Into the book
After being kicked out of the training camp, he was admitted to a public hospital with the help of his friends.
It was a hospital with almost no medical expenses.
But the saying that poor people are the saddest when they go to hospitals or prisons was not just a passing rumor.
One morning, it was doctors' rounds time.
The doctor in charge showed up with several interns, looked through my medical records, and gave his opinion.
I fell asleep for a moment and woke up to the sound of the doctors talking.
The doctor in charge said.
'This medicine is not suitable for this patient.
(Saying the medicine name in English) Please take this medicine.'

'Hey, there's blood coming out of your eyes.'
'No way.
There is nothing wrong with your eyes.'
'No, I'm bleeding.
Look in the mirror.'
I looked into the mirror at the bathroom entrance and saw that there was indeed red liquid in my eyes.
A dark red liquid was soaked through the handkerchief.
It was tears of blood.
This was the first time I had actually seen blood and tears, which I had thought existed only as a literary device.

There is no life more miserable than one that resents poverty.
I never blamed my parents, nor have I ever blamed this poor country.
I thought to myself, I was born on this earth to work hard.
We cannot keep up with those who went before us if we sleep and work the same way.
You have to do more than them to achieve the same quality of life as them.
