Life
Gong Sun -Ok had her literary debut in 1991 with the story fireseeds ( 씨앗 불 ). Unlike most writers who entered the literary parquet in the nineties and reported on their experiences as students at the university, Gong had to stop her studies due to family problems. Already Gong 's childhood was marked by problems. Her mother suffered from health problems and her father, who had left the family early on, led a vagabond life to his creditors to escape. Although Gong passed the entrance examination for the university, she had to stop again because of their financial situation the study. She worked as an employee in a factory and as a bus attendant for long distance express buses. This may also be the reason that the women in stories rather gongs at the lower end of the socio- economic ladder stand, such as the protagonist in Clear through the night ( 명랑한 밤길 ) that the man she loves, can be nothing more than the vegetables from her garden or the girl in this is the life ( 그것은 인생 ), which in the life of a Mietnomade a dilapidated building with no heating and power leads and ultimately loses her life in a butane gas explosion.
Another repeatedly auftauschendes motif in gongs stories is the Gwangju. Her husband is one of the survivors of the bloody Gwangju uprising in 1980, a pro-democracy movement that was brutally suppressed by the Korean government. Gong also lived not far from the scene of the uprising and the University, which she attended for a short time, also was in Gwangju. Her debut work fireseeds depicts the harrowing experience and the resulting trauma of people who were actively involved in the uprising. Your deputy short stories thirsty season ( 목 마른 계절 ) alibi for my life ( 내 생 의 알리바이 ), and the novel The period in which I was ( 내가 가장 예뻤 을 때 ) prettiest also play all in Gwangju. Through their works Gong portrays the suffering and the loss of the inhabitants Gwangju who have witnessed this cruelty itself.
In short, Gong is a writer who has been dedicated to telling stories about the poor and oppressed. Her works are very different from those of other writers, who tend to write about the intellectuals and elite layer. Nevertheless, one finds in gongs works quite well hope - not the kind of hope that is only vaguely optimistic, but the kind of hope that can be found in the fighting will of people trying to live their lives happily in spite of great pain. With infinite warmth and compassion Gong gives these people a strong and unique voice.
