   • 1992, 김 아나톨리 [gim anatolli], “수난시대 중앙아시아의 韓人들”, in SBS‎^[1], Uzbekistan:

     웃음하고 쟤 말 한단 말이오... 우리 업신봐서... 우리 살이 어럽다구, 따이 작아서 사는 데서 살라구. 그런 말 들으니 우울습지.

     Useumha-go jae mal handan mari-o... Uri eopsinbwa-seo... Uri sari eoreopda-gu, ttai jagaseo sa-neun de-seo sal-lagu. Geureon mal deur-euni uulseupji.

     They laughed and as they belittled us they (the Korean students) said... our lives are hard, [in Korea there is] little land [so] just keep on living where you live now. After hearing that I felt very depressed.
