born in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Yi-Yong-nyeo\"

\u00a9 Tsukasa Yajima <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yi Yongnyeo was born in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province in Central Korea in 1926.  Her family was poor and from the age of seven she lived as a servant in a stranger\u2019s home.  At fifteen years of age, she was deceived by the proprietress of a drinking house where she worked, and she was taken, by way of Taiwan and Singapore, to Burma, where she was a sexual slave for three years.  Upon returning to Korea she lived in strangers\u2019 homes, day-by-day constantly struggling for survival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, after living in the House of Sharing for a while she built a small house in the neighborhood where she lives alone.  A self-styled master farmer, she grows an abundance of various vegetables in her fist-sized home garden, and she heads up a large family of rapidly reproducing rabbits and dogs.  When she is in the mood for cards or gossip she comes up to the House of Sharing, loosens up with her favorite soju (Korean vodka) or makkeolli (rice beer), and opens up extended commentaries and complaints on life\u2026and she might start singing, letting her emotional temperament carry her away in a medley like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
