Han Kang's Novel "White" - The Heartbreaking Phrase "Don't Die", Modern Literature's Moving Words, and the Meaning of Life

A poignant passage from Han Kang's novel "White," touching on modern literature's moving quotes and the meaning of life

I'd like to share with you a shining passage from Han Kang's novel, "White".

"Don't die. Please don't die."

This simple yet powerful sentence, which begins the passage, has the power to move our hearts.

Author Han Kang has poured the preciousness of life and tender feelings for a loved one into this short passage.

For someone who couldn't speak, hearing these words with their dark eyes open, perhaps these are the words we all long to hear in the darkness of life.

The author murmurs these words and presses them forcefully onto the blank page. We can feel how desperate the heart is in that very act.

"I believe that's the best farewell."

This passage is paradoxical. Saying goodbye, yet wishing for the other person to live on, to not die. This contradictory emotion creates the beauty of this writing.

The final sentence, "Don't die. Live on." This simple yet powerful message seems to resonate with us all. When we are tired and worn out, don't we all wish someone would say this to us?

May you all carry this message in your hearts today and live strongly. Don't forget that your very existence is of great significance to someone.

Han Kang, "White" novel, Farewell

"Don't die. Please don't die."

The words you heard when you opened your dark eyes, unable to speak

I part my lips and murmur.

I press it hard onto the blank page.

I believe that's the best farewell.

Don't die. Live on.
