We eventually came straight to the U.S. But when the recession hit, he considered accepting a computer programming job in Saudi Arabia. Ultimately, he declined that position because he didn't think that move would be best for us. My point being that many people move in search of work. And many parents (either alone or together) relocate to wherever they can in search of financial opportunities. Such is the case for In-gu, who once had a promising future as an athlete. After his father dies on the job (and I honestly don't remember if his mother died or abandoned the family — sorry!), the teenage boy has to care for his younger siblings. So he drops out of school and takes whatever job he can to put food on the table. When he marries, it's not for love, but to have someone who will take care of the h...
