CHONGSAN
WHERE
D.I. WAS BORN. D.I. and Jane visited Chongsan, where
D.I. was born and finished elementary school. It was a relatively large
farming town in southern Choongchong-bookdo with about 20,000 population
when D.I. lived there. It was a first visit since D.I. last visited there
more than 30 years ago and he had a hard time finding the way as it was
changed so much. The house shown in this picture is the old house where
D.I.'s uncle (our grandfather's eldest brother) lived, which was the largest
house in the town (but more than half of the house was gone). D.I.'s family
lived in very next house.
