Your name is Kim Shen-Suk, you are a great actress
of Korean cinema -and theater: you have played
Desdemona (and yet, says the author of Cérémonies
et coutumes religieuses des peuples idolatres,
where jealousy is concerned, (the Koreans) are
less obsessed than the Chinese.."). You have married
The To-miung and your baby is called The In tcho. Your
husband tells him the stories of Sim Chon, Chunhyang and
Heun Bo, and you sing him the song that begins with
Kwae-ji-na-ching-ching-nah-neu, or with Toraji, Toraji.
or the one whose refrain goes Nillivia, Nillivia, Nillivia -and
of course Arirang, the Korean lament of homesickness (the
Asian blues), which says poetically: "So many stars in the sky,
so many sighs in my bear.," and prosaically:" If you
leave me your feet will ache-less than a mile away."
