Ms. Misun, a mother who lost three fingers and her dreams in a childhood accident
Chinese compatriot Misun (49 years old) lost three fingers in an accident while working at a factory to help out with her family’s difficult financial situation at the age of 17. She had to undergo multiple transplant surgeries because her hands were damaged by machinery. Before the accident, Misun had dreamed of working with her hands as a beautician or skin care professional, but she was unable to achieve that dream. After marrying a Korean man and having a son, Misun was forced to raise her two sons alone after her husband’s sudden death. She works as a disabled person’s activity assistant during the day and works part-time at a convenience store at night, living a hard life as the head of her household. Despite this, Misun is grateful for the two fingers she has left, and she is overcoming the hardships with her strong mother’s love.
Mr. Gayang, a son with severe intellectual disability who needs help from his mother
My eldest son, Gayang, who is 26 years old this year, has a severe intellectual disability with the intellectual ability of a five-year-old. He needs help from his mother, Misun, even in daily life, such as washing and changing clothes. When he was young, I thought he was just a child with a little developmental delay, even though he couldn’t communicate properly. However, as Gayang grew up, I realized that he talked to himself a lot and had difficulty controlling his emotions, so he received psychiatric treatment and medication. Gayang received self-reliance and job training at an education center, and likes to shop at the mart. However, he has difficulty calculating money, so he sometimes has trouble running errands or buying things he wants. Although he still has difficulty recognizing and remembering objects, Gayang is receiving various education and is steadily working to grow.
A mother’s fears and regrets before breast cancer surgery

Although she is afraid of the surgery, Ms. Misun’s biggest worry is that she will have to leave her first child, Mr. Gayang, to her second child, who is a high school student. Ms. Misun is worried about the empty space left by her mother during her hospitalization and the lives of her children who need a helping hand. She is also worried about the cost of chemotherapy and radiation treatment that may be required after the surgery, and even her livelihood.
To the mother who regained her strength and did not lose hope with her two sons
