Born into peasants' family in the dark period of the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule, she was subjected to all sorts of maltreatment and humiliation. It was not until after the liberation of the country that she could enjoy a worthwhile life.

She fulfilled her duty as an agricultural worker for decades.

She has kept herself busy even after becoming a pensioner.

She enjoys regular medical service under the socialist healthcare system and enjoys her later life having a balanced diet. Her most favorite food is noodles made of elm bark powder, a local specialty.
