Doc, my heart is with you all the way.
I can't agree with you more.

We knew so well but very few of us ever put it down in writings.
And when we are gone; the stories, experiences, and the lessons will be gone as well.
Here, one of our medical alumni, Dr. Luke Kim (김익창 선배님) had done it !!

We are going to run the story in our website in a continuing series.
"사선을 넘어서 - Crossing The Dead Zone" will be here.
Please wait a few days. The work is being arranged at this time.

1. Thank you for sharing Your Life and Thought
for the future generation briefly. But all the
essence is there.

We have One Life to Live, as they say.
But We Can Live Many Lives through Others'.
That's why I have been interested in others'
Memoir, Biography, or Autobiography.

I hope, sun-bae-nim, you write about Your Life
on our page and share with us as your classmate,
Dr. Lee Geun-il(68) did, not long ago.

Many friends of mine in Korea read his life story
with interest, they said.

2. I shall wait for "Crossing The Dead Zone"
coming to our Web.
Thank you, WM, for your effort.

PS; This is beside the point, but if I tell you
"My Life" by President Clinton, published in 2004,
it sold more than 2.25 million copies and received
$15 million for it's advance fee.

It has 1008 pages, and like others, I didn't finish
reading it yet.

젊은이들이 기술과 지식면에서는 이미 선진국 대열에 섰고,경제도 여러 어려움이 있지만 그런대로 나가고,
한류바람이니 뭐니해서 예능분야도 우리도 놀랄만한 성과를 거두고 있지요.
때로는 그들이 대견해서 물끄럼이 쳐다봅니다.
반면 교양 예의 도덕은 서양물이 잘못들어 여엉 신통치 않지요. 중산층의 좋고 합리적인 것은 배우지 않고,
덜떨어진 하층문화 좋지않은 것만 배워오는 것 같아요.
정면에서 노인을 봐도 못본체 저들끼리 이야기하면서 앞으로 걸어오지요.누가 먼저 비키라는 건지....
저 경우는 부닥칠 각오하고 그들 앞으로 그대로 걸어갑니다. 그 결과?
아직까지는 한 녀석도 부딪쳐서 저의 훈계를 듣는 일 일어나지 않았습니다.

Thanks for sharing your life story with us and
I totally agree with your thought  regarding our new generation.  KJ

Thank you for your comments sharing similar sentiments with me.
This is not a story of just me or any one person.  This is the story of millions of Korean people.
It is amazing how quickly we forget our past and brush it under the rug.
Dr. Kim's book in this sense is a valuable asset, from which younger generation can learn not to make same mistakes again.
