from Slow Night Ancient Tales · host Kyle Kichul Yun
🌙 Slow Night, Ancient TalesTonight, drift off with "17 Won and 50 Jeon," a 1923 short story by Korean writer Na Do-hyang, told as a series of letters to a beloved teacher. A struggling young painter receives his monthly pay — barely enough to matter — and must decide what to do with it, as his wife waits at home and a grieving woman waits at her door. A quiet, aching story about small kindness in hard times. Let go of today's noise, and let this gentle voice carry you toward sleep.---📖 [Story details]* Title: 17 Won and 50 Jeon (A Young Painter's Single Tear)* Author: Na Do-hyang (published 1923, Gaebyeok magazine)* This work is in the public domain, as its copyright term has expired.
