The Grateful Crane Wife
Aug 10, 2025
Deep in the mountains of ancient Korea, where ancient pine forests stretched endlessly toward snow-capped peaks, there lived a humble woodcutter named Hyunwoo. He was a gentle man who lived alone in a small cabin beside a crystal-clear mountain stream, earning his modest living by cutting firewood and selling it in the nearby village.
Hyunwoo had always lived a solitary life, not because he was unfriendly or antisocial, but because his kind and sensitive nature made him more comfortable in the peaceful company of trees and wildlife than in the bustling world of human society. He found deep satisfaction in his simple work and took great pleasure in observing the natural beauty that surrounded his mountain home.
