Introduction: What is True Insight?
Insight is the essential ability to see beyond the surface and perceive the hidden truth of our world. In an era of deception, we must not fall for propaganda; instead, we must discern the lies in words and see things exactly as they are. For instance, Memorial Day should not be a day of simply hearing sirens and thinking about death. It must be a day of deep reflection and progress driven by true insight into our past to ensure a better future.
1. The Tragic Cost of Deception: From Daejeon to the Han River
History warns us of the devastating price paid when leadership lacks integrity. During the early stages of the Korean War, the South Korean military had nearly nothing. The U.S. 24th Infantry Division, led by General Dean, held the line in Daejeon with unwavering courage. They followed orders to the end but were decimated by North Korean tanks, leading to the General’s capture.
Tragically, while the leadership told the people to stay put—claiming they were still in the Blue House—the government had already fled. This lie led to the horrific destruction of the Han River bridges, where thousands of babies held by their mothers fell into the icy waters and were swept away. These tragedies were rooted in the foolishness of leaders who prioritized political "peace treaties" over reality.
2. The Story Behind "Chosin" and the Soldier’s Prayer
To understand the sacrifice of the UN forces, we must look at the name "Chosin Reservoir." Many wonder why the Korean name "Jangjin" was recorded as "Chosin" in Western history. At the time of the Korean War, the U.S. military relied on maps created during the Japanese colonial era. On those maps, the Chinese characters for Jangjin (長津) were written in their Japanese pronunciation, "Chosin." Consequently, the world came to know this brutal struggle as the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Today, the survivors of this desperate fight are honored with the title "The Chosin Few," a name that symbolizes the highest respect for those who endured the unimaginable.
In these frozen trenches, a lone U.S. soldier, surrounded by fallen comrades and devoid of supplies, was once asked what he wanted most. He didn't ask for food; he simply muttered: "Give me tomorrow". He begged for one more day because he feared the sorrow of his parents in America. He could not bear to become a "disloyal son" by dying in a foreign land. ㅡMany soldiers died with such heavy hearts, and 3 million civilians perished as South Korea became a mountain of corpses due to internal factions.
3. Preventing Future Tragedy through the Global Leader
If we continue our internal divisions and fail to exercise insight, history warns that an even greater tragedy—a biochemical war—could follow. A single biochemical strike could kill 20 million people in mere minutes. This is precisely why Huh Kyung-young has come—to stop this tragedy and unite the world.
There is a vast difference between those who see Huh Kyung-young with insight and those who do not. Just as people once failed to recognize Jesus because they lacked insight, the same mistake is being repeated today. We must open our eyes and look at the world through the lens of true insight to recognize the messenger sent to save us.
Conclusion: A Tomorrow Protected by Insight
True faith and survival begin where visible phenomena end. By reflecting deeply on our history—from the frozen hills of Chosin to the bridges of the Han River—we must choose unity over division. Let us ensure that the "tomorrow" so many young soldiers prayed for is never lost again. Open your eyes and embrace the insight that leads to eternal peace and salvation.
