How will you record and remember the history of your own past?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first read slowly through this book, the struggles of human beings came vividly alive within the merciless tides of history, where victors and the vanquished forever change places. Drawing on Confucian rationalism, Kim Bu-sik recorded the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms. It is not merely an old tale, but a clear-eyed report on which decisions saved a nation and which arrogance brought one down. Facing these records, I come to realize that an individual life, too, is a history built up from the choices of every passing moment. How do you wish today to be recorded in the history book of your own life?
"Even though the nation has fallen, the beautiful customs it left behind cannot be forgotten."Kim Bu-sik, Samguk Sagi
"비록 나라가 망하였으나, 그 남긴 아름다운 풍속은 잊을 수 없다."
