Comments on: Kayoung Lee is a researcher. Until now, I have thought that no one else shared the kind of burden I suffered. I thought I would overcome this suffering by my own efforts. In my case, I keep living with the help of my friends and supporters. That’s what I think. Of course, I should not depend on them too much. I guess anyone may encounter discrimination and prejudice anywhere, and there must be people suffering in any society, not just the Buraku. Now, I give lectures about Buraku and human rights issues once a week, mixing in stories about how I reached this point. After I do that, students who live with a similar sense of stagnation write to me about how they feel. It is nice when I can tell them ‘You can overcome this.’
