Some writers believe that the goal of human life can be found in history. Some writers believe that the meaning of life is in intense moments that leave life in chaos. However, Yoon Sung-hee looks at life from a different perspective. Yoon Sung-hee would say that the meaning of life is in the moments. In other words, the true important purpose of life is in the feeling of the present, and the diverse emotions from it such as pain, sympathy, pity, and beauty. One literary critic has stated the characteristic of Yoon Sung-hee’s fiction as following. “The reality depicted by Yoon Sung-hee in her stories draws readers in with its colorfulness of a sensual present.
