Few newspaper companies made the Japanese flag disappear on Son Kee Chung's breast. In the book, this event is caused by Sun Hee's uncle. -
This policy forced Koreans to change their name to a Japanese name. -
Kaneyama means gold and mountain, which is similar to 'Kim.' -
Uncle disappeared because Sun-Hee told him that something terrible would happen to him. -
Tae-Yul starts having an interest in airplanes. Later in the neighborhood accounting, there is an announcement about kamikaze, and Tae-Yul is fascinated by a kamikaze. -
US army sent leaflets from their airplane. Sun-Hee and Tae-Yul brought the leaflet home and showed it to his father. In the leaflet, words are written in Korean, saying that the US army does not think Koreans enemy. -
Tae-Yul had to join the military unless he might help the Japanese find his uncle. -
He joined Kamikaze because generals said Koreans are all cowards, which made him angry. -
Korea celebrates this day annually as a holiday.
'National Liberation Day of Korea.' -
He failed his mission and just came back with his crew, but the war had ended, so he just came back! -
Although Korea is free from Japan, Sun Hee's uncle could not come back home in the book. It was because of communists on the Northside of Korea. This showed me that there would be a war five years later, so I thought the book's ending was happy but also sad.
