아빠, 위인전을 잘못 읽었어.

몇일전 아들녀석이 내게 묻는다.

"아빠, 중국 대통령이 바뀌었어?"

"대통령이 아니고 주석이지. 이번에 바뀐다고 했는데"

"누가 주석이 되는데?"

"시진핑이라고 하던데"

그때 예상치 못한 답변을 아들녀석이 보냈다.

"아!~~ 나 위인전 잘못 읽었어."

"엉? 그건 무슨 말이야?"

"지난번에 후진타오를 전기를 읽었잖아. 그런데 시진핑으로 바뀌면 필요가 없잖아. 시진핑 위인전을 읽었어야 하는데..."

권력이 내려놓으면 위인전의 인물이 평범한 갑남을녀가 되는걸까? 혹시 나도 아들 녀석처럼 생각하고 행동하는 것은 아닐까?

"Even though I have only one younger sister, I have a hard life mentally."
"Unfortunately Hu Jintao had two younger sisters. It was a terribly disaster
