My mother told me a story about how she and her brother were left at home while their mother went to work. Their mother wanted them to lock the door and not let anyone in, but the brother and sister did not listen. The tiger snuck its paw in through a window and said in a high-pitched voice, Open up. This is your mother. unlock the door.

My father took me to a store to buy pencils for me to draw with. He explained that the profits made at the store were given to the government, and that anyone who sold things privately would be a capitalist.

When we arrived at Yuseon, my father instructed my sister and me to stay where we were, nestled together on the vinyl seats in the compartments. Out the window, I could see people in dark factory clothes, their pace stiff and quick. Their drawn faces and heavy eyes revealed their exhaustion.

#11

My grandmother’s house was one of eight houses built together. It had a front door painted the pale blue of a planting-season sky and sliding doors that divided the long and narrow house into three sections. I was in charge of cleaning the rooms farthest away from the main room, where my grandmother read the serials in the newspaper.

One day, I was outside playing with my sister when a neighbor lady came to our house and asked us to come inside and play with her kids. I had never been inside anyone else’s home except for a relative’s.
