I am not talking about your son only. I was like that.
- A refugee
What? Are you saying that you were a refugee, too and understand us, things like that?
- Kang Mae
No. I wasn’t a refugee but I was a poor bright student who loved to study. I was a school leader many times. There is a disadvantage being smart. I realized how this world worked too soon. I knew one day that the rich gets richer and the poor continues to be poor. I knew I would be poor like this until I die no matter how hard I might try. So, I built my self esteem instead. I chinned up all the time. I might want others to think that I had chosen to be poor, not by destiny.
I held on to myself that way but my effort became nothing after flooding. There was no more a poor but proud kid. From then on I lived in a container but didn’t want to receive donation. I was a homeless who didn’t even know what my situation was.

I thought about dying at that time. I blamed my mom who had thrown me in this nasty world. There was a solution. It was leaving this world with my mom. My mom was paralyzed at that time. Her phlegm needed to be taken out every 3 minutes for her to breathe. I didn’t need to do anything except waiting about 10 minutes. Just then there was a sound from the next door that I had never heard before. It was so beautiful.
- Kang Mae
It was true. I saw an orchestra if it was a dream or an illusion. I saw a future me who was conducting the orchestra. It was a salvation, comforting, and power. Then I became a conductor.
It’s the clip from this episode. It plays Beethoven Symphony No. 9.
