for works such as “My Beautiful Garden” and “Snow,” has published her first essay in celebration of her 20th anniversary as a writer.\u003cbr\u003e The author says that the archetype of the good adults in his novels was 'grandmother'. \u003cbr\u003eThe book is full of stories about grandmothers' love that the author realized while raising children.\u003cbr\u003e The grandmother's wise parenting style, which filled the little souls of those who received it with quiet love that the recipients did not even know they had received, serves as a good guide for parents today who try to give too much to their children but end up failing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As a person, not a novelist, Sim Yun-kyung tells the story of her daily life with her unique wit and humor, telling it honestly and vividly.\u003cbr\u003e The story of a grandmother's love, rediscovered amidst the struggles of raising a child, the depression experienced in middle age, the crisis of being a novelist, and the stories of family and friends provide readers with an opportunity to become closer to the author.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, it awakens the image of our grandmother that remains in our hearts and teaches us how to love ourselves with the same heart as our grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eYou

room with a crackling CRT television, an apple, dim sunlight, and an old chamber pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From the author's note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My grandmother has always been like that, from the beginning of my memory until today. \u003cbr\u003eHe didn't put his face in front of my eyes or say anything loud.\u003cbr\u003e Invisible voices surrounded me, telling me that I was okay, that I was pretty, that I was okay again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Parallel Universe of Two Loves\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For me, peace was almost synonymous with quiet.\u003cbr\u003e If I were to describe that capsule, it would be a small room from my childhood, with a soybean-dam floorboards bathed in a faint sunlight, and where I could feel my grandmother's breath somewhere, even though I couldn't see her face.\u003cbr\u003e There is no human language there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Silent World\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most of the things my grandmother passed down to me were like this.\u003cbr\u003e It was so ordinary, so quiet, so small, that I hardly noticed its significant meaning.\u003cbr\u003e It was so abundant and common that it didn't even occur to me that there were things to be thankful for. \u003cbr\u003eBut it became the foundation of an important sense of stability within me, and I lived in it like green moss soaking up the moisture of the forest, learning important things without even realizing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"What a bonus, huh\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My grandmother, who was the most important foundation for my life, was the most easygoing person in the world.\u003cbr\u003e So, there is nothing wrong with the fact that Honey Bee takes me for granted.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, it may be something to be welcomed as a very good thing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Am I Easy?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My grandmother's indifferent response had the power to make even the biggest thing like a bolt from the blue into something small and bearable. After receiving that indifferent understanding from my grandmother, the rough waves in my heart calmed down and I was able to take a step toward peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Grateful Indifference\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSupport and encouragement are truly powerful when they are not visible.\u003cbr\u003e He may not even know it exists, but when he receives it, it becomes real oxygen, seeping into his lungs and giving strength to his muscles.\u003cbr\u003e As support and encouragement begin to be heard and seen, they gradually lose their positive power and become a burden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Two Faces of Expectation and Encouragement\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to give that kind of love to my daughter too.\u003cbr\u003e But as it turned out, that kind of love wasn't easy.\u003cbr\u003e It was a love that was infinitely ordinary and simple, but when I tried to keep it by my side, it was infinitely distant and difficult.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---From \"My Beautiful

years.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Novelist Sim Yun-kyung, who has received enthusiastic support and encouragement from readers for works such as “My Beautiful Garden” and “Snow,” has published an essay after 20 years of writing. \u003cbr\u003eThe author's first book, \"My Beautiful Garden,\" which won the Hankyoreh Literary Award in 2002, is still greatly loved by readers even though it has been 20 years since its publication.\u003cbr\u003e Fortunately, there is no mention of Dong-gu's grandmother or father in the author's first essay, \"My Beautiful Grandmother.\"\u003cbr\u003e In reality, the grandmother is someone who gave the author such great love that he wanted to emulate her until his death and wanted to gift it to his readers.\u003cbr\u003e In \"Seol-i,\" which mercilessly exposes the duplicity and hypocrisy of parents' love for their children in our time, the author constantly ponders what constitutes a good environment for a child to grow up in and the true meaning of love.\u003cbr\u003e In \"Love Runs,\" the main character Kim Hye-na and her family, who run wild, show the true face of adults who never become adults.\u003cbr\u003e Also, in 『Eternal Legacy』, the faith shown by Haedong's aunt and Jinhyeong's family was another axis that drove the work forward.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Shim Yun-kyung's style and subject matter are unpredictably new in each work she writes, but one of the themes that permeates her world has always been family and love.\u003cbr\u003e In “My Beautiful Grandmother,” the author looks back on his childhood with his grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e In that look back, there is the time of ups and downs of raising a child.\u003cbr\u003e While raising her children, the author studied and refined her role as a parent through numerous books and lectures, realizing that the love her grandmother gave her was more profound than the teachings of any parenting sage.\u003cbr\u003e And now, the great love left behind by the grandmother is transferred through the author's characteristically precise analysis and vivid restoration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGrandma's Five Words, Grandma's Legacy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author ambitiously embarked on the path of motherhood, giving her baby the cute nickname 'Honey', but the daily life of a clumsy new mother is a series of 'kicking the blanket'.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, it's a big laugh button for the readers.\u003cbr\u003e The 'Strong Legs Korea-Japan War' brought about by the Korean blood that seeks out smart children, the secret to parenting learned while playing with a puppy when exhausted from taking care of a difficult child, the image of a mother anxiously bringing her child home for fear of being late and her relaxed adolescent child, the scene where they bicker over the dishes and then calm it down with a pointless joke like \"Do I look like water?\" and then explode alone, are all exactly like us.\u003cbr\u003e As a caregiver who is heavily involved in the growth of young creatures, the author naturally thinks of her grandmother at every critical juncture she encounters. \u003cbr\u003eWhen I was losing patience with a child who was very shy and threw tantrums, I remembered my own unusual childhood and the tolerance of my grandmother who silently supported me.\u003cbr\u003e The image of my grandmother, who was my roommate and psychological safety net until I was twenty.\u003cbr\u003e In the author's memory, the grandmother exists as a 'silent person'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Eighty percent of what my grandmother said in her life could be summarized in just twelve words.\u003cbr\u003e 'Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.'\u003cbr\u003e In standard Korean, it would be 'Okay, no, okay, I don't know, what should I do?'\u003cbr\u003e (Page 101)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This plain, simple everyday language is filled with wisdom, depth, empathy, and understanding that we need to embrace right now.\u003cbr\u003e The author explains, with appropriate examples, the circumstances under which the grandmother said these words and why we need these words now. \u003cbr\u003eWhile raising her teenage child, Sim Yun-gyeong realized that excessive use of language can be toxic, and she tried to practice the five words of her grandmother, who was a minimalist in language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLet go of the illusion of best\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Children grow up in the gaps of their parents.”\u003cbr\u003e This is author Shim Yun-kyung's favorite educational maxim, and she proves it through her own experience.\u003cbr\u003e When I was a student preparing for college entrance exams, my mother threw away all the books I liked and filled me with workbooks, telling me to study. However, I discovered Park Kyung-ni's \"Land\" that had been left in a corner and read all 30 volumes of it. This experience became the decisive moment in my becoming a novelist.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to the education and love of her mother, who practiced the saying, “Flogging a running horse,” the author lived a life that everyone envied. However, one day in her forties, the author was overcome by the feeling that everything was falling apart, even in her stable life. \u003cbr\u003eIn their listlessness, they escape into mobile games and even end up suffering from dyslexia.\u003cbr\u003e The symptoms that Dong-gu experienced in the novel appeared in him.\u003cbr\u003e As a writer who always looks at her own situation through a third-party lens and analyzes her problems, Sim Yun-kyung objectively looks at her own wounds.\u003cbr\u003e And instead of blaming yourself, you focus on taking care of your cats and plants and doing things that make you smile.\u003cbr\u003e He completely understands the struggles of a child going through college entrance exams, as this period is exactly like adolescence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During my period of depression and dyslexia, my thoughts on 'doing my best and working hard' also changed.\u003cbr\u003e He has finally put aside the strict and demanding standards he used to apply, as he has personally experienced them. \u003cbr\u003e'What he can do now is the best he can do, and it is precious in itself', 'He is not laughing while playing a game on his phone because he is pathetic and thoughtless, but he is trying his best to love himself', 'He may miss out on important things in the meantime, but life is long and other opportunities will come'.\u003cbr\u003e The work born from this is 『Seol-i』.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHalf like a grandmother, Be the Grandma\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If my grandmother had seen this struggle of author Shim Yun-gyeong, she would have definitely said, “That’s a bummer.”\u003cbr\u003e The author realizes that the grandmother who comforted and encouraged him as a child, regardless of his achievements, no longer exists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was the day I realized the huge empty hole that Honey didn't have a grandmother to live with. \u003cbr\u003eChildren absolutely need someone who believes in them and values ​​them.\u003cbr\u003e In the past, such beings lived together, but now they do not live together.\u003cbr\u003e If there's something my daughter absolutely needs, I have to be that person.\u003cbr\u003e I'm Honey's mom, but I realized that I have to be half a grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e (Page 162)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even today, grandparents are infinitely affectionate towards their grandchildren, but they rarely live together in the same house.\u003cbr\u003e The author now strives to become a mother like her grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e And it tells the story of a daughter who, like her grandmother, knew other people's wounds but did not hurt them, but pretended not to know them, and showed indifferent understanding, and of good adults who helped her shake off her fears with easy comfort instead of excessive expectations and encouragement. \u003cbr\u003eIn her recommendation, author Yoon Go-eun states, \"Whenever I read Sim Yun-gyeong's novels, I wondered what kind of time the story that shook me had passed through, and I realized that at the center of it all was a grandmother.\"\u003cbr\u003e This lovely essay reminds us that the best way to love in an age without grandmothers is to give small peace without the recipient even realizing it, to comfort and console oneself daily, and to fill one's existence with a silent smile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So I laughed like a grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e I smiled, desperately hoping that I could smile like my grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e (Pages 208-209) \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
