Choi Yongshin Memorial, Part 2


 : While seeing the story, I came to think why good people die early... Damn bad thing... because God was jealousy of her? or God couldn't see her suffering on earth and bring her to heaven earlier? She died young of malnutrition. What a tragedy...it is.


 The former President, No Muhyun died... and then Kim Daejung... and then Kim Youngsam... The bad three former presidents are still alive... Jeon Du whan, No Taewoo and Lee Myoungbak... In this way, the next one should be No Taewoo.

 Looking at the traces of her love


 At every corner, you can see her love... not a history or something else... I think people also loved her so much...then.



Together, Chuseok play


The memory of the time she was...




Things she used

 Sangroksu and Choi Yongsin...

 

 Here is Sangroksu where she devoted her youth... I came to the top of a mountain to take a picture of current Sangroksu... How would she feel about this changed city... the local place. 


 Long ago the movie based on the Novel was made. But it's so old movie... I embedded the movie here... I guess a new movie can be made...

Choi Yongshin Memorial, Part 1


 : Sangroksu is the title of a novel written by Kim Hun, long ago, the last century. I have read and moved by the life of the teachers... who tried to change Korea by education in an suburban areas... under the Japanese ruling... 


 I also agree with the importance of education... This is why the 1%ers do not give up on this... We lost in the game... in the No Muhyun regime... They protested with all the power they had.... including our current president, Park Geunhye.

 The Memorial Park


 After visiting there, I realized why the location name is Sangroksu... And the life of Choi Yongsin became well known through the true-story novel by Kim Hun... Choi Yongsin was a teacher full of love... which changed the kids there...

Empty park...

 Choi Yongsin Memorial

 

 You would find it hard to understand this place if you are not aware of history of Korea under the Japanese ruling. I guess that is why no tourist from abroad been visible while I was there.


 After the 3.1 movement, people realized how important the education is... And bunch of young people devoted themselves in education in country sides of Korea. Ordinary people then just tried to survive... Less food and exploited... Under the harsh situation, some people focused on education.


 To me, stories about a hero or a king is not that interesting or moving... this kind of ordinary people's story is far more interesting... I think they changed the world... not one people. And this is the story on a women teacher who really loved kids and devoted her life for the enlightening people.


 




This is what she said...
