Korea is a country that is small. However, it has about 5,000 years of history, and traditions and cultures. Also a lot of heritages.
However, there are a lot of countries trying to distort history. For example, China has been distorting history using China`s five-year research program on Northeast Asia over Goguryeo, the ancient Korean country which was one of the Three Kingdoms that existed in Korea ruled much of Manchuria, which is the north of the Korean Peninsula and is now part of the Chinese territory.
And Japan is claiming that Imna Japanese Ministry existed. They claim that the Yamato Government setted up an agency to rule the Southern Part of the Korean Peninsula during the 4th century. Not only that, they call the East Sea(Donghae) as the Sea of Japan, and claim that Dokdo is theirs even though there's evidence.
Like this, our history is getting distorted. But, we aren't actually interested in our history. Now we should be interested. Because we're alive now because there was the past. And loosing history is the same thing with loosing the root of our country.
So, we should read some history books. Also, we should be aware of the distorted things and try to get those things right like VANK : Voluntary Agency Network of Korea. Most of all, we should love our history.
Let's love our history!
