In the fall, Mr. Park Sang-seol wanders through empty fields to meet a flock of geese that Tolstoy might have seen, which flew in from Russia. He left home 30 years ago and has been living alone. Not knowing where his wife and children live, he makes kimchi and shikhye and takes care of all his food, clothing, and shelter by himself. Even when he is in so much pain that he can't walk, he endures it alone without telling his family. For him, every moment is an experiment to see how far he can go. ▶ I abandoned myself in the mountains, and the mountains saved me. Living alone after fulfilling his duty to support his family was a life plan he had made since he was young. The trigger for putting that plan into action was a stroke he suffered 30 years ago. As an executive at a construction company who knew nothing but work, he came face to face with the threat of death. There was no treatment and the doctor said he would not live past a year. He did not want to be a burden to his family. Determined to die walking as a traveler rather than as a patient, he left home and wandered for two years without a destination. And by a miracle, he is still alive today. ▶ Life is a journey chasing dreams His weekend farm is located at an altitude of 600 meters at the foot of Mt. Odae in Gangwon-do. A vinyl greenhouse standing in the open field, he is the first generation of weekend farmers. 50 years ago, when he was living a fiercely competitive office job, he always dreamed of nature and created his weekend farm in search of a place to breathe. He wrote about his experiences in nature, and like-minded people came to him one by one and became his camp comrades. #Independence #Traveling in remote areas #Walking ✔KBS Documentary KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] ????Subscribe????Like➡️ / @kbsdocumentary ????Contact: [email protected] Copyright ⓒ KBS.
