Description
Book Introduction
The true and strong voice of our youth literature
Moon Kyung-min's new works, "Hulhul" and "We Were Thirteen"
Like a small bridge supporting the weight of the strings
Moving forward while enduring the weight of dreams
The touching footsteps of eighteen cellists
Poor family circumstances, ambiguous talent.
Seo In-hye, a young cellist, faces the college entrance exam competition right before her eyes and the future that lies ahead of her.
In-hye, who is deeply heartbroken after the sudden death of her grandmother, whom she relied on, is confronted by her teacher, Mr. Eom, who she had a bad relationship with in middle school, as a judge.
After the suspicious practical exam, rumors of exam manipulation quickly spread throughout the school, and hidden secrets surrounding Teacher Eom are revealed one by one, and cracks begin to appear in Inhye's daily life, which was like thin ice...
Moon Kyung-min, a bestselling author of youth literature and winner of the Honbul Literary Award, Munhakdongne Youth Literature Award, Kwon Jeong-saeng Literary Award, and Bang Jeong-hwan Literary Award for his profound writing, has returned with a graceful work that is both enjoyable to read and deeply moving.
The new work, "Bridge," is a story about "dreams" and "life," which, like the bridge, a small goose-footed structure that firmly supports the four strings and transmits all the vibrations and resonances of the cello, endure and bend without ever breaking.
The author's exceptional narrative skills draw readers deeply into the story, yet never misses a moment of the message of solidarity and hospitality that soothes the sorrows of the world.
If we can call youth literature the very act of "growth" that leads to the discovery of a better life, it would be thanks to author Moon Kyung-min.

Into the book
The performance on the practical exam greatly influenced the course's life.
Even the orchestra seating arrangements were based on grades.
After the exam results were announced, a list of audition candidates was posted on the music and bulletin board to select performers to collaborate with, but if you didn't rank high, you wouldn't be able to make it on the list.
---p.11
It was a pity that the bridge, which had been holding up against the tension of the strings, ended up bending.
The bent bridge was the first bridge that connected Inhye and the cello.
---p.25
“Inhye, that teacher is the devil in this world.”
'Devil' was the nickname of teacher Eom Jeong-hyeon that I heard from my mother when I was in the 6th grade of elementary school.
---p.46
It's not that there was nothing wrong or out of place, but the performance itself was good.
As I drew the bow, it felt like countless circles were drawn in my mind.
A longing joy that she had once felt but had forgotten for a while gently welled up in Inhye's heart.
After the performance, teacher Jeong Dan-ah opened her mouth with a faint smile on her face.
“You are the kind of person who should be doing music.”
---p.78
“I have a question.”
With a long sigh, Professor Eom Jeong-hyeon said.
“Ask.”
“The results of the practical exam last time.
Do you know that there are strange rumors going around about that?
Teacher Eom Jeong-hyeon looked to the side and frowned.
Inhye asked again.
“You know, right?”
---p.138
Yeonsu said with a long sigh.
“Let’s do well.”
Daeho also said.
“I hope it goes well!”

Publisher's Review
“I’m just a cello.
“I don’t need a reason.”
Suspicions, rumors, secrets, and lies that rock the eighteen-year-old cellist.
Seo In-hye, the main character of 'Bridge', endured pain unknown to others until she entered the preview.
I practiced so hard, away from my family and friends, under harsh lessons, and under stress to the point of stomach cramps.
After all that effort, I was able to advance to the preparatory school, but now that I'm here, I'm not sure if I have enough talent and if it's right to keep going like this.
I practice every day to get stronger and keep playing the instrument, and I'm always called a "practitioner." But I have many friends who are more talented, and the enormous cost of a cello is a burden.
Despite my humble family background, my parents always encourage me, saying they will be happy to support me, but I don't know if I am a good enough musician to be willing to take on the effort and expense.
In the midst of her turmoil, Inhye is deeply heartbroken when her grandmother, who had been her support, suddenly passes away.
To make matters worse, Mr. Eom, who had a bad relationship with the students in middle school, appears as a member of the practical exam committee, and after the questionable practical exam ends, rumors of exam rigging quickly spread throughout the school.
As the hidden secrets surrounding Teacher Eom are revealed one by one, cracks begin to appear in Inhye's frozen daily life...
“It’s bent because I had to hold it.”
The true and strong voice of our youth literature, told by author Moon Kyung-min
A story about a dream that can't be stopped
As we live, we all face moments when the most unbelievable thing in the world becomes ourselves.
Moments when the encouragement to run towards one's dreams hits the limits of one's talent, and the hard work one has put in faces the wall of reality.
"Bridge" is a story about that moment every teenager faces as they pursue their dreams.
“Should I continue playing the cello?
“Do I really like the cello?” (from the text)
Even if you spend days doubting and resenting yourself, and feeling frustrated at the small challenges of life, there is no one who can give you the answers on your behalf.
In the midst of confusion and sadness, what choice and decision will Inhye make?
A 'bridge' is a small piece of wood that connects the strings to the body of a cello.
When you draw a string with a bow, the bridge firmly supports the four strings and transmits the vibration of the strings to the body.
Like a bridge that bends and holds on, can Inhye bear the weight of her dreams?
"Bridge," which focuses on the dreams and passions of children who have experienced the pure joy that art brings, as well as the frustration and sadness that come with them, resonates deeply not only with young people who dream of becoming artists, but also with all young people who bear the weight of their own chosen dreams.
Rekindle hope where your heart has sunk
Dare to speak of dedication in a world that ridicules passion?
Moon Kyung-min, a bestselling author of youth literature and winner of the Honbul Literary Award, Munhakdongne Youth Literature Award, Kwon Jeong-saeng Literary Award, and Bang Jeong-hwan Literary Award for his profound works, has perfectly captured both the fun of reading and the emotions felt after reading in "Bridge."
While captivating readers with its outstanding narrative prowess, it never misses a moment of its message of solidarity and hospitality that soothes the sorrows of the world.
“I wanted to write a story about overcoming sadness.
“I wanted to write a story about people who loved things that were invisible.” _ From the author’s words
The rift caused by secrets and lies ultimately leads to a touching recovery and emotion.
In this work, the author confronts sadness and pain head-on and dares to speak of devotion in a world that mocks passion.
The author's voice, which soothes and heals broken hearts, is a gentle message of faith and encouragement to today's youth, who, even if they have momentarily faltered, will soon rise again and discover the best for themselves.
If we can call youth literature the very act of "growth" that leads to the discovery of a better life, it would be thanks to author Moon Kyung-min.
