Seoul through the eyes of liberty and peace (Jeongdong & Gwanghwamun)

Description
Sejong-daero intersection is the main street in Korea. Here, people voice different opinions on diverse issues such as politics, society, religion and culture. Though they resemble a rally or an event, but in fact, they represent where the Korean society is heading and will add another page to the country’s history. Therefore, a good understanding of Korea’s modern and contemporary history in Jeongdong and Gwanghwamun areas will offer a glimpse of the past, the present and the future. A recent history-studying craze in Korea added popularity to books covering the historic sites of Jeongdong and Gwanghwamun as well as history-related tour programs. Almost none of them, unfortunately, successfully shed light on unification, which will create a new order for Korea and her neighbors. This book aims to look backon our past centering around Jeongdong and Gwanghwamun, while looking ahead to the future era of unification. Going for a stroll in the areas of Jeongdong and Gwanghwamun with help of this book will allow us to share our thoughts on individuals, community and people in the light of history and we hope this sharing could be a starting point of Korea’s unification based on liberty and peace
