Some days ago, I saw the demonstration in the center of Seoul city.
Political demonstration has great meaning in korea
After liberation from the Japanese imperial rule 1945, Korea had suffered war for 3 years as known ‘Korean War’(1950-1953)
Through this war, North and South had killed their brothers and sisters. Korean have lived as one family for thousands years. North korea Kim Il Sung had occurred war against South Korea.
Kim Il Sung was ordered by Stalin. Kim Il Sung wanted to be a communist ruler in Korean peninsular. We korean never forgive the crime committed by Kim Il Sung who killed same tribe.
After the Korean war, the political situation was very complicated. There were 2 times of military coups in Korea. But not like other countries, the rule of the military government was quite successful. The economy was successful. But behind this success, there was a sacrifice of common people.
With the success of the economy, Korean people had rose for democracy. So We korean people attained the political democracy.
In this context, korean people expelled the former President Park Guen Hye and put the in Jail.
Last year winter, there was a huge demonstration in front of the president palace
At that time I took the photos on the street all day long
Even though it was very cold, the demonstration had been for more than 2 months day and night.
Finally the former president was impeached. It was the great victory of ordinary people. We expelled her peacefully.
The demonstration was held on the same street for a wage increase and better job.
The demonstration looked like a interesting march.
Looking at the demonstration, I remembered the people who had sacrificed their lives.
I am really proud of our political accomplishment.
