wang di's name means to hope for a brother. and i have to admit that i took this, it is very closely tied in with my mother's name. he brother. so it is unfortunate that her very birth was seen to only conjure up this hope for a boy child. and thankfully, the next child was a boy. is there something about an island nation that wants to keep its story in, and is that part of the reason why comfort women are just not so openly discussed?” reason why comfort women are just not so openly discussed? i think the case for, the case of singapore is, it is not just case for, the case of singapore is, it is notjust that it is an island, it is notjust that it is an island, it is notjust that it is an island, it is the fact that there is a government prescribed story and we should stick to that story. we can talk about all the other things that happened, it's all right. i wrote a book that is based on the stories of korean women. it is a work of fiction stop i think it is all right. but if you were to, let's say, round—up people and campaign for women's rights in front of the japanese embassy, that would not go down very well.
