The history of blood and tears behind the miracle of the Han River

I cried when I watched this movie. People in that era were too bitter and had a lot of tears. It was a history of blood and tears.

Dexiu was born in the war years. During the war, his father and sister Mo Shun separated together. Before the separation, his father told Dexiu to be the head of the family, to be the backbone of the family as a father, and agreed to meet at the pollen home. .

Deok-soo went to polish shoes for the family allowance, and went to West Germany to work as a miner in order to get his younger brother to go to Seoul University. In order to make his sister marry decently, to protect the pollen home, he participated in the Vietnam War. I gave up my dream and worked hard to make money for my family, and I almost shit several times. All of this is for my promise to my father, my responsibility as a family member, and to protect the pollen home and wait for my father's return.

A small, poor and backward country took only a few decades to complete the journey that a traditionally powerful country has gone through for hundreds of years. In those days, South Korea was short of money, technology, domestic market, and resources, that is, there were a lot of cheap labor and good shipping conditions. Many people live for their families. They go to sea to make money to support their families.

The artillery fire was approaching, and the U.S. ships still did not abandon South Korean civilians, taking risks to save people. Dexiu also risked his life to save Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War, and risked his life to save his sister, because he knew the pain of his brother's inability to save his sister. In the process of saving people, Dexiu was shot in the leg. , but I don't think he regrets it.

At that time, Koreans were hard-working, responsible, and very united. They are not living for themselves, they are living for their family and their country. They like the songs of the soldiers. They are glad that they went to Germany to dig coal and go to Vietnam to fight the war, so that the descendants don’t have to work so hard. They stayed at the pollen home to wait for their father, but the family didn’t understand them. They were tired but wanted to make their family live better. Still willing to sacrifice yourself. They are the people who made Korea prosperous.

But the times knocked them out, and their beliefs and nostalgia were not understood by future generations. They paid so much, but they were denied. They are angry at the stars they like, at the songs they teach their children, at the disunity of the family. The descendants are all hedonistic, they have not gone through so much suffering, they have not been so hard-working, and they have no sense of responsibility.

People in the war years suffered too much because their relatives were separated from each other because of the war. I was worried about my relatives for decades, and the moment I finally found it, I burst into tears (it was so touching, I cried so much that I didn't want it)
