About the Work
"The New Romeo and Juliet - A Story of Love, Forgiveness, and Miracles"
is a novel that reinterprets Shakespeare's classic tragedy with a modern perspective and spiritual imagination.
The story begins when Minjun, an unknown aspiring writer, faces a conflict between his friend's love and faith,
and asks the question, "What if Romeo and Juliet hadn't died?"
Jesus and Buddha appear in his dreams,
and Minjun reincarnates his real-life lovers into the fictional Romeo and Juliet,
writing a new ending that chooses forgiveness over hatred, miracle over death.
This work asks:
Can love overcome hatred?
Can religion and difference become bridges, not barriers?
"The New Romeo and Juliet"
is a prayer of hope for all the "seemingly impossible loves" in the world, and an epic declaration of forgiveness.
