News of Peace Comes to Mexico
The news of peace have been spread
out titled deceasing wars and world peace restoration of light throughout the
five seas and the six continents. Meeting lots of people, the news came to
Veracruz, Mexico with hope. The peace advocate Man Hee Lee was awarded a note
of appreciation by its mayor. More than 15 media had took part in and reported
this event to Mexico and to the world reporting 30 different media.
Veracruz is a city had many historical events in
Mexico. It was a first land in Mexico where the conqueror Hernan Corteś stepped on in 1519 to conquer the continent of
South America. As you know, there was a plantation system in the Age of
Exploration. Those European countries such as Spain, Portugal and England got
tons of people from Africa by trading or kidnaping them. They took Africans and
shipped to Americas. They got the Africans work in farms to sell the products
such as sugar, sugar cane, or some alcohol made from that plants to Europa, and
made so much fortune by trading them.
This is called 'triangular trade', and it could be
possible because of the African who had worked in the farms suffering without
their intention. And, while they were staying America, the mixed blood came
out. This caused problems of mixed blood with lots of crimes and discrimination.
Mexico has been also suffering with the
corruptions, crimes and discrimination. It can be seen as a peaceful place for
resting and sightseeing. However, it has tragic history and there are still so
many social problems and desperate situations.
In that time, Mr. Man Hee Lee's 10th trip must have shown
them light. Before, he visited Tijuana City in Mexico during 7th trip. And this
time, he visited Veracruz and had peace conference and peace walk lately.
Mr. Man Hee Lee mentioned that he believed there must be peace
soon in this land, Mexico as the meaning of its name, peace and blessing. Also
he said all of us, the leaders and citizens of each country, need to work
together and do their best in the positions where they belong in order to
achieve peace.
And he said that, "I feel so desperate whenever I think of
the victims of Sewol ferry. The peaceful world is having no corruptions by
enrooting only justice. That is true peace with calm and harmony. To make it,
the message of peace has to be delivered, so that people should live with peace
and blessing in their mind. He empathized it.
This speech inspired leaders and citizens of Mexico. I hope the
news from Mr. Man Hee Lee can be a touching motivation for peace.
