'Grandma has a 효자손 — a back-scratcher. Why that name?' 'It stands in for the hand of a 효자 — a devoted child.' 'What's 효도?'
孝 — 老 (elder) over 子 (child): a child carrying an elder on their back. 孝道 the way of serving parents well. 孝子 a devoted son, 孝女 a devoted daughter, 孝心 the heart that thinks of parents.
不孝 — 不 flips it: not devoted. 'Carrying, and not carrying!'
'Devotion isn't a big deal. Saying "that was delicious" after a meal — that's where it starts.' 'Then I'm a 효자!' 'You can carry someone with your heart.'
'Grandma, forget the 효자손 — I'll scratch your back. A real devoted child's hand!'
효도는 노인을 업은 아이, 효자손은 효자 대신 긁어 주는 손이었어요.
