A lot of various people and countries are over the world. Have you seriously thought how foreign people think of our country? I have recently discussed our history with my Chinese friend who is one of my closest friends in London and shocked - it was actually argument. There was no point in making the conclusion because it was perfectly different from our education. I figured some points out which information is wrong throughout Korea and China in education.
For instance, we've learned just the good side of Go Jo Seon as if it was really a strong country as enough as fighting against China. I presume the half of it is true - it was far bigger than now, but I couldn't believe well the border in our history book . My teachers have taught me as if lots of Chinese land was our land because many Korean ancient formed bronze knives are come up in the Chinese areas, but I reckon we exaggerate our history. I have recently realised I don't know well how the great ancient Korean kingdom was wiped out. Probably the reason why I can't think of is my teachers haven't thought me very well how it was devastated.
On the other hand, Chinese people have absolutely no idea that our kingdom was as several times big as now - they don't want to recognise that our history. The most surprising thing is European people who have studied oriental history think that South Korea stole the history of North Korea!
I didn’t fall out with him anymore because it is unlikely to integrate identified. Our history is absolutely reduced by other countries. Nobody has interested in the history of the Third World, and, likewise, it has been easily controlled by developed counties. I presume our history is not that diffenrent. We've been frantic to make our country develop for a while, but we should know our history is less estimated than the authentic one.
Therefore I would like to say there is no meaning showing off our history in this coutry. I strongly believe that we can alter the awareness of our history of international view. “Yes, we can” like Burack Obama’s quote. Bravo Korea!
