RIP, you will always be remembered

May 23, 2009

A ordinary man with very ordinary values who tried to change Korea has deceased. The man who has spent his entire life fighting for the humanity has thrown his life away and kept his dignity against the political oppression of the current administration.

Amidst hypocrites and thick-faced liars in this scene, he was the only one who kep his ordinary values as a human being and refused to compromise them to protect his people and the history.

Now he's gone. The great leader that the country has never realised what he truly was to itself, has left a lot of legacies and lessons that our generation has to deal with.

Mr. Roh. I will remember you. The society will remember you. The history will remember you. As another ordinary citizen just as you were, I will remember this day and constantly remind myself of what you were trying to accomplish in our society.

Thank you. It was great to have you as our president.

Rest in peace.
