What is a brief summary of Min?

Min is a potter. He works alone and often throws his pots many times before finding one that lives up to his expectations. Min also makes many replicas of his work in case one should have a flaw in the gaze after the firing in the kiln.

Min and his wife lost a child, and he is not thrilled to have Tree-ear working for him. He doesn't want to lose another child, and as a result, he is often hard and mean to Tree-ear. When Tree-ear asks to learn his trade, Min refuses on the grounds that Tree-ear is not his own son, something that causes Tree-ear a great deal of pain.
