When refugees arrive at the host country, they wear their best clothes, not rags. Not because their lives were not hard, but because they want to start their new lives well, with dignity.

난민들이 새 나라에 도착할 때는 넝마가 아니라 가장 깨끗한 옷을 마련해 입는다. 이전의 삶이 힘들지 않았기 때문이 아니라, 새 나라에서의 삶을 밝게, 존엄하게 시작하려 하기 때문이다.

That’s a lovely way to represent the fragility of the journey that takes people to a new life in distant and unfamiliar places.

Thank you. I feel the fragility myself as I move between countries as a scientist. I can only wonder what refugees would feel like.
