얼굴도 모른채 '최씨'라는 것만 알고 어머니를 찾은 41년. 드디어 찾은 어머니는 한없이 작아져 있었다.. [이것이인생이다] | KBS 2001.10.02

His father, who was indifferent to the family, rarely came home. Unable to bear it any longer, his mother left him and remarried, taking only his younger sister Jeom-sun with her; this marked the beginning of a long separation between Jeong-gi and his father. At that time, he was seven years old, just a small child for whom his mother's embrace was his whole world. He lived briefly with his father, who ran a rice shop, and his stepmother, but after his stepmother ran away with the money, a fire broke out in the house, leaving his father with severe burns to his lower body. While his father went down to the countryside for recuperation, he had to support the family by working away from home. Just as he was bearing the loneliness of longing for his mother, which crept into the gaps of his busy daily life, his father passed away, leaving behind the words that his mother's surname was 'Choi'. He immediately searched everywhere, but there was no trace of his mother anywhere, as she had never even registered her marriage. Yet, he could not give up. He blindly made flyers searching for his mother and went around putting them up. No one understood that reckless passion as much as his current wife. In 2001, after seeing her husband tear up while watching a segment on the TV show 'Morning Yard' that helps people find their families, his wife finally decided to apply to appear on the show. Was she truly at ease as a mother who had remarried after leaving her son behind? She merely tried to soothe her longing and guilt by calling her second son, born from her second marriage, "Jeong-gi." Even when she heard from Jeom-sun that "Brother Jeong-gi is on the show looking for his mother and younger sister," she found it difficult to step forward. She was filled with regret, wondering how a mother who had done nothing for her could possibly face her own child... Yet, her heart was already racing toward her son. Having reunited with their long-lost relatives after 41 years, the mother and son are eagerly awaiting a long-awaited, warm Chuseok holiday. Yang Jeong-gi (47), a taxi driver, found his mother (Choi Geum-rye, 75) and younger sister (Lee Jeom-sun, 44), from whom he was separated in childhood, through the broadcast. Forty-one years ago, when his mother remarried with Jeom-sun, he was separated from her as she was entrusted to his father. While wandering away from home to make a living, his father, who had remained silent about his mother, passed away. He searched for her with only the clue that she was "Mrs. Choi," but it was all in vain... A dreamlike reunion with his mother finally came to pass after a long time! His mother told him that she had lived calling her second son, born from her remarriage, "Jeong-gi." Faced with such a mother, the son could not say a word... He could only let his resentment, weary from longing, flow away through tears... 41 years of searching for his mother, knowing only that she was "Mrs. Choi" without ever seeing her face. Finally found, his mother and younger sister...
