Intro
The sarangchae (guest house) of Lee Hoe-young's home in Jeo-dong, Seoul.
A brutal winter wind blows outside,
and in the yard, small bundles of essential belongings packed in haste are piled up.
The furniture in the house has already been sold for a pittance, leaving the rooms empty,
and inside a vacant room, a single candle illuminates the six brothers.
By dawn tomorrow, they must embark on a journey of exile across the Yalu River.
Their voices are low to avoid the eyes of Japanese spies, but
their resolve is more fervent than ever.
Wrapping the ancestral tablets in a bundle.
Continuing this family's lineage cannot simply mean guarding the corners of this house.
What meaning is there in being the head of the clan when the nation itself is gone?
Handing a massive stack of bills from the sale of all his assets to Lee Hoe-young.
All the land and houses I gathered in my lifetime have turned into these few sheets of paper.
But I have no regrets. Not if this becomes the rifles and the rations for the independence army in the lands of Manchuria.
Patting the shoulders of his younger brothers as they pack.
The road will be harsh and cold.
However, because we six brothers
are going together, my steps do not feel heavy.
Pointing to the Manchurian territory on the map.
Where we are headed is not a life of comfort.
It is a path we take prepared to starve and freeze to death in the cold winds of the Manchurian plains.
Will you still go?
