A Girl from Busan By Okhui Lee AudioBook summary
A Girl from Busan is an epic generational tale of resilience, where unwavering faith and the unbreakable bond of a mother’s love transcend devastating personal trials in a foreign culture.
Amidst the tumult of the Korean War, young Okhui wandered the streets of Busan, seeking solace in the flickering shadows of the Munhwa theater. There, surrounded by the glamourous billboards of Hollywood cinema, she dreamt of gliding across the silver screen like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Holding these dreams close to her heart, she ventured to America as a young bride, bearing the burden of a child born out of wedlock and escaping the harsh scrutiny of a conservative Korean society. Despite these formidable challenges, she carved a path of resilience and grace, ultimately rising to prominence as a celebrated burlesque dancer in the vibrant heart of Hollywood.
Her journey continued with relentless resolve to the tropical shores of Hawaii, where she established a Korean hostess bar that swiftly rose to legendary status. This establishment became a magnetic hub for celebrities, political dignitaries, and even the enigmatic Hawaiian syndicate.
Her resilience profoundly impacted her eldest son, whose early successes significantly contributed to the emergence of the Korean Hallyu entertainment wave in the United States. He played a key role in producing one of the most successful Korean films ever made. However, his battle with addiction eventually overtook him, leading to homelessness on the streets of Los Angeles.
