Mom and Son
My mom had only one eye. I hated her just because of this. She was embarrassment. One day she came to our school. I couldn't believe. How could she do this? After that all classmates taunted me:"Does your mother have one eye?" I told her what I wanted to tell: "Why do you have only one eye? Why don't you just die?" I wanted to study well, be successful, and get rid of her and this poverty. I did. I studied well. Moved to Seoul. Became a successful businessman. Forgot my mom.
One day, a woman came to our house, and scared my daughter with her one eye. I screamed at her: "Get out of here!" She apologized and left. I was happy that she did not recognize me.  That day I got a letter regarding school reunion. After reunion, on my way home, I saw my mom lying on the ground. I did not cry. I saw a letter on her hand:
"My son
I think I have lived long enough. I won't visit Seoul anymore. But would it be too much to ask you to visit me once a while? I miss you so much. I was very happy when I heard that you would go to school reunion. But I decided not to go there. For you. I am sorry that I had only one eye. I was embarressment for you.
You see, when you were a little child, you got into an accident and lost your eye. I could not stand to watch you growing up with one eye, and gave mine to you. I was proud of my son who was seeing the whole world instead of me, with that eye. I was never upset when you were angry with me. I miss you so much. I love you."
My world shattered. Then I cried for the person who lived for me. My mother.

Love your mothers. They really live for you.

Korean people seem to have different values from those we are used to appreciate... At least that boy...
I am sure that people can HATE their parents only in one case: when parents hate them (or sometimes when parents hate their parents but this is a bit different topic). It happens when parents do not spend any time or love on their siblings, when they are cruel towards them and so on. So children's character depends on parent's attitude towards them. You can only get back things that you contribute, you know.
In this story I think it is doubtless that this mother loved her son. But how could she get this hatred from him? Where did it come from? Korean secret...

It's not unbelievable, and can be real story. I agree with Nara, and I think all of us got the message. smile

Yes, of corse it is unbelievable that son hated his mother because she had one eye. But actually, story itself isn't so important as the inferences we can make from it.

OMG, his attitude horrified me. Just because his mother lacked one eye, he almost loathed her! Unbelievable! I don't think it's true-to-life story. For instance, there could be an ill mother, confined to bed, absolutely helpless. Her son would have to take care of her all the time. He probably would hate her for that. Though it's also very cruel. But that woman had physical deficiency which actually didn't cause him any trouble. I don't get him.
