Ok-Sun Lee says that she has “endless han.”1 She came back to Korea after spending 58 years in China. She was kidnapped to be a comfort woman, and after World War II was over, she was abandoned and stayed in China because she did not have the means to come back home. She could not have her own children, but she married a man who had a son from his previous marriage. She raised this son as her own. She never forgot about home, but going back to Korea was like an impossible dream, as she did not even know how to read and write. After her husband passed away, she decided to move to Korea to share her han-ful story.2
