Answer 1

Tok-chae's relationship with his wife has been affected by the war because he was forced to leave her behind and fight in the war, causing a strain on their marriage. In the text, it says, "His wife's face grew farther and farther away, and between them lay dozens and hundreds of miles of hills, streams, and a war-wracked village." This shows how Tok-chae's absence and the horrors of war have physically and emotionally distanced him from his wife, leading to a breakdown in their relationship.
