Description
Book Introduction
Perhaps the reason my heart lingers on green is because of the yearning for new beginnings and the change of seasons.
A light that purifies the heart without knowing what it is.
The moment before it turns green, the light full of vitality is mysterious.
The delicate light of a single blade of grass gradually spreads into the strong light of life, and the season of light green that we welcome in this way approaches as a time of quiet but deep maturation.

"Waiting for the Green Tea Leaves" is an essay collection that rereads life by discovering the small moments of everyday life, from the calm breeze of autumn to the hot sunshine of summer, and connecting them with the messages in the film.

Chapters 1 and 4 capture the sensations and emotions conveyed by the seasons, while Chapters 2 and 5 record comfort and reflection in the small details of everyday life, such as a cup of coffee, a flower, and one's own tastes.
Chapters 3 and 6 unfold a journey of finding questions and answers that we had not realized before in familiar scenes through dialogue with the film.

“Will I forget you when the flowers fall?”
“A flower-like sky seen from inside a hollow tree stump.”
“Sweet Response”
“Why didn’t I know that back then?”

The conclusion of this book, which can be felt just from the title, will provide readers with reflection, comfort, and a small resonance.
Sometimes you don't have to travel far to experience the world, and a drink can make you realize how easy the world can be.
Beauty is hidden even in ordinary moments, like looking up at the sky from a hollow tree stump.

Like a single sentence, a single photo, and a single flower, this book allows readers to experience the four seasons.
"Waiting for the Green Tea" is a warm invitation to those who love the moments when their hearts suddenly linger in the cracks of everyday life.

Publisher's Review
Park Hyun-myeong's "Waiting for the Green Tea Leaves" is a collection of emotional essays that delicately weaves together the four seasons, everyday moments, and scenes from movies.
This book goes beyond the simple experience of reading a text; it allows readers to step into the author's eyes and experience life, seasons, and emotions together.

The autumn and winter chapters contain the emotions and warmth encountered in the changes of nature and life.
The flower-like sky seen from inside a hollow tree stump, the snowy landscape, and the moments of travel experienced without leaving convey a calm resonance.
The author often captures a special sense that captures the heart in scenes that pass by.

In everyday life, small moments like a cup of coffee, freedom alone, and a sweet response come as comforts to life.
The author gleans meaning from small observations, allowing the reader to savor the space at their own pace.

The film essay section shows the point where reality and imagination intersect through the characters and stories on screen.
A sentence like “I decide who I am” goes beyond a simple line and becomes a message that makes us reflect on life.
At the intersection of film and writing, readers are able to look into their inner selves and the world.

The spring and summer chapters unfold moments of vitality, excitement, desire, and curiosity.
In the seasonal colors of yellow, lime, and green, we look into our inner selves and realize anew how precious the ordinary everyday life is.
The author delicately connects the rhythm of the seasons with the flow of emotions, conveying a warm sense of leisure to the reader.

"Waiting for the Green Tea Leaves" is more than just a collection of essays; it is a map of the heart and a guide to emotions.
The scenery of the four seasons, everyday moments, and the narrative in the film intertwine to make you fully experience life.
As I read, my heart gently resonates, and in the small moments, it presents the meaning and beauty of life, and the time to stop and reflect.
