Political historical thriller: Mater 2-10

Hello lemon8ians 🍋!

How are you guys? Hope you all doing good so far 😚

I am a fan of this kind of book because I learned so many things in it. The way Mater 2-10 conveys its message regarding labour's right really captivating my thoughts. The author himself thought that labour's right are not included well in the literature hence he made one. Starting from Japanese colonization into Liberation era and jumping back to the present. A man named Yi Jino is an activist and so does his ancestors. Fighting for the rights of workers. I also learned how Japanese ruled during those bleak days. It's sickening to read but why should I read this kind of stressful book? History has always been my fav and I always curious with past events. Fyi, before Korea exists, they were oppressed and now Korea was built from blood, sweat and tears of Joseon people.

It's a dull, dry and rigid reading but there are still liking percentage exists in it. Other than that, quite surprising, female characters weren't written vividly on they being violated. In Yi Jino's family, female ancestors were given a gift where they can see dead people. Love that the gift they have was to help and support their family members. It is essential to highlight family love as a part of resistance struggle. Nothing beats family love and we shall go far.

Anyway I'm here indeed just want to share what I had read. It's pretty tough to digest is it? Sorry 🥹 I really love this kind of book. If only anyone ever brave to challenge themselves, I will be so proud of you 🫡

If you ever read any toughest book, do share with me how is it okay?
