When war came again, an eighty-seven-year-old man decided to do the last thing - assassinate the Prime Minister.
On the eve of Country C's decision to launch a resource war against neighboring countries, the Prime Minister delivered an impassioned speech to tens of thousands of people in the square. No one noticed that there was a white-haired old woman in the crowd, walking calmly towards the police line.
She was once called the "White Ghost."
Sixty years ago, she used a sniper rifle to stop an invasion in a foreign snowfield.
Sixty years later, in her homeland, she will use an old military thorn to prevent history from repeating itself.
This is not revenge, this is not rebellion.
This is a trial of conscience that spans time and space.
She is a mother, to all those in power who have forgotten the teaching of "Don't do bad things",
Final reminder.
"Every mother teaches her children: Don't do bad things."
"Did your mother teach you?"
From the snowfield sniper point to the Supreme Court, from the silence of the military camp to the mother's defense line, "Mom" not only tells the life of a woman, but also a story of how simple truth survives the erosion of violence, forgetfulness and time, and ultimately shakes the direction of history.
When the dome of law drops its verdict, and when the gears of war begin to turn, only those who remember their mother's first lesson can carve marks on the snow that will never melt.
This is a novel about war and peace, law and justice, sin and redemption.
But ultimately,
This is a story about a mother.
Because all grand history is ultimately written in the eyes of mothers waiting for their children to come home.
