[ ] Today, we are celebrating the Independance Movement Day in Korea.
After a century of struggles and humiliation under the Foreign occupation, on March 1st, 1919, Koreans rose up against the colonial military administration.
As Korea was a very small nation and completely unknown by most of the rest of the World, their call to Independance fell in deaf ears despite being inspired by the 14 points of the Woodrow Wilson declaration at the Paris Peace Conference in Januray 1918.
The repression of the independance movement was bloody, cruel, and spared no one (including women and children).
A century later, Korea is independent and strong. It ranks now among the 12 most developed countries in the World.
As the red pine growing on top of the snowy rocky mountain, solitary and defiant the adverse conditions, Korea managed to stay free and proud of its culture, its language, its heritage, its food, its music, its arts.
Yet, division of its people and soil remains.
Today, we celebrate much more than the March 1st movement.
Today, we celebrate the unique mindset that Koreans have had for the past century to remain who they are, despite all odds and all the big players surrounding them.
This is also the mark of the last days of the winter.
Like every night brings a new day, after 3 years of shadowy struggles, we welcome the spring and look forward to having you onboard with us for this new journey.
