About ‘The Story of Kimchi’
‘The
Story of Kimchi’ is a love story. In the story, you can see a mother’s love,
feel the power of community, brotherhood, the love between a man and a woman,
and the love and respect of one’s neighbors. It is hopeful that anyone who has
read the story will think of the true meaning of love whenever kimchi is eaten.
I am launching a campaign called “We are the Kimchi Family” to connect the
world to the orphans and disadvantaged children who face life’s many
challenges. (I also plan to visit them and share The Story of Kimchi and leave
them with some books.) Of course, the book will also include the recipe and
directions for making Kimchi. Kimchi will become the “wisdom food” that teaches
us how to truly love one another.

“When I first met Seung Ah, she had
recently arrived in Canada determined to learn English. She was very quickly
drawn to a community of storytellers and discovered that she loved to listen to
and to tell stories. Over the years, Seung Ah has grown into a woman who uses
her love of story to broaden and share her worldview. The story of Kimchi is
Seung Ah’s story, and she shares it with the generosity of someone who is
experiencing the joy of life.”
