Mr. Park Inho brought forward my sister's resume to a town office of Helog prefecture, where he was working, and a personal department officer said to him, You should not bring such a resume but one handwritten by herself.
As Mr. Park explained that it was a resume written by herself, the officer agreed to test it.
After the officer confirmed it was her genuine letter and was surprised by her good handwriting, he employed her on the very day.
When she was in the 5th grade in the Hido elementary school in Taegu, she exhibited her work as a representative of her school for all Japan student's calligraphy exhibition and won the bronze prize. She was so a talented woman.
Her award was reported on every newspaper in Seoul and Taegu. She seemed to have been very popular in her school.
After working at the village office of Helong for 4 months, she was picked up for the personal department of the prefecture office of Helong as a maiden excellent calligrapher. She could get not only salary raise but also special food tickets for Japanese, though at that time food ration was ranked in 4 grades, for Japanese, for Korean, for Manchurian and for Chinese. I have heard they gave special preference to her.
My sister wrote a letter to Taegu and explained her situation and asked to send clothes to her.
In Taegu all family members got set and sent 8 clothes, so her many clothes drew public attention and they said,What much dress she keeps!. She became an object of envy.
In May, 1944 she evacuated to Manchu, and in July 15, 1945 retuned to our home town Taegu.
In those days the trend of women volunteer corps changed, so we cabled her frequently about our mother's critical condition and as it influenced effectively she was able to return home.
One month later the War ended, so, if she could not come back at that time, she would have a terrible experience. Really she was a lucky person.
