(English) I Will Remember
This is the third volume of ‘Jeong Yi Story’, written by Yoo Eun Sil. The writer is well known to be good at understanding children at the age of 7 or 8. Since Jeong Yi eats anything and grows up so well, she even has a weird resolution to pick at food and become a sensitive child. Her healthy mind and curiosity remain, but she is getting more into protecting herself who is different from others, rather than becoming like others. Therefore, when we meet Jeong Yi who continues to grow up while talking to her elder brother or happening to meet her first love on the way to school, we think that it is ok to be myself.
