Chapter 16: Yeouido

Halmoni gave me her voice in a single sheet of rice paper.

She wrote it herself, in brush, at her kitchen table, and pressed her red seal at the bottom.

I, widow of the founder, send my granddaughter by marriage, Jeon Yu-ri, to speak and vote the founder's fifth in my place.

"Your knees?" I had asked.

"My knees will be at home with the persimmons." She blew on the ink.

"If I go, the Chairman will talk to me. If you go, he must talk to you."

"He may not let me in."

"Then he will have to say so in front of the press." She folded the paper in three.

"Ahn Soo-ryeon loves a private cruelty. She has never learned to bear a public one."

On Tuesday morning the Yeouido hall was crowded and bright.

It was a long room of pale wood and tall windows, with a horseshoe table at the front and rows of chairs behind.

Reporters filled the back wall, with cameras on their shoulders.

Tae-seong drove me to the door and parked the gray van between two black sedans.
