Features: With the progress of society and the improvement of living standards, people's focus has shifted from economic issues to family issues. The Korean writer Jin Zhengxian has turned his attention to the roles in the family that are often misunderstood or neglected—the father. His novel "Dad" sparked a strong response in Korea after its publication, selling 2 million copies and breaking the record in Korean publishing history. The novel realistically reflects the current state of Korean families—lack of communication among family members; emotional detachment and indifference. Is today's Korea our tomorrow? This book reminds us to prepare for the future. How many people have forgotten the fragrance contained in the passionate title "Dad"? Have you ever seen the slightly shaky and bent figure of a father in a narrow alley, where only dim streetlights flicker and blur?
