How is the Japanese occupation of Korea depicted or developed in the book? - why is this event (the occupation) significant?
Thank you

Thank you
The occupation by the Japanese is a life changer, as the Japanese focus on the eradication of the Korean culture. The occupation is important because it illustrates the inner strength of the Korean people, who refuse to accept that eradication and resist Japanese control over their lives.
