he describes in the poem, he said. "It happened at a market in the Tongdaemun district of Pyongyang. A lot of people witnessed that tragic scene and cried that day," he said."As they watched her, she tried to appear unaffected in the beginning, but after she gave her daughter that mother's parting gift, one last piece of bread, and as she wailed, all the onlookers broke into tears. Even now, my eyes still tear up when I think of that instant."
