Features: Once you touch "Little Stories," the emotions and feelings once held within everyone's hearts will gently flow out. The emotionally rich characters and untainted life stories in this work are truly a poem. —Poet Li Zhenghe In the ambiguous space, it is a great joy to encounter such a rare and fragrant work. It makes one feel the beautiful colors and emotional depth, reflecting the author's journey. On any given day, encountering this small book brings an instant sense of happiness. I really wish to share this joy with others. —Artist Cui Zhongxi This work is like a guiding lighthouse for the drifting comic world in the dark night. Here, there are no constraints of the old comic frames. The author explores his unique colors, which is a necessary path for Korean cartoonists who must move beyond the greenhouse of rental stores and carve out their own lives in bookstores—a very certain future. —Comic Critic Park Inheo "Little Stories" is indeed small stories. In little weight, it contains only what it should. Within the small, there lies great emotion; in the brief, there lingers a long echo. This is the reason why it warms the heart. The reborn comics become art, and the warm embrace turns into color. Jiang Chengnan feels it in his heart. —Poet Wu Yinghai In the contemporary era, it rapidly rises, touching and moving accounts of love and emotional experiences in short essays. Once serialized online, it gained fervent from the net generation, a touching work that rivals "Reminiscence of Two People" in perfect harmony!!! We live, yet often forget what is most important—fame, wealth, power, and so on. But what is most important in life? What is the reason for living? Is it the space where we came from and where we must return? Is that our destination? From the world, from values, individuals lose themselves one by one in modern society, tossed into the tiny ripples. These are not extraordinary stories; these small stories are very small—the beginning of little stories. This book is the winner of the 2003 annual "Today Our Comics" award from the Ministry of Culture of Korea. The entire book consists of multiple short stories. Through reflections on past life, the author reflects on the modern pursuit of fame, wealth, and power, where people have forgotten the most important things—the warmth of home and the essence of family.
