From the publisher: “The author, whose name signifies ‘to cooperate and create goodness,’ now an adult, tells the story of his own painful childhood.
The boy met his past self. A boy who pretended to be strong to hide his wounds, yet paradoxically despised his own evil ways. The boy offered an apology and comfort to his past self. ‘You must have had a hard time. I'm sorry.’
Initially, the author aimed to write a novel based on personal experiences, but he realized that the story, based on real-life events, lacked exciting twists or the enjoyment that readers seek, potentially making it a book that could be boring or uncomfortable. As a result, he decided to write a short story that encapsulates the most important lesson he learned in a brief period. With the help of many kind people who saw value in his own imperfect story, this book came into being.”
