Attitude that every press in the world needs to have - Mr. and Mrs. Taylor’s ‘Dilkusha'

2-17, Sajikro, Jongrogu, Seoul, South Korea
This house was obviously built in American style.
The name of the two-story house is ‘Dilkusha' which was built with red bricks in 1923.
The word is originally in Sanskrit and read as ‘Dilkusha' in English.
This word means palace of hope, happy mind and utopia.
Who built a house with this name?

This house is Mr. and Mrs. Taylor’s house.
Albert W. Taylor who is an American came to Joseon with his father, George Taylor, in 1896.
After that, he had worked as a UPA correspondent in Seoul and helped Joseon for its independence by letting the whole world know Japan’s atrocities.
He found the Korean Declaration of Independence which was hidden by a nurse who helped a birth of his son, and sent it to Tokyo by hiding under the heel of his brother’s shoe.
This was the chance to let the world know about it through an article.

 

Also, he was the one who discovered the Jeamri incident while he was on the move with missionaries on April 17th, 1919.
The Jeamri incident which happened in April 15th, 1919 is that Japan killed civilians after nationwide 3.1 movement.
Because of these activities, he was on the blacklist of Japan and was sentenced 6 months in prison in 1941. His wife, Mary who helped Joseon people along with his husband was sentenced under house arrest.
After getting out of prison, they were deported to the USA.


“If I die somewhere not in Korea, bring my ash to Korea and bury there.”
According to his will, he who died in 1948 was buried in Korea with his father. 

Even though Korea wasn’t their country, they fought with their lives.
With their sacrifice, we could broadcast the damage of war in the third person’s point of view.

The efforts the Taylor’s had made for peace showed us how the press should be.
‘Dilkusha' which is the palace of hope and where the Taylor used to live
What would the appearance of Korea that they hoped for? 
Does Korea.., does the world live in utopia?
What is true peace and what the press should do? That’s what we need to think about once more.

“Peace is our common objective” said Mr. Man Hee Lee

These days there are some horrific events in vast areas of the globe. No one can know when wars will happen and when people will face their own death due to the severe diseases. There is no safe place, and a series of horrific accidents and incidents have continued throughout the years.

I searched news on the Internet with a great hope to hear some peaceful news instead of the series of bad news. And I found news about Mr. Man H. Lee, the Chairman of Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), who is never contrary to my expectations. Today, I’m going to introduce his quotes about peace.

 

 

 

On 2nd July, there was a peace conference at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France. It was hosted by IPCGE (Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Global Ethics). Many international leaders from all over the world were attended, including Mr. Man H. Lee, the former president of Rumania, the former UN Secretary General, religious leaders and congressmen around the world. And Mr. Lee delivered the keynote address. What do you think about what he said at that moment? He put emphasis on the legislation of law regarding world peace, and the role of religious leaders as a guide for peaceful culture, and especially the creation of peaceful culture with regard to 11 UN resolutions.

 

After this conference, he again became the keynote speaker at the symposium which was co-hosted by Montenegro and ICD (Institute for Cultural Diplomacy) on 9th July. “Almost all of the disputes and conflicts over the world have taken place because of the difference of ideologies, religions, and cultures. To relieve this issue the whole world must have a common objective to peace and become one so that a peaceful culture can be settled on this earth.” said Mr. Lee.

 

The audiences were responding very positively on his speech. In addition, the ICD representative and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Montenegro delivered letter of appreciation to Mr. Lee (the chairman of HWPL) and Mrs. Nam Hee Kim (Chairwoman of IWPG). And many international leaders from secular and religious sectors also signed the peace agreement. I think interest in peace cuts across the lines of boundary and religion.

At a press interview which was held right after their return he said, “We should solve the fundamental matters of the various problems in the world.” And “First, all presidents around the world should enact a clause for the cessation of wars and world peace in the international law. Second, the religious world, which is the main cause of major disputes, must be united.”

 

 

Do you know the fact that 80 percent of the world’s population is the religious people? I had seen and heard about many people who determined to be a non-believer because many believers cause wars habitually and seek their own interests. Ironically, believers keep people who are trying to be on God’s side from pursuing their belief. There is no religion in the world which desires disputes and deaths. That’s not the will of God. If God’s will is peace and life, I think Mr. Lee is the right person who is working in accordance with God’s will. As a person who is waiting for the peaceful world, I appreciate his movements for world peace and I look forward to his next peace activities.

Shakira; a guardian angel

All of you may know well the Brazil world cup which was held lately and marked the beginning of summer.  Do you remember an angel wearing a red dress and singing the song ‘La La La’ at the closing ceremony? This angel was a global pop star Shakira (Full name: Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll) from South America.


Her family became bankrupt when she was 8 years old. After being at an orphanage with her father, she realized that there are many poorer children on the earth. Since then, she has made a resolution herself that she’ll help children around the world. When she turned 18, she got prominence in Latin America with her major-label debut “Pies Descalzos”, and founded the Pies Descalzos Foundation at 20. It is a Colombian charity with special schools for poor children all around Colombia. That name of the foundation is taken from Shakira’s third studio album called Pies Descalzos. That is, she began to work for children in earnest since then.
 
.

 

She was also appointed as a UNICEF ambassador and carried out various child protection activities from all parts of the world including her country Columbia.  At her age 36, she had a baby shower together with UNICEF and received presents for children. Those presents were not for her baby, but for all of children to save their lives even though she was pregnant at that time. Below is her maternity photograph.
 

Besides, she donated 4 million dollars for restoration from Hurricane Katrina and has worked on photo maternity shoots to raise money for charity. Also she donated her income from record sale to the African charity. In this respect she is famous not only for activities for child, but also for her steady donation.


Shakira thinks that she should devote herself to search the method to solve and inform the conflicts occurred all around world, and she practices it indeed. People usually help other people after their life becomesw sufficient. But if you look around, some people give a helping hand to others even though their life is not that sufficient. I think Shakira might be able to also practice her activities as she got a spare time and enough money to help others. But she deserves to be respectedwith regard to her devotingattitude for solving problems. There is no doubt that she is a guardian angel of children because she has kept her good mind and has truly practiced what she thought at 8 years old.

 

While talking about her, I am reminded of a phrase ‘the results turn out just as one expects’. Recently, I had an opportunity to talk with a man about peace. He wanted peace but seemed to think peace will be never accomplished. I wonder whether he really wants peace. How many people in the world really desire peace? I think many conflicts on the earth result from the disruption of peace. There will be only sufferings from disputes and conflicts in the situation that peace is punctuated. In this regard, world peace is the only solution. We should have a mind for the peace as Shakira gives hope to many children of the world. In this way, I again think about peace today.
