Features: This book is the author's intense reflection on the past, not primarily about the experiences, but about the feelings and state of that time. For years, I have wanted to write down the stories hidden in my heart. Although it's better to recall the stories by oneself, they are purely mine. But for some reason, it has been too difficult for me to keep these stories in my heart. Perhaps it's because I am getting older and older, increasingly alone, and old age has arrived unexpectedly, becoming the last gift of my life. It often makes me tearful with emotion. Looking back at the past, I can't help but feel a sense of astonishment at times—I have experienced so many and, as well as so many beautiful and moving things. What surprises me most is the speed of time—it seems like just a turn of the head, and fifty years have passed.
