Training School - Woongjin Pureun Classroom 10

Description

It vividly depicts the friendship between Himchan, who suffers from atopic dermatitis and is teased for being 'chicken-fleshed', and Myeong-ok, the daughter of Piyang Cold Noodles, who escaped from North Korea and began attending elementary school in South Korea. It warmly unfolds how we should accept others who are different from ourselves and live in a different position.

Himchan is ostracized by his classmates because of his atopic dermatitis, and Myeongok still feels the pain of losing his younger brother Myeongsu during the defection from North Korea. These two children become partners, but like a dog and a cat, they do not get along easily. Conflicts deepen as you continue to misunderstand the other person's intentions.

Prejudice is not limited to the adult world. Even in children's society, prejudice and discrimination against people inferior to themselves exist. And children do not hide their feelings. The fact that Myeong-ok understands and cares for Himchan, who cannot eat animal foods due to atopic dermatitis, and receives special treatment in a 'bad sense' because he is from North Korea, has significant implications for readers.
