reservoir It was in 1980 45 years ago. There is a barren mountain behind the house and a reservoir beyond the mountain. It is a large reservoir with an area of 5㎢. It is the Cheongho Reservoir. It means a clear lake. Originally, it was the sea. It was built by blocking the sea to use it for agricultural water. they boarded a little ferry from one side of the reservoir to the other village. This is because..
sleep & Death How many hours do you sleep?When I was young, I was told sleep was a waste of time. “Six hours is enough,” they said. “If you want to pass a GOOD college, sleep just five hour.”And I believed it.In my 20s and 30s, if I stayed up late, I’d just wake up late. If I drank all night, I’d sleep in the morning and get up in the afternoon.But after I turned 40, my body started to change. One of the bigg..
DRUNKEN I had my first drink back in 1983, when I was just 12. And there’s actually a pretty funny story behind it.One day, a friend and I were walking along a mountain trail when we spotted a bunch of bulldog puppies playing in the grass. They were so cute that we couldn’t resist joining them. We rolled around and played with them, totally lost in the moment. But suddenly, the mother bulldog burst out ..
Radio and I Until the early 1980s, our house was deep in the mountains, and we didn’t even have electricity. Naturally, there was no TV or stereo. Kids today have their smartphones as their best friends, but back then, my soulmate was the radio.As you know, radios have AM and FM channels. AM was good for news, talk shows, and dramas, while FM was more about music. FM broadcasting only started in my area aro..
Animal and I When I was little, my home was deep in the mountains.We lived with goats, chickens, dogs, rabbits, pigs, and cows, and the hillside behind our house was always full of birds.Animals recognize people too. Especially cows and goats—they’re herbivores, and their eyes looked crystal clear.We couldn’t use a tractor on the sloped fields, so we used cows to plow. The roads weren’t paved, and there were..
friends It was back in 1984, when I was in the 6th grade. Our class held a popularity vote, and out of 50 students, I ended up being the most popular.I thought having a lot of friends was a great thing. Some people say it’s important to have a wide social network. Now that I’m in my mid-50s, I can say this: sure, having lots of friends has its benefits—but it's perfectly fine not to have many. Life is l..
love story I recently came across an interesting philosophy column in the newspaper. It went something like this: love is a kind of structure. Once people enter that structure, they all end up repeating the same patterns—foolishlyso. In a romantic relationship, the one who loves more is always at a disadvantage, and the one who loves less holds the power. Just as celestial bodies endlessly orbit, drawn by ..
Climate crisis It’s getting hotter and hotter these days. When I was a kid, we had four distinct seasons. We lived in a temperate climate. But now, it feels more like a subtropical one. Forty years ago, summer lasted from June to August—just three months. Now, it starts in May and stretches all the way to October. That’s almost half the year.I don’t like summer. I start sweating even with the slightest movemen..
