"Mole on the Palm", an East Asian family epic spanning thirty years Type of work: Realistic literature, family biography, growth epic Core theme: How suffering tempers the luster of life ? Story introduction In the winter of 1991, on a snowstorm night in Hokkaido, Park Hye-sook, a Korean mother, gave birth prematurely in a foreign country. The newborn's right hand bore a cinnabar mole shaped like an ear of rice. From the snowfields of Hokkaido to the black soil of Jilin, this child who was marked by fate, despite the ordeal of poverty and the loss of his father, turned his stuttering defect into the talent of trilingual switching, and finally used his father's agricultural notes to create a transnational agricultural miracle. In 2020, when he returned to his birthplace with his son, the same cinnabar mole on the baby's palm shone in the morning sun - it turned out that the real inheritance is not blood, but the wisdom that makes suffering bloom. ?
