from below over a historical period in the space called the Korean Peninsula.\u003cbr\u003e This is because, while most of the people were stuck in the Sinocentric ideology that valued social order, Syngman Rhee took the lead and founded the country by accepting the universal values ​​of liberal democracy and a market economy.\u003cbr\u003e Fighting against the accumulated time of tradition, Syngman Rhee built a free Republic of Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, South Korea was not a country built on the values ​​of spatial continuity within the same time zone.

Park Byeong-yeop’s oral history, 2010, “The Birth of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” Seonin: 333).” Kim Gu’s statement was nothing but surrender.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of the conversation, Kim Gu explains his motive for visiting North Korea and makes the following revealing remark.\u003cbr\u003e “One of the reasons I went to the North-South Leaders’ Meeting was to find out what was actually happening in North Korea.\u003cbr\u003e Even if the Communists halted the expansion of the North Korean army for the next three years and made every effort in South Korea during that time, it would be impossible to build up a force capable of countering the current level of the Communist army. \u003cbr\u003eThe Soviets would easily and imperceptibly send their troops into South Korea, establish a government here in an instant, and proclaim a People's Republic.”\u003cbr\u003e That's a surprising statement.\u003cbr\u003e This is because Kim Gu tells Yu-erman that after visiting North Korea, he became convinced that the North Korean army, supported by the Soviet Union, would invade South Korea and destroy it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.255\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003e1948 Korean Peninsula, a free democratic state led by Syngman Rhee\u003cbr\u003e The founding of the Republic of Korea was a miracle\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We have no objection to the assessment that the freedom and prosperity enjoyed by the Republic of Korea today ranks among the top ten in the world.\u003cbr\u003e South Korea ranks among the world's top countries not only in terms of political standards such as democracy and economic standards such as capitalism, but also in terms of social standards such as welfare levels, and even cultural standards such as scientific and technological standards and lifestyles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSo, when and by whom was the foundation laid for this prosperity? Needless to say, it was with the founding of the Republic of Korea in 1948, led by Syngman Rhee.\u003cbr\u003e It was not the era of the Korean Empire, when the traditional nation of Joseon only claimed to be an independent nation, nor was it the colonial period when the Korean Peninsula was part of the Japanese Empire, nor was it the era of the US military government, when Korea fought and won against Japan but pursued a trusteeship through collaboration with the Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was in 1948 when Syngman Rhee, who put forward ‘liberal democracy’ and ‘market economy’ as the basic operating principles of the country, sequentially created the National Assembly, Constitution, and government, establishing a new country called the Republic of Korea.\u003cbr\u003e In December of the same year, Syngman Rhee obtained international recognition of the sovereignty of the new nation, the Republic of Korea, through the UN.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to Syngman Rhee, who spearheaded this series of events, South Korea has become a proud member of the international community, enjoying freedom and prosperity and rising to become a top 10 nation today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Republic of Korea, a new nation that emerged in 1948 in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, used three driving forces as the foundation for its development under the leadership of Syngman Rhee.\u003cbr\u003e The first is the will to ‘modernize’, which aims to transform a traditional nation into a modern nation.\u003cbr\u003e The second is the will to ‘resist Japan’, which sought independence from Japanese imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e The third is the ‘anti-communist’ will to oppose Soviet communist totalitarianism.\u003cbr\u003e If any one of these three driving forces had been missing, the prosperous Republic of Korea we see today could never have been established.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If there had been no will to modernize, the new country would have had to take the path of restoration, returning to a traditional dynastic state.\u003cbr\u003e It is a choice that cannot but be anachronistic.\u003cbr\u003e If independence from Japan had been a means to return to the Joseon Dynasty, the modern values ​​of “liberal democracy” and “market economy” would not have been able to take root. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition, if there had been no anti-communism, South Korea today would have become a bizarre communist dynasty like North Korea.\u003cbr\u003e This is why the combination of the driving forces of ‘modernization + anti-Japanese + anti-communism’ is important.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Let's go back in history for a moment.\u003cbr\u003e As a result of the anti-Japanese movement, liberation came in 1945, and the specter of communism emerged on the Korean Peninsula.\u003cbr\u003e Stalin of the Soviet Union, which occupied North Korea, was obsessed with the task of communizing not only North Korea but also South Korea, while manipulating Pak Hon-yong of the South Korean Workers' Party and Kim Il-sung of the North Korean Workers' Party from behind the scenes.\u003cbr\u003e However, the US military government ruling South Korea at the time was completely unaware of the danger posed by the specter of communism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The US military government, on the other hand, guaranteed freedom of thought and did not control them as long as they did not violate positive law. \u003cbr\u003eWhile witnessing the process of creating a communist totalitarian state under Stalin's direction in Soviet-occupied North Korea, the US military government pursued trusteeship through left-right cooperation and kept Syngman Rhee in check, who criticized this.\u003cbr\u003e Syngman Rhee had to endure criticism from the US military government, calling him a \"stubborn old man.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, Syngman Rhee was fully aware that the left-right cooperation in Eastern Europe was ultimately nothing more than a ploy to buy time for the construction of a Soviet communist satellite state.\u003cbr\u003e So, in June 1946, he argued in Jeongeup that a separate government based on liberal democracy and a market economy should be established first in South Korea.\u003cbr\u003e This was because North Korea launched a de facto government with the deceptive name of the \"Provisional People's Committee\" in February 1946, and began implementing land reform the following March, focusing on building a communist state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fortunately, the failure of Eastern Europe brought the United States to its senses. \u003cbr\u003eFaced with the expansion of communism around the world after World War II, U.S. President Truman officially declared a Cold War with the Soviet Union in March 1947 to protect the free world.\u003cbr\u003e As this declaration became concrete on the Korean Peninsula, the US military government's left-right cooperation lost momentum.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, Syngman Rhee's anti-communist policy followed the flow of the international order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the United States, having abandoned cooperation with the Soviet Union, handed the Korean issue over to the UN, the international community finally resolved to hold general elections on the Korean Peninsula in November 1947 based on population proportion.\u003cbr\u003e Communist North Korea, of course, rejected this.\u003cbr\u003e It wasn't just a simple rejection.\u003cbr\u003e To disrupt the election scheduled for May 10, 1948, the Soviet Union and North Korea mobilized the South Korean Workers' Party and left-wing groups to commit murder, arson, strikes, and riots throughout South Korea, similar to the Jeju April 3 Incident.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, the Soviet Union and North Korea even used the deceptive tactic of “inter-Korean negotiations” to incite South Korean unification supremacists.\u003cbr\u003e Some nationalists danced to the communists' tune.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Gu and Kim Kyu-sik were representative examples.\u003cbr\u003e Syngman Rhee's anti-communism was a choice made to anticipate and overcome these difficulties.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, putting aside the driving force of modernization, anti-communism was as important a driving force in the founding of the Republic of Korea as anti-Japanese resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What would be the result if we erase anti-communism from the driving force of nation-building and instead prioritize only anti-Japanese sentiment? As is well known, Kim Won-bong led the anti-Japanese struggle of communist groups before liberation and was a key figure in the Provisional Government's left wing.\u003cbr\u003e After liberation, he returned to South Korea and eventually went over to North Korea, where he became the Minister of Labor, thereby denying the free democratic state of the Republic of Korea. \u003cbr\u003eHe ultimately remained faithful to his role as an assistant to Kim Il-sung, who started the Korean War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Gu is also a figure who played a significant role in the resistance against Japan toward independence before liberation.\u003cbr\u003e Kim Gu, who protected the declining provisional government until the end, also led the anti-trusteeship and anti-communist struggles together with Syngman Rhee until 1947 after liberation and return to Korea.\u003cbr\u003e However, he ended up leaving the ranks of those who founded the Republic of Korea by rejecting the May 10 elections in 1948, the first step toward establishing a free Republic of Korea, and by compromising with the communist forces in the North.\u003cbr\u003e The fact that we cannot protect and nurture a free Republic of Korea solely through anti-Japanese resistance without anti-communism is clearly revealed in the cases of Kim Gu and Kim Won-bong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The establishment of the Republic of Korea in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula in 1948 was a miracle in both time and space.\u003cbr\u003e The Republic of Korea was not a country built on modern values ​​built through struggles from below over a historical period in the space called the Korean Peninsula. \u003cbr\u003eThis is because, while most of the people were stuck in the Sinocentric ideology that valued social order, Syngman Rhee took the lead and founded the country by accepting the universal values ​​of liberal democracy and a market economy.\u003cbr\u003e Fighting against the accumulated time of tradition, Syngman Rhee built a free Republic of Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, South Korea was not a country built on the values ​​of spatial continuity within the same time zone.\u003cbr\u003e After the end of World War II, the Eurasian continent, from Eastern Europe to East Asia, was saturated with the red values ​​of communism.\u003cbr\u003e At one corner of that vast and long space, Syngman Rhee established the Republic of Korea, a free democratic nation.\u003cbr\u003e It was a miracle created thanks to Syngman Rhee, who foresaw the problems of the communists, fought against them, and stopped them.\u003cbr\u003e If there had been no Syngman Rhee, there would have been no Republic of Korea.\u003cbr\u003e We should be grateful to Syngman Rhee.\u003cbr\u003e -From the text\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
