Description
Book Introduction
“Is it just a story about adults or other people that has nothing to do with me?”
Yerim, a third-year middle school student who lived without worries or complaints,
Be brave for your friends, for Soyeo-dong, for what's right!
Yerim, a third-year middle school student living in Soyeo-dong, a small town on the outskirts of the city.
He is an ordinary middle school student with no particular worries or complaints.
One day, many noisy things happen around Yerim.
The grandmother who works in the elementary school cafeteria participates in a strike to improve the treatment of cafeteria cooks, and the mother, upon hearing that a special school is being built on the site of the closed Soyeo Elementary School, protests against it, fearing that it will lower the price of the house.
Eunchae, her best friend, starts a signature campaign and a one-person protest to correct the problems that occurred during the midterm exam.
Yerim is confused in the middle of it all.
As I experience things up close that I normally thought had nothing to do with me, I find myself thinking a lot.
It makes you think a little about what is right and wrong, and what a better world would be.
And when he learns the secret of his favorite musician, Cactus Flower, he decides to take small actions for Cactus Flower, for Soyeo-dong, and for a better cause.

Into the book
'The place where the wind stays and scatters.
A ray of light falls on the empty space where warmth has disappeared.
The sound of children's footsteps and people's laughter were swallowed up by the low hills of Soyeo-dong. Clouds fell like cotton candy along the pure white light, and the wind that made us dance with the sound of footsteps and laughter came and stayed.
A warm light falls right where warmth is to be filled.'
The cactus flower's delicate voice spread powerfully along with the melody of the guitar.
It felt similar to the previous song, but also different.
Yerim closed her eyes and played 'The Light of Soyeo-dong' again.
Soyeo Elementary School was drawn in Yerim's mind.
A tightly locked iron gate and an empty playground filled with dust.
'The Light of Soyeo-dong' depicts Soyeo Elementary School exactly.
--- p.30
“I have to work for hours in a place with no ventilation, so I tend to get sick, so…….”
“That’s why I’m telling you not to do it!”
Mom cut off the Masan woman and spoke to Grandma with an angry face.
“Have you ever seen anything solved by a few people stepping up and fighting? Right now, there’s chaos at Yerim’s dad’s company because they’re on strike, but they’re still at the same level there.
“It’s only the mother who gets in trouble for fighting for no reason.”
“I’m not fighting alone.”
The grandmother spoke heavily and looked blankly at the Masan woman.
--- p.43
“What you all know is roughly correct.
Fairness means that everyone has equal opportunities without bias.”
Eunchae asked each question carefully.
“So, if you take a test with the same questions, and the teacher tells you in advance what will be on the questions so you can prepare for the test, but the teacher doesn’t even mention it to you, is that fair or unfair?”
A commotion similar to boos spread throughout the class.
The case Eunchae presented was unfair to anyone who heard it.
“Did something happen at our school?”
Jiwoo looked at Eunchae with sparkling eyes.
Eunchae immediately brought up the topic of Korean language.
--- p.65
“Most people know it’s wrong, but they don’t resist, so wrong things keep happening one after another.
“Is this the world that our pretty Yerim will live in?”
Grandma looked at Yerim and smiled brightly.
Yerim also smiled along with her grandmother.
Grandma's words were warm.
All the way home, Yerim mulled over her grandmother's words.
'My grandmother is holding a microphone and raising her voice in front of people, so it's for the world I will live in.'
--- p.81
"Shouldn't everyone have the right to study equally? Do you really have to beg like that to get it?"
Eunchae shed tears.
Yerim felt frustrated.
It felt like my head was all jumbled up.
More than anything, the face of her mother, who was fiercely rushing towards the woman who was kneeling and shedding tears, was shocking to Ye-rim.
My mother, who had been pulling the women away so stubbornly, seemed like a stranger living in a strange city.
Yerim didn't seem like her mother at all.
--- p.152
“Let’s do whatever we can with that!”
Yerim's mind was busy.
A spark was needed to light a fire in Soyeo-dong.
This time, Yerim herself wanted to be the spark that started the big fire.
Eunchae answered lightly.
“Okay! Let’s do it together!”
Yerim smiled brightly.
Now I had to contact my grandmother too.
To fight against Mom, Dad, and even the residents of the Residents' Committee Against the Establishment of Special Schools, I needed the help of my grandmother and the Masan woman.

Publisher's Review
What is happening in the neighborhood and society we live in now
It's not someone else's story, it's our story!
“Our thoughts and actions determine the direction of society.”
Some teenagers feel that the stories in the social or political sections of the news and newspapers are stories about adults or are not related to them.
Because it is difficult and complicated to understand, and I don't think there is much that young people can do about it.
Unfortunately, such thinking often leads to an indifferent and passive attitude toward politics and social issues even as adults.
Social participation experiences are very important during adolescence.
By taking an interest in the political and social issues around us, thinking about them, and considering what we can do to create a better society, we can cultivate civic awareness and develop sound values.
Social engagement isn't about something grand. It encompasses everything from small actions we can take to help our neighborhoods and neighbors to discussing and voicing opinions on youth-related policies.
The small accomplishments and satisfaction gained from engaging in related activities can boost your confidence and self-efficacy, help you plan your dreams and career path, and help you grow into a responsible member of society.
"The Light of Soyeo-dong" is the story of Ye-rim, a third-year middle school student, who experiences various events around her and comes to realize that small acts of courage and action can create change and change the world for the better little by little.
Yerim, who lives in a small town on the outskirts of the city called 'Soyeo-dong', does not like to stand out and is uncomfortable with noisy and conflict-ridden atmospheres, so she wants to avoid them.
But I am confused because of the unexpected things that keep happening around me.
A grandmother who works in an elementary school cafeteria participates in a strike to improve the treatment of cafeteria cooks.
Despite her mother's dissuasion, the grandmother does not bend.
Ye-rim couldn't understand why her grandmother, who didn't need to work so hard, would go on strike and fight, but when she told her that the world Ye-rim lived in would become a better place if she brought the wrongdoings to light and corrected them, she finally understood her grandmother's feelings.
Eunchae, her best friend, informs the children about the problem that occurred during the midterm exam and holds a one-person protest to correct it.
When the mother hears that a special school is going to be built on the site of the closed Soyeo Elementary School, she actively participates in protests against it, fearing that the price of the house will fall.
In the meantime, Yerim begins to think about what is right and wrong, what a good world is, and what she can do to make the world a better place.
Ye-rim is genuinely happy to see Eunchae finally correct the school's mistakes, and realizes that small acts of courage and action can bring about change.
And when he learns the secret of his favorite musician, Cactus Flower, he decides to take small actions for Cactus Flower, for Soyeo-dong, and for a better cause.
Our thoughts and actions determine the direction of society.
Looking around, taking an interest, and thinking about a better direction is a responsibility and right that we all must bear as members of society.
"The Light of Soyeo-dong" tells us that we must all think, communicate, and act together to create a better world.
Small steps to correct mistakes and resolve inconveniences can be the beginning of change, making you, your family, your friends, your neighbors, and the world a little happier.
