Chapter 1

My name: Lee Jua

Age : 14

Blood Type : B

Birthday : 2002. 07. 11

Nationality : ...

โ€œNationality, nationality, nationalityโ€ I repeated this

word over and over again. What is my nationality? Where

am I from? The more I thought about this, the more severe

headache I had. Is there an answer? Which country do I

belong to? The place where I live or the one where I was

born? Then my momโ€™s word came to my mind. โ€œNorth Korea

Page 4: The ugly duckling with black feathers

and South Korea are the same country.โ€ So I wrote down

โ€˜Korea Peninsulaโ€™ in the application form. A teacher saw this

and laughed. He changed โ€˜Korea Peninsulaโ€™ to โ€˜South Korea.โ€™

Even he changed what I wrote without asking me, I did not

feel bad. And I walked to my classroom. I was thinking

about what to do, then I had already reached my classroom.

Suddenly the teacher said to me โ€œIntroduce yourself to your

new friends.โ€ I was quite embarrassed but I thought I had

to introduce myself. โ€œHello? Iโ€™m Lee Jua and Iโ€™m 14 years

old.โ€ Strangely, when I told about myself, there was a

momentary stir in the class.

Page 5: The ugly duckling with black feathers

One of the classmates asked me, โ€œWhere are you

from?โ€ Then, I noticed my intonation was quite different from

other classmates. I studied South Korean intonation very hard,

but I couldnโ€™t change it. My homeroom teacher said calmly to

the class, โ€œShe is from a rural area, so everything would be

strange to her. Please help her, everyone.โ€ But many

classmates knew that it was not true. I felt as if I were a

sinner. The teacher looked like he knows my mind, telling

me where my seat is. He added that the classmates are all

kind and nice. As I sat down, one of my classmates named

โ€˜Lee Hee Jungโ€™ came up to me. I was not sure but I felt

like there is a something in common between she and me.

While I was thinking this, she came to me and said,

โ€œHey, Because of you, our country is becoming restless. How

can we trust the people from your country?โ€ The other

friends all looked at me and agreed with her. I wanted to

say confidently that it was not what I did, but the

government did. Why should I be blamed? But l didn't have

enough confidence to say so.

It was time for Lunch. I wanted to eat lunch alone

but Lee Hee Jungโ€™s group did not leave me alone. When I

was sitting at the corner of the table and started to eat, five

of them were coming to me.

Page 6: The ugly duckling with black feathers

โ€œHey, Jua. Didnโ€™t you bring your lunch box?โ€

โ€œNo, no. Itโ€™s Gwakbab1). They call it Gwakbab.โ€

โ€œCan a North Korea girl eat this kind of good cuisine? Isnโ€™t

it too much for you?โ€

โ€œJua, who came from North Korea, became rich!โ€

โ€œYour people pick up and eat food on the ground. Ha Haโ€

Lee Hee Jung suddenly picked some food that somebody

had left on the cafeteria tile and threw it to me. โ€œThis is for

you.โ€

I dropped my spoon and wept. โ€˜Is this place worth to

leave the country where my father and younger brother live?โ€™

I must have stayed in North Korea if I had known that I

would be bullied here. It would be better if the cafeteria

door was locked. I wished no one cared about me. I noticed

I was nothing but ugly duckling in this country.

Chapter 2

Today will be the day when my daughter Jua went to

school for the first time. I hoped the students were going to

be nice to her well. I was also worried if she failed to

adjust in the new environment.

Jua knocked the door making a strong thump sound. I

felt anxious because I was not sure whether she looks glad

or sad.

โ€œOkay, I am on my way!โ€ My daughter had a such

social personality that she would mingle with other friends. I

opened the door with some positive expectations. โ€œIโ€™m

homeโ€ I noticed something bad happened to her. She looked

gloomy and depressed.

Before telling her that I was worried about her, I

found out that she dragged her shoes on the floor again. I

had no choice but to scold her for it. I could not afford to

buy new shoes everytime she broke an old one. โ€œI told you

not to drag your shoes on the floor. You should spare your

things. There is no difference between the living in the

South Korea and in the North Korea.โ€

Page 9: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 7 -

Jua reacted to my statement angrily. โ€œMom. Please!!

We are not living in the North anymore. We should live up

to the standard of the South Korea. It doesn't matter if I

drag my shoes and throw away things. We can just buy new

things at the store. You are always saying you need to save,

save, and save without buying me anything. Iโ€™m going

crazy.โ€ Today, she was much more sensitive. I felt bad

about my daughter who didnโ€™t understand my situation and

reacted more angrily. โ€œYou think you need to be careful in

choosing language before your mother.โ€ The conflict between

me and my daughter made me feel down and exhausted

more than ever. The harder the life in the South korea got,

the more vivid the memories I spent with my husband got.

Page 10: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 8 -

Actually, living here was much better than the

previous life in the North. The problem is that the life is

getting harder. At least, in North Korea, I didnโ€™t have any

problem with my daughter and I could stay with my

husband. I murmured faintly. โ€œStop thinking in a negative

way.โ€ I needed to find some ways to solve this problem

step by step.

Chapter 3

"Why did you make up so heavy? you will get 2

points off for make up"

Mr. Jung scolded me in front of the class. I was so

ashamed because I became an example of the punishment of

make up. I talked to her while staring at her. "What's the

matter, can't I do whatever I want on my face? whatever..."

Mr. Jung looked confused. I used to get trouble, but it

was not a big deal to me. Also, by showing others that I try

to defy to teacher, I thought others might be scared of me.

Page 12: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 10 -

During break time, I and my friends fixed our make

up at restroom to look more white. As I started to fix my

make up, Kim Gayoung told me with the door half open

"Lee Heejeong, teacher told me that you should come to

teacheโ€™s office. O Sumin, one of my friend, said while

curling her hair with a curling iron. "Oh my word, Are you

in trouble again?" Other friends joked around, but I knew

that it was such a serious problem.

"we will go with you, hey guys, pick up all our stuff

let's go down with her." Kim Gayoung was already in the

restroom and O Sumin, Han Nagyeong, and Lee Songeun

was picking up all our stuffs. However I was a little bit

shocked and worried about that if I got caught that I am a

bully. "Guys, wait a minute, I'll go alone." I stammered as I

was puzzled at that situation and I ran down real quick to

office. I felt other friends looked me like a weird person.

As I was just standing in front of the door of office,

teacher glanced at me and said "Are you here?, come in.

Oh, why are you so sweaty, sit here, give me a minute" She

went to the shelf brought a file to me.

I leafed through the file. "Hanging around Camp?" I

was just refused to go to the camp, as I thought teacher

think that I have no friend at all.

Page 13: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 11 -

"Mrs. Jung, I am not interested..."

"How's your mother, Is she doing good?, There is a camp

about hanging around with different people hold in the city

hall, I prefer you to join that camp and I hope you to work

harder during school day." She cared me a lot, but I felt

angry that she is just sympathizing me.

"Oh my.. wow" Somebody whispered at the back of

the office door. I sensed that something is going wrong so I

dashed out the office and ran toward to my classroom.

When I reached at classroom unlike normal day, I could

realize that my classroom is different from other time. My

classroom was very noisy and classmates was talking

something behind my back. As I walked into the classroom,

bunch of boys came to me and made fun of me such as

"Oh, here comes the gook." "hey, slit" and also girls laughed

at me. I was about to cry so I needed my friends to ask

what to do. At least they might be my side. But I once

again shocked that my best friends, Han Nagyeong, Kim

Gayoung and Lee Songeun were the main culprit whose

making fun of me.

Page 14: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 12 -

Next day, I came to school with no energy, not expect

anyone to greet with me. I didn't do make up either. My

face was much darker than others.

Page 15: The ugly duckling with black feathers

Chapter 4

Iโ€™ve never thought that Heejeong, who has bothered

me, is from a multicultral family. Suddenly I remembered

the time when I first met her. I felt a feeling of familiarity

with her. I didn't know why. But now I understand that's

because we are in the same situation. Then why has she

bothered me? At that moment, I heard screaming somewhere

near me, so I went there. I saw Heejeongโ€™s friends harass

Heejeong.

One of Heejeongโ€™s friends said "You are so funny.

You are also a member of muticultural family. But you

made fun of Jua because she is a member of a muticutural

family?" Heejeong said, "I am so sorry."

One of Heejeongโ€™s friend slapped Heejeong on the

cheek. Everybody looked at them. At that moment, I

screamed. "Stop! What's wrong with a member of

multicultural family and a North Korean defector. Why are

you discriminating against them? Why?"

In a minute, I regretted what I had said. They might

bother me again. But thanks God the bell rang. I was

worried about next break time. But thanks God again my

Page 16: The ugly duckling with black feathers

homeroom teacher called me to his office.

He said "Jua, It seems that you've had a really hard

time. Why don't you tell your friends the situations of North

Korea and your difficulties? Then they will understand you

better and you will have a better school life with them.

Would you please introduce North Korea to your friends?"

I don't want to. Why do I have to do that? Actually it was

better when I was in North Korea. Was it a good choice to

escape from North Korea? But anyway I can't go back to

North Korea. So I have to get over all the difficulties. I

decide to introduce North Korea to my classmates as my

teacher asked me to.

A few days later, finally the day I had to give a

presentation in front of my classmates came.

Page 17: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 15 -

Though I had prepared a lot, I was so nervous. I

wondered if this presentation would made them understand

me better? Anyway I stand in front of them.

"I am going to talk about North Korea which I come

from. Nowadays we think North Korea is bad because of

nuclear test, the possibility of provocation etc. But that is

not because ordinary people of North Korea are bad but

because a ruler, a dictator is bad. Most people of North

Korea are exploited and groaning under the oppression of

the dictator, Kim Jeongeun. If they are not obedient or lead

the life of religion or contact the culture of South Korea,

they should work at the offender institute all day long. If

they found anyone or any members of his family trial to

Page 18: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 16 -

escape from North Korea, the rest of the family execute

them who try to escape. To save us, my dad, my dad

stayed behind. The number of Kotjebi is increasing. Tens of

thousands of people about my age are starving to death.

Sadly speaking, we take their clothes because we don't have

anything to wear. Maybe my dad is looking for something in

the trash can for my younger brother who is sick. Please

just hate North Korea which made us live miserably not the

people in North Korea. We can't help it. People in North

Korea respect the people and culture of South Korea and

know that they are better than those of North Korea, though

the dictator of North Korea says that the people in South

Korea are poor and the culture of South Korea is not good.

So please respect the people and culture of North Korea. I

think we should respect each other.

After I evaded surveillance network, crossed mountains

and rivers, did a lot of things avoiding being seen by the

public officers of North Korea, finally I arrived here in

South Korea.

Yesterday I fought with my mom. She lived for more

than 40 years in North Korea. I just lived there for only

14 years and now I lived here in South Korea. We have

different values. I hated my mom because she didn't

Page 19: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- 17 -

understand me. I didn't want to tell her my situation that I

was isolated by other peers. But now I understand her. She

had lived in North Korea for a long time. So she didn't

understand the way of life in same way in South Korea. We

promised to try to understand each other.

As you know Heejeong and I are different from you

in many ways such as accents, customs, appearances etc.

However, I ask you to recognize differences between us and

try to understand each other better. Please treat the people

who are from North Korea or multicultural families like the

people around you in South Korea. It will take time but

let's do our best.โ€

At that moment I was so sad remembering the time I

had experienced. I said in my mind "It was so difficult for

me to come to South Korea after enduring all the hardship.

However, do I have to live like this here in South Korea?"

Thinking of my situation, I was so sad and I cried. I tried

to stop crying but I couldn't. I managed to finish the

presentation. When I finished the presentation, all the

students started to applaud against my expectations. I was

so surprised.

Page 20: The ugly duckling with black feathers

- Two days later-

After the presentation, my life was not the same as

before. Heejeong and her friends including Sumin, Nagyeong

and Gayoung who have harrassed me are all my close

friends.

โ€œHey Lee Heejeong, Lee Jua! Hurry up!!โ€

โ€œIf you don't, I leave earlier than youโ€

Accepting teacher Jung's suggestion, I gave a presentation.

As the result I could have good friends. I am so happy to

be a close friend with Heejeong. After going thorough one

of the difficult time of our school life, I and my friends

realized one important thing. That is all of us are Koreans

who love this country from the bottom of our heart.

Epilogue

Dear Dad Daddy! It's me. How are you? I am doing great here in South Korea. At first time I couldn't adjust myself, and had a hard time living here. But I am okay now. They had strong prejudice against people like me who are from North Korea or Multicutural families. When I open my mind and try to be frank with them, they understand me. Thanks to my honestness, I have good relations with all the people around me here in South Korea. Don't worry about me. Mom and I are really worried about you, dad. I miss you a lot. I hope you are doing well. I want to see you here in South Korea someday in the near future. I love you!
