Hyoyoung: Chicken documentary
People say God sends a dog to those who need a friend. Why did I get a chicken? After living with chickens for seven years, I found the answer. A seaside village chicken diary: the rooster’s crowing shatters the neighborhood’s peace, and chasing an escaped chicken through a tangerine grove can somehow be perfectly peaceful. A first ‘chicken essay’ flaps into the animal world dominated by Fu Bao and cats. Thinking, ‘Not chicken as food—why a chicken?’ Once you get to know chickens, you might come out as a ‘chicken person’ too, exclaiming, ‘Every part of a chicken’s life is beautiful!’ A chick, symbol of a life won by its own effort, breaking out of its egg with all its might; a rooster, running back and forth between exquisite beauty and exquisite pain; a hen, embracing every egg, fertile or not. This book shares the beauty and lessons about life the author saw and learned from chickens—the animal with the largest population on Earth and the dinosaur slaughtered in the greatest numbers.
