“Through their back-and-forth correspondence, we witness their profound self-examination, fragmented experiences of suffering, and the wonder of discovering "another world" through their pain.”–HenBook’s review   Sometimes, when pain reaches its peak, even language loses its power—spoken words become redundant in the face of such profound suffering.   After her boyfriend J of ten years passed away, Lee Win-Shine felt as though she had entered an endless, pitch-black tunnel—no light, no path, no desire to speak to anyone.  Years later, her husband appeared, and she embraced love and happiness once more. Yet just a few years into marriage, her husband suffered a stroke, leaving him unable to speak or swallow. As life crashed down around her again, she lost her ability to feel the world and could no longer write...   Ren, Yi-Dao, who considered himself ordinary, crawled forward within the education system's confines. After the double blow of heartbreak and dropping out of school, he slowly picked himself up from failure. Just as he finally found his calling in psychology work, cancer struck... A life he thought was moving forward suddenly slowed to what felt like a complete stop...   Tears Unshed presents 24 letters—12 from each writer, addressed both to each other and to their own fragile selves. Brought together by the mountains, both writers have endured life's deepest wounds, yet they refused to let themselves fall further.  In the quiet process of healing—and through the courage to receive care—they rediscover the strength to keep walking, one step at a time.   This is a journey of rehabilitation born from their lived experiences—rehabilitation of both body and spirit, and rehabilitation of words themselves. Together, they hope that "when the world is drenched in torrential rain, their words can provide shelter, even if just for a moment, for someone in need."
