“Tong – il” It Is A Problem Solving After All!



Our wish are Toooong-iiiiiiillll our dream are Toooong-iiiiiiillll … “Tong – il” mean “Unification”, I am singing “the Unification Song” I have to learnt to sing when I first enter our little primary school and almost every single day(mornings) along with Handel's Water Music Suite or Bach and Beethoven something played at a loud speaker. After few years you are so tired of so goddamn familiarity and become your second skin and built into your sense system become blunt, whether you like it. So for long time sick to death of the familiar sounds. But now, the familiarity hit your nerve like a blanket, nostalgic warm loving glistering sunshine hope rise. Here our Korean soldiers are wearing deeply emotional golden bandaged word “Tong-il” “unification” in their helmets. For me it is a profundity and emotional creed. None Korean are hard to know what I am saying probably. I don’t know what cost is for Korea for the “unification” but it is our great mission for our generation, we can not handover this sacred and burdensome mission to our next generation. We are not enemies of enemies but brothers and sisters. We have no enemies for this scared mission but we only have our own kind, we have to gun point our own hearts for this mission at the heart of our land. That makes me unbearable sad. Unbearable sad that is all. But  However in our life we have to learn to put our emotion aside and have to completely cold blooded about something, if that is much a better outcome. It is a problem solving after all!
