▶ I hope my daughter doesn't look like me
Short and chubby limbs, a somewhat uncomfortable gait. Ha Seok-mi (39), who is 117cm tall, suffers from short stature.
She tried to adopt a child after marriage, but having her own child was also a big dream.
She thoroughly examined and prepared her body. She succeeded in getting pregnant with difficulty, and gave blood from her weak body
She didn't give up on one life. She desperately hoped that her child wouldn't have her disease.
Soon, her daughter, who was born healthy, was praised for being pretty wherever she went.
However, the child, who was diagnosed as normal, was clumsy at walking even long after her first birthday. In the end,
Her daughter Chan-mi (16) ended up looking just like her mother. She suffers from short stature with a height of 113cm.
The words of those around her that she irresponsibly gave birth to her daughter even though she had a disability were a great wound to Seok-mi.

“Chan-mi is also trying to act quickly like this, but she can't keep up.
When mothers of similar age to Chan-mi say that our child has grown 10cm this year,
Even though I say she's grown a lot, I feel really upset.”

▶ I don't resent my mom
From kindergarten, Chan-mi was curious about why she didn't grow taller. She grows day by day
Looking at her friends, she vaguely knew that she was different from others. The condition was worse than expected.
Chan-mi, who suffers from achondrogenesis, a rare disease in which joints do not form, has more severe symptoms.
She has already undergone three major surgeries, but if her arthritis worsens as it is,
She may not be able to walk like her mother. But her daughter doesn't resent her mother. She resembles her mother,
Growing up brightly, she overcomes her pain with a smile.

“I always try not to look weak, not look small, and live brightly.
I tried to talk to the kids a lot and be active.”

▶ Thumbelina mother and daughter, the world they live in
The mother and daughter relied on each other and became each other's strength. Two people who have been each other's biggest supporters more than anyone else.
Laughter never stops at the Thumbelina mother and daughter's house. The mother is her daughter
She taught her that there are many people in the world. Thin, fat, short, and tall people
people. Looking at the world from a slightly different perspective. What is the world like that the two people look up at?
What does it look like? Take a look at how they live in <Good People>.

“If you think everything is bad, it is infinitely bad.
If you think it's good, you'll think everything is good.
So, I hope you live well while being grateful for the little things.”
