# Remembering 'Remembering Memories' The

day approached even this spring, when the threat of corona and the heat of the general election were complicated. April 16. However, ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sewol ferry tragedy, some politicians spit out inferior stories, ruining monuments, and insulting victims, survivors and survivors. Although the media sometimes called it the 'end-of-the-road', the word 'end-of-the-day' was more or less a pure expression compared to their story.

It was thought that this behavior was more serious because it revealed the true feelings and unfamiliarity that had been hidden as politicians ahead of the election of the National Assembly to believe in him and to give authority to represent the people. It was a situation where the basics of a leader, such as respect for life and sense of responsibility, were absent. At the bottom of such ignorant behavior, the thought of 'stop crying a bit now, it's time to stop' might have been laid.

Around that time, I saw a documentary. Lee Seung-jun, director of the Sewol ferry tragedy, is a film called "A Memory of Absence," which is the first topic in Korea to be nominated for the Academy Awards documentary category, although it is relatively less illuminated because of the sweep of the Academy's four crowns. The work shows in a very chronological order the important situations and moments of suffering after the Sewol ferry tragedy without a dramatic composition or specific narration that traces the cause of the accident. It may be that I was able to meet more vivid emotions and thoughts by chatting.


On April 16, 2014, at 8:52 am, the radio begins by a radio communication with a young student asking for help in a hurry to rescue the 119 rescue team asking the location of the sinking ship. And on the day of the tragedy that the whole people watched on the news, the situation on the ship and the situation on the ship cross, reviving the day of pain and sighing.

When the children are in anxiety while listening to the on-board broadcast of "Stay still," the relaxed voices of government officials urging the video of the incident to report on the top line, rather than confirming the safety of the people outside the boat, are heard. When the captain escapes at 9:47 am, a mother makes the last call with her child.

"There was nobody there to protect us, not even one."

It was' the absence of the state ' that even those who managed to survive, and the divers who participated in the victims' rehabilitation, spoke in one voice . Every loss and sacrifice will have its own pain and story, but the Sewol tragedy should not be easily forgotten because it was a social disaster caused by the absence of a state and a sense of responsibility for life. The director says that as long as pain still exists, the film must be made because the story must continue unless the truth is revealed.

"Cry until the spring of tears dries. Don't stop in 20 minutes of tears that you have to cry for 30 minutes."

This is the word emphasized in <Lost Class> by world-renowned psychiatrist Elizabeth Quiblers, who has been around the dying and lost loved ones. She stresses that anger, sadness, and vainness are times of loss that an ordinary person can experience in a complex emotional state that cannot be imagined.


The party may be, of course, but the people around him are now ready, and that's why we shouldn't tell him to stop tears. Only you know if the spring of tears is dry. That is the basis for those who respect an individual's life and truly mourn for healing. At this time, the community should be a safe zone to endure and endure until all those who weep cry until they recover their daily lives. However, our society lacks even the least empathy, rather than the basics, and there are too many people who dig and tear through the spring of tears. Even if you hit the second truth.

I stopped trying to press the event button to attach a yellow ribbon to the SNS profile picture. I seemed to want to hide my memories of the Sewol issue, which was about to fade away, with the event for some reason. There is no business ahead of time, but

until the truth is revealed properly, until
the pain of those who are left is resolved, and until
the unhappiness of the victims is relieved, we
must hold on to this memory even with 'effort'.
