Time is gold. Its already almost coming to an end to this spring semester . Time fly without me realizing it. Actually , nothing much will change, class would be like normal, life will roll on like scheduled on our routine board. Only 2 significant thing will be missing, which is the cool-chilling weather on spring-day will be replaced by humid hot summer , and my beloved ikemi will end her service soon.
Just like her appearance, my ikemi, 은영( eun yong) is a friendly person and every action of hers reflects her cuteness embedded in her. Being under her, I've learned a lot thing things outside the classroom, such as using the postal services so i can post stuff back to Malaysia , furthermore improve my fluency and accuracy in speaking in Korean language. I was being treated like a little sister .Now, i decided to blog a little bit about her in order to show my gratitude . I hope we can remain this invisible ties even after our ikemi session ends.
Anyway , last week there's an event which called 5.18 which are held to remember a massacre that took place in that exact place. ( It's her mission to bring me to historical places in 광주( gwangju). Brief history bout the event on 5.18 happened bout 30 years ago .
Background
President Park Chung-hee, after ruling for 18 years, was assassinated on October 26, 1979. This abrupt ending of an authoritarian regime left Korean politics in a state of instability. New President Choi Kyu-hah and his Cabinet had little control over the growing power of ROK Army General Chun Doo-hwan, who took control of the government through the Coup d'état of December Twelfth.
The nation's democratization movements, which had been suppressed during Park's tenure, were again awakening. With the beginning of a new semester in March 1980, professors and students expelled for pro-democracy activities returned to their universities, and student unions were formed. These unions led nationwide demonstrations for an array of reforms, including an end to martial law (declared after Park's assassination), democratization, minimum wage demands, and freedom of press.[2] These activities culminated in the anti-martial law demonstration at Seoul Station on May 15, 1980 in which about 100,000 students and citizens participated.
Such has nourished a culture of opposition attested, for example, in the Donghak Peasant Revolution, the Gwangju Students Movement, the Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion, or the region's resistance to the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598). More recently, under the Third Republic of South Korea and Fourth Republic of South Korea,
Park Chung Hee's dictatorship had showered economic and political favours on his native Gyeongsang region in the southeast, at the expense of the Jeolla[4] region of the southwest. The latter became the real hotbed of political opposition to the dictatorship, which in turn led to more discrimination from the centre. Finally, in May 1980 the city of Kwangju in South Jeolla province exploded in a popular uprising against the new military strongman, General Chun Doo Hwan, who responded with a bloodbath that killed hundreds of Kwangju's citizens.
