Chapter 7 section 4Seoul's childhood landscape after the Korean war
On Sunday, June 25, 1950, north Korea invades South Korea,
causing Korean war.
The Korean War is causing the two Koreas to burn and destroy
almost all of them, resulting in the desolation of their land.
The Korean War destroyed and burned almost all of the Korean
peninsula.
So Korea was sad to be destroyed in whole country.
In the 1960s, the ruins of the aftermath of the war aftermath
swept the Korean War.
In the 1960s, the damage from the aftermath of the Korean War
was beyond imagination.
At that time, Korea was the ruin itself.
So a foreigner who was a war correspondent during the 625 war
used to criticize, 'Can a rose bloom from a pile of garbage!'
Under the name of red unification, communists in North Korea
waged war on the Korean peninsula.
It was a riot of communist Koreans who had no historical
consciousness.
Park Heon-young and Kim Il-sung are host of the Korean War.
They are war criminals in Korean history..
The Korean War of 625 was a painful and devastating war that
killed millions of Korean people and foreign
peoples.
Foreigners include US soldiers and Chinese soldiers.
I just hope that this Korean war will never happen again.
When I was a child, I remember the days happily during Hyehwa
elementary School.
My house of child food was Korean traditional style House which is located behind Hyehwa Station
in Seoul's castle town.
It occurs dimly Korean traditional house which is located behind Hyehwa Station
in Seoul's main gate, the narrow alley in the neighborhood, the old road that had
been went to elementary School, Rotary
fountain. blue back garden of small mountain , view of neighborhoods across the street, neighborhood
Church Buildings and Crosses, Chime bells and shouts of children born after the
Korean War.
Every day, it used to take tests at my elementary School in the strongest feelings in the
deepest memories that I have ever felt when I was young.
Command of the teacher goes on with test.
“Do not take your eyes off the test paper until the bell
rings ding-dong. '’
Now, 60 years have passed, but the scary and cruel voice of
the teacher at elementary School continues
to hover in my ears.
I will not take my eyes off it until one minute and one
second even on the test paper of life,
The test paper is now replaced by writing paper and dances on
this.
Even now, I don't understand why teachers had to take exams
and grade them by handing them out every day.
At that time, the teachers became at the sky and the level of
gangsters carrying clubs.
From the perspective of the child…
Teacher’s words were the law, and the school was the military
academy
At that time elementary
School was a terrible academy
that couldn't find the other than obedience.
At that time, the forceful atmosphere to enter a prestigious
secondary school was the best order for the students of elementary school.
Nevertheless, the days of the elementary school were very different from the secondary
school.
However, there was a little romantic space where young
concentric flowers are essential in time of elementary school .
It was allowed to read books of child’s story and biography of great man .
It was also allowed to spend time through playing soccer with
the children friends of neighborhood in a narrow alleyway
As far as education is concerned, Korea's education situation
is not much different then or now.
From elementary school, suffering from entrance examination
hell almost reached the Choking level from view of SKYMOM.
The Korean test is sufficient to brainwash the human brain
and body from elementary school to college.
He was a baby boomer generation, so his school class had a
morning class and afternoon class with two-part classes.
In some cases, the
memory of the three-part classes is new.
There were so many young students that the classroom was not
enough in his childhood.
It is an era of population cliffs, so numbers of elementary
school are decreasing in Seoul.
He feels that many years have passed.
As a child, SKYMOM was sickly.
So he fells down open,
caught a cold, and it also occurs tonsillitis and had a lot of heat.
However, there are no exceptions to the daily test time.
He had to keep a strict unwritten rule which he had to take
the test in my elementary school when he was sick.
The elementary school was a military academy for children.
It is still not growing the trembling of the childhood front the test papers in his mind.
A inner mind of child
who can't let go is still crouched alive in his deep mind.
It is always written in the life record written by elementary
teachers.
'As a introspective child ’
When I was young, I thought that elementary teachers would
write as same to anyone.
It's been a long time until I know what the word means.
Indeed, many hours passed by before you realize it.
An introverted, unfamiliar, shy child is only from within and
has not grown strong.
It's bleak, and it's embedded in the inner cave as a rebellious
child.
Others say that the
body grows and the heart grows.
Why can't an inner child of SKYMOM who crouch from his heart grow up?
As a child, the elementary school was a military training
center for young children.
The teacher's teachings are strict training in the elementary
school.
Once I was just getting into elementary School.
I was so scared and
shy that I couldn't go to the bathroom in the class .
So I couldn't stand to
take a dump in class so had to shit in class..
The children next to
me said, 'Hey, it smells shit here. ”
The teacher didn't even come near his seat.
SKYMOM went home, dropping a bunch of shit.
He told his mother who
she wore Korean traditional clothing and was going out.
So she is angry.
"Why didn't you tell your teacher you'd go to the
bathroom?" she scolded SKYMOM.
'If I had the courage, I would go to the bathroom ... ’
The inner child develops rebellion again.
This landscape is hidden in it.
When he was in the 4th grade, he was coming home on the autumn
day.
After school he went to art school.
The art teacher said to
young me "today, draw General Yi Sun-shin on the drawing paper.
This is because General Yi Sun-sin is a great hero of
Koreans.
At that time and now, he didn't have the ability to make
sketches, and his art teacher demanded
him a difficult picture.
He was looking at the Western statues with reluctantly and blank
mind.
At that time the kind art teacher approached him and picked
up a yellow colored pencil kindly and created General Yi Sun-sin at the level
of Picasso.
Until a while ago, nothing was alive in white paper.
Admiral Yi Sun-Shin is alive by his hands with the magic of
his teacher, and the lively picture is unfolded like magic.
The next coloring is to eat bread.
It is very easy for SKYMOM.
It's enough to fill painting just in your favorite pretty
colors, that is, red, yellow, and blue on the drawing paper
However, the romantic life that he did not want to attend art
academy ended soon.
Strict father knew SKYMOM’s mind who is not interested in
drawing ..
SKYMOM’s father censored
the drawing paper.
There were many paintings that escaped from the art academy,
fluttering in the drawing paper,
The conclusion is
obvious.
“Stop going to art academy right now”
His father’s strict
command ordered to his mind.
Even now, he visits the art museum to appreciate the paintings as
a child,.
It was an art class that I didn't like drawing in my
childhood, but now I'm a friendly friend.
It was an art class that he didn't like drawing in my
childhood, but now painting becomes a
friendly friend for him.
The mind, the aptitude, and the taste change with time. like
all things.
Years flow like a river.
The childhood’s devil is now turned into a companion at old age.
Here's a travel sketches of Busan( Korean Port city) that SKYMOM
wrote in elementary school.
It writes down as it is , what he wrote at that time.
It is a travel diary in a literary book created by the writing
teacher's homework during the first year of junior high school writing.
This travel diary was recorded the literary book created by

[ ‘In Pusan’
It was in the fifth grade of elementary school on 1968 ..
I went to Pusan and played with my older brother and sisters.
It's the day I've been waiting for and waiting for.
It was a sunny morning on August 3, 1968.
I was excited for breakfast and prepared to go picnic.
It could not represent any word as wonderful joy.
After greeting my parents, I went to Seoul Station and bought
a ticket and got on the train.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, the train started moving
slowly.
Looking at the window, a electronic pole that soared high in
the sky stood back to back ..
After about 10 minutes, I could see the farmland.
I could see my endless farmland at a glance, and it seemed to
please my heart even more.
Time has passed.
I was in the train about 3 hours, so the refreshing mind
disappeared and I even fell a boring mind.
My train passed the cave, crossed the river, and arrived in Pusan
city.
As we got off the train and passed through Pusan Station, our
father's friend came out to meet us.
He took us to his home.
The day was so tiring that I went straight into the bed.
The next morning we went to Songdo beach in Pusan city.
However, Songdo beach was dirty so I do not want to swim.
But I can't.
If it comes for a swimming, I must get into swimming in sea..
Swimming was not fun for me.
When I got home, I
feel tired continuously .
The next day I went to Haeundae beach and played with my
father's friend's family.
But it suddenly began to rain while playing and swimming,.
I came back house inevitably..
The next day I went to Dadepo beach and played with swimming .
Dadepo beach was not
as clean as Haeundae beach .
However, at low tide, it was surprising that if you go out of
50-60m, there is a place where there is no water in some places, and even a
place where there is water does not reach your knees.
However, there is no water anywhere in 50-60yard at low tide.
It was surprising that place where the sea water is located
does not even cover the knee.
the place where the
water was, not even the knees.
The next day I went to
Taejongdae famous tourist resort at Pusan.
I was scared to go on the cliff by bus.
In Taejongdae tourist resort, I just played without swimming.
. The rolling waves . The windless horizon.
Looking at this
beautiful scenery, I also wanted to live quietly in this place.
The next day was
Sunday.
We went to the
Northeastern Church with Lim of my father’s friend.
The Northeastern
Church stood magnificently next to Ungam Park.
It seemed bigger than
the church I attended.
In the evening, we
took a picture at Ungam Park and watched it.
The next day was the
last day to play in Pusan.
However, I did not go
to Haeundae beach because of diarrhea.
I was bored and
nervous when I was lying at home.
The next day we went
to Pusan Station after packing the suitcase.
I thought about having fun playing at Pusan in trains, so I
just wanted to play more at Pusan. ”]
SKYMOM’s young heart
is melting well at the book of travel to Pusan during his elementary school .
At that time, Pusan city was the most distant region for SKYMOM, and it was the birthplace of
Bethlehem for SKYMOM.
As SKYMOM is standing in the middle of age, it is the
beginning of book of travel filled young mind which is full of regret.
