눈 속의 사람

Years ago, the narrator and Yeojin recorded the memories of Choi Gil-nam for an oral-history book commissioned by a publisher. As a scout in the Korean War he joined American troops in killing North Korean soldiers, and he has lived ever since with the shame of having killed to stay alive. When he dies, the two travel together to his funeral, and the story asks what it means to bear witness to another person's life.
