Father Lee Tae-seok has become a symbol of love, sacrifice, and human beauty in our time.
Since becoming known to many people through the movie "Don't Cry for Me", many activities have been carried out to commemorate his life and will.
One of these activities is Inje University College of Medicine's efforts to enable students pursuing a medical career to learn from his spirit by offering the "Lee Tae-seok Memorial Course" as a subject since 2013.
Fifteen years have passed since Father Lee Tae-seok left us in 2010.
Inje University Medical School, the alma mater of Father Lee Tae-seok, planned this book with ten humanists to shed more three-dimensional light on the various aspects of Father Lee Tae-seok, who was not only a priest but also a doctor, an educator, and, above all, a friend and a humorous human being.

Just because Father Lee Tae-seok's life was noble, there is no need to distinguish between him and us.
We should not think that Father Lee Tae-seok was born a holy man from the beginning.
Because what he did might be considered impossible for an ordinary person to achieve.
The inspiration that Father Lee Tae-seok conveys should not end with looking up to him.
The value of the impression will increase as we strive to be like him.

The title of the book, “All Days Were Good,” is borrowed from Lee Tae-seok’s last words, “Everything is good,” and contains the meaning of encompassing his life by following the footsteps he left behind based on the multiple identities he possessed.
Inje University College of Medicine and its writing team studied Lee Tae-seok's life and tried to write about it as fully as possible in the hope that many people would easily approach and meet him.
Although Lee Tae-seok's life was great, the materials he left behind were too insufficient for research.
Our writing team felt anew that Lee Tae-seok lived for others with his whole body and soul, not for himself.

Father Lee Tae-seok's love for others was the 'image of Jesus' that he met in Tonz, and Doctor Lee Tae-seok's love was a healing that willingly shared not only physical illness and pain, but also the suffering of the lives of the people of Tonz.
The path he walked with these two senses of calling was one of interest, consideration, and sharing, and that love was a fragrance that changed people's lives.

One way could be to feel sympathy for those who are less educated and have less than you, and to try to teach and enlighten them from a vertical perspective.
However, Lee Tae-seok showed a much more patient-centered attitude than that.
He wanted to become a member of the Tonze community.

Growing up amidst the influence of these many people, Lee Tae-seok was eventually able to create his own beautiful fragrance.
In that respect, Lee Tae-seok doesn't really need any adjectives.
Because he is none other than Lee Tae-seok himself.

"Universal love," the core of Mozi's philosophy, refers to the mutual concern and consideration of individuals in groups and society. It is a universal love that transcends blood ties or personal relationships, regardless of social status, and "loves others as one loves oneself." Isn't its most distinctive characteristic a utilitarian love that "benefits one another?" Ultimately, Mozi's love overlaps with Li T'ai-shi's in that the practical goal of peace in family, group, society, and nation is a core goal, suggesting that this may be the starting point for another perspective from Li T'ai-shi.

Father Lee Tae-seok's life left us with another pioneering insight, one that fundamentally rethought our perceptions and approaches toward minorities, demonstrating how diverse capabilities can be integrated and practiced in complex modern society.
His life is significant in that it provides a model of missionary work different from that of Western saints such as Charles de Foucauld.

Lee Tae-seok expressed the passion he poured into it by saying, "It was something you did to me."
What he did to Tonze was not done to the people of Tonze, but to himself.
If you water it, you can experience the joy of sprouting, if you take care of it, you can experience the joy of growing it, and if you fertilize it, you can experience the joy of bearing good fruit.
To Lee Tae-seok, the Tones kids were soon my joy.
It was because she was an irreplaceable and charming joy that Lee Tae-seok was able to love Tones.

The lowest land does not carry any racial or geographical connotations.
Because God's love is the love of the cross where the vertical (heaven) and the horizontal (earth) meet.
Missionaries go out to do their work wearing a cross around their neck.
At the intersection of vertical and horizontal, there were countless events that became history.
The words that Father Lee Tae-seok reflected on for his inner spirituality attest to this.
“I must enter into them and become humble.”
--- p.217~218

The common mood revealed in the four films related to Lee Tae-seok is the power of love and empathy.
When you truly love and empathize, you naturally serve and share.

Father Lee Tae-seok's life is not something that should remain merely a memory of the past.
His spirit must be actualized in a public and sustainable way, incorporating the identity of the Busan community.
Busan has the potential to grow into a city symbolizing love, sharing, and community solidarity, based on the spirit of Father Lee Tae-seok.
It is time to reinterpret the bride's message, "Will you be my friend?" within us, and to plan and implement more active and comprehensive commemorative projects so that citizens can become "friends" alongside her.
Through this, the spirit of Father Lee Tae-seok will become a precious legacy of Busan's future that will be passed down to future generations.

Systematizing the research and analysis of literature that remembers and describes Lee Tae-seok will allow us to understand him more objectively, rather than relying on the image and discourse of Lee Tae-seok reproduced by the media.
Please do not misunderstand, this does not mean that the life of the current priest Lee Tae-seok, or the life of the human Lee Tae-seok, is exaggerated.
This article is not about Lee Tae-seok as portrayed in the media or as the effect of media discourse, but rather a small suggestion that we need to newly understand and examine the thoughts and values ​​of Lee Tae-seok, who lived a life devoted to others in his multi-talented roles as a priest, doctor, educator, musician, and writer.

Since I was little, my dream was to become a doctor.
This vague dream became firm after meeting the priest.
Because everything the priest did when he came to Tonze was so moving to me, and I wanted to be like him.
Seeing you work hard and make an effort to help those in need gave me the determination to become a doctor, and it also made me realize the importance of the profession.

--- p.336

I was also touched by the sight of Father Lee Tae-seok coming from far away to treat the sick and express his gratitude to God.
Father Lee Tae-seok, who came from another continent, Korea, to save the people of South Sudan, may truly be an angel.
I felt that the consistent way I treated people wherever I went was exactly the same as how Jesus treated people.
The priest had the power and heart to make people happy, regardless of age, whether they were children or adults, men or women.
