when my father walked with me to the train station, I saw there were many seagulls flying over the Hai River. It reminded me that when I was in middle school, I sat by the Hai River with my classmate, drinking beer and watching seagulls during the lunch break. At the time, there were not as many seagulls in our city. So they were very new to us. We talked about what they were. Normally we call them seagulls, but it’s a river. She said, “then they should be rivergulls.” I was feeling nostalgic all of a sudden and didn’t want to say goodbye. When I was young, there was a very popular Korean drama called “autumn in my heart.” The protagonist said that if there was another life after this one, that she wanted to be a tree, then she would not be separated from anything around her. If a tree had feelings, it would not have been so lush and green.
