The words shouted by Hong Beom-do, the tiger of Baekdu Mountain, as he commanded the independence army; the silent pledge of Park Chan-ik, the unsung supporter of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea; and the words of Kim Ran-sa, who persuaded the principal of Ewha Haktang, who refused to admit married students...

Words that come out

Into the book
We are all bound to break down at least once in our lives.
There may be more experiences of failure than of success.
But shouldn't the emphasis be on the very fact that you've put in the effort and sweat? Even if you fail, even if you don't win, even if you're defeated, you should prioritize the beginning and the process over the outcome, so that you won't be left with even a trace of regret.
This is another lesson from the independence movement.
--- 「2.
Even if I end up drifting on the vast ocean, I have no regrets - Min Geung-ho -

Because they accepted that sorrow rather than turning away from it, they were able to be reborn with a more noble will to win.
We must stop crying, but we must not deny their existence; we must willingly embrace them as a driving force for growth.
Isn't this the true message of the school song that Park Cha-jeong wanted to convey to future generations of youth?
--- 「18.
From "Crying is useless, so let's all stand up - Park Cha-jeong -"

He emphasized the use of the requesting ending '~ja', which means 'let's do it together', instead of the coercive imperative ending '~ra'.
This is not just about giving orders as a leader, but also about demonstrating a will to share joys and sorrows with the members of the organization as equals, thereby fostering unity.
The most essential quality a leader must possess is to foster a sense of camaraderie without distinguishing between leaders and followers, and it clearly shows that an organization that is not united can easily collapse.
--- 「2.
Let's call each other 'Ja' - Noh Baek-rin -"

How confident you can be with yourself is a testament to how much you truly trust yourself.
A person who believes in himself does not doubt his actions and is willing to take responsibility for all his actions.
Jo Maria wanted her son to remain proud of the honorable deeds he had done, and as an independence activist herself, she devoted herself to the independence movement, shouldering the fate of individuals, families, and the nation.
--- 「21.
"You did the right thing, so don't beg for your life like a coward - Jo Maria -"

I believe that even in the race of life, where we run towards our goals, there is a 'runner's high'.
Runner's high is not the sense of accomplishment you feel when you reach your final goal, but rather the happiness you feel while running toward your goal.
The happiness you experience at this time creates new strength to achieve your goals.
As I take each step, breathing heavily, at some point the pain is forgotten, and only the vivid sensation of 'I am running now' remains.
Even if you don't reach your initial goal, the experience of a runner's high achieved by not giving up and running until the end will become an important driving force in your life later on.
--- 「23.
If I die to achieve my goal, wouldn't that also be happiness? - Lee Hoe-young -

Han Yong-un did not simply regard adversity as 'pain', but rather expressed it as 'good luck', showing his own insight.
He disagreed with the common view that it was natural for young people to endure adversity.
Instead, he faced the reality that the times themselves were a test for the youth, and he saw the youth as a bloody being thrown into that adversity.
However, he emphasized that if you show the will to 'practice' in the midst of that adversity, you can find opportunities and nutrients for growth, and eventually experience the satisfaction of creating a beautiful paradise with your own strength.
--- 「51.
The present age is a time of prosperity that brings good fortune to Joseon youth - Han Yong-un -

Publisher's Review
★New work by YouTuber Lee Young, who has 300,000 subscribers★
“History, it’s useful to know that.”


In today's era, known as the 'Munsa-cheol' era, history is being criticized as a 'useless discipline' that is not practical in reality.
In particular, some universities are merging humanities departments and reducing the number of students admitted.
The reason is the prejudice that it is more difficult to get a job in the science and engineering fields, that you cannot learn useful skills, and that you are stuck in the past.
Is history truly a useless, outdated discipline stuck in the past? "History Magnifier: Lee Young" shatters these age-old prejudices and seeks to make history useful in your life. It compiles the special messages of 51 independence activists who offer insight into the present into a single, handwritten volume.

Dreams, conflict, subjectivity, growing pains, leadership, …
The past answers the common concerns of modern people!


The frustration and wandering of a long-cherished dream, the discouragement and resignation from unfortunate circumstances, the vague fear that comes from uncertainty about oneself, and even the pain of living an unhappy present while blaming the past.
All of these are common concerns we face today.
As time passes, technology and civilization advance, but the fundamental concerns of life remain surprisingly unchanged.
How about finding answers to these concerns through the lives of independence activists who experienced these concerns and achieved great things over 100 years ago?

It doesn't end in awe,
May the will of the independence activists blossom in my life.


It is only right that we should be in awe of the noble sacrifices of the independence activists who created our present.
But if it ends here, history will remain in the past.
In order to inherit the past and create our own history, we must derive attitudes and values ​​from their lives that can be applied to our own lives today.
"A Sentence from History That Came to My Life: A Notebook of Independence Activists" will be a reliable guide to help the will of independence activists blossom in your own life.

This book selects 51 independence activists from among the countless number of people who were "doctors who fought righteously," "martyrs who steadfastly maintained their integrity," and "patriots who sought to deliver sharp messages based on their convictions and insight," and delves into their lives in depth.
Additionally, you can deeply engrave their meaning by directly transcribing the precious words they repeated in their lives.
Furthermore, it helps expand your inner awareness by having you write down what you would like to say to yourself today as a historical figure.

By the time each part of the Doctor, the Martyr, and the Governor is completed, their great insights will not only remain in your head but will also be deeply rooted within you, giving you a solid foundation of strength.
Finally, by answering the questions that run through each part, you will gain powerful motivation to put the insights of independence activists into practice in your own life.
