childcare work, and should also provide them with more opportunities to choose.

We are all Kim Ji Young Even though she was born twenty-two years later and lived in an era when feminism was already prevalent, she was still inevitably imprisoned by traditional thinking. I still don't know how to say no when faced with rude requests. I am unwilling and powerless. Although I have always claimed that I will not get married and have children, under the siege of society and my parents, I cannot guarantee that I will not follow the same path as Jin Jiying. I still hope that society can give mothers more tolerance. At the same time, I can't help but reflect on my own attitude towards my mother.

It writes very realistically about the inequality, discrimination, and disrespect that Korean girls encounter in the process from birth to marriage and having children. It reminds me that I have been in a similar situation to Kim Ji-young since I was a child. When I saw Kim Ji-young step by step into a state of depression, I only felt sad, sympathetic, and helpless. I also have countless moments when I hear others blame or complain about me, but I dare not refute them in front of those people. I only dare to complain in my heart afterwards. When I read that there are very brave girls in the book who stand up to resist unfair treatment, bravely defend their rights and interests to those in power, and take the initiative to lend a helping hand when they see other girls in need. Every time I see such words, a warm current overflows in my heart and soothes my soul. Finally, I hope that I can also bravely stand up to help girls who encounter difficulties, and also bravely speak out for the unfair situation faced by women in this society.

I couldn't bear to read it until half way through. The social status of women is written too realistically, and unfair treatment of gender is even considered as a matter of course. It's not that someone deliberately suppresses and hurts women, it's because they feel that women's contribution should be so. This is the tragedy of the entire society. Fortunately, the consciousness of women is awakening from generation to generation, and women are strong. This article is fluent and understated, but it makes the mountain of sexism pressing on women very realistic, and even gives a real sense of suffocation.

This is a short story of less than 80,000 words, but every word is about the little things in the growth process of women that are not seen, understood and respected by others. The novel ends abruptly, which is a new journey for women to explore, struggle and work hard. What we want is the freedom of both sexes, not the "hegemony" of men over women, or women over men.

"Kim Ji-young Born in 1982" is a novel written by the Korean female writer Cho Nam-joo. The book has attracted widespread attention and discussion since its publication. Here is my review of this book: First of all, this book depicts the life trajectory of the protagonist Kim Ji-young in a delicate way. Kim Ji-young is an ordinary Korean woman. Her experiences of growing up, studying, finding a job, marriage, and raising children are all full of challenges and dilemmas. She was constantly troubled by traditional concepts, social constraints and realistic challenges, and eventually fell into a state of mental breakdown. Through the story of Kim Ji-young, this book profoundly reveals the widespread gender discrimination and the plight of women in Korean society, and triggers readers to think deeply about women's rights and social equality. Secondly, the narrative style of this book is very unique. The author uses alternating first-person and third-person narration methods to cleverly integrate Jin Zhiying's inner monologue and the plot of her husband seeking psychological treatment for her. This narrative method not only allows readers to have a deeper understanding of Jin Zhiying's inner world, but also makes her dilemma and struggle more realistically presented to readers. At the same time, the author also conducted an objective and in-depth analysis of Jin Zhiying's condition from the perspective of a doctor, making the whole story more convincing and credible. Additionally, the language of this book is excellent. The author uses concise and powerful language to express Jin Zhiying's dilemma and struggle vividly. At the same time, the book also intersperses a large number of dialogues and inner monologues, making the whole story more vivid and real. Readers can clearly feel Jin Zhiying's anger, helplessness and despair, and can also understand her pain and struggle. Finally, the value of this book not only lies in revealing the sex discrimination and women's plight in Korean society, but also in that it triggers readers' thinking about women's rights and social equality. This book makes us realize that women are not born weak, they also have the right to pursue happiness and success. At the same time, this book also reminds us that society should provide more support and help to women so that they can grow and develop in an equal and just environment. Overall, "Kim Ji-young Born in 1982" is a very excellent novel. With its delicate writing style, unique narrative style and excellent language, it profoundly reveals the gender discrimination and women's plight in Korean society, and triggers readers to think deeply about women's rights and social equality. This book not only has high literary value, but also has high social value.

2025.12.4 Record the 132nd book I have read. The total reading time is two hours. A classic that cannot be more classic. I strongly recommend that all women read this book. I hope that the women who watch it can see the dilemma they are in and be able to clearly realize their individual subjectivity. Especially women who want to live a secular life, get married and have children, must be cautious, consider the costs clearly, think of all the bad things ahead, and be fully prepared mentally, so that they will not be confused when difficulties come. I hope that every girl who sees this comment can live the way she wants and encourage each other [love] [love] [love]

It's so realistic. When I read it, I felt really sad about the powerlessness. I wanted to find a glimmer of light, but found that I was living in a sealed black box.

The book details the five stages of Kim Ji-young's life: childhood, high school, college, career stage, and married life. Each stage depicts in detail society's deep-rooted prejudice and contempt for women, vividly displaying the idea of ​​favoring men over women. Jin Zhiying's life is very close to real life, so close that it seems that every woman is the epitome of Jin Zhiying. Jin Zhiying in the book has struggled and worked hard, but it is the society she is fighting against. In the end, he was forced to accept her and integrate into this society. I hope that each of us women can shine, draw our own blueprint, and not be constrained by society. !

It's very real, not many words, and can be read quickly. It's really like a documentary. The protagonist's experience is experienced by many women. In reality, I am a weak person. I was very moved when I saw the people in the book who stepped forward to help the protagonist. There are still people who are speaking out and fighting for it, which makes people feel that the world is not too bad.

It seems that we can see ourselves, sisters, classmates, mothers, daughters, etc. In Jin Jiying, and we can see the common points of all East Asian women. This is not like a novel, but more like a running account record, recording the helpless and sad life of all women who are suppressed by the world around them.

The story of the protagonist in the book can also be regarded as a common phenomenon in the three countries of East Asia. Before reading this book, I watched a bit of the movie of the same name, but I didn't finish the movie. I wanted to read the original book and see a complete story. It's just that the author only revealed this phenomenon, focused on an individual, and talked about a person and the current situation around her, without a direction or solution for her future. Maybe this is exactly what women are going through. It is a long road to improve and change. Let us wake up, strive for it with all our strength, and strengthen ourselves.
