Destination in travel to introduce this time is a village Bong-ha in Gyeongsangnam-do Gimhae-jinyoungeup bonsanri(경상남도 진해시 진영읍 본산리).
While I was visiting in the summer of two years ago, I would like to introduce this spot because I still remember vividly. Second year of high school, I belong to the Journalist For One Korea. When I heard the news for the interview, going to the village Bong-ha from reporters, I was very happy. Because, I was very curios about state of birthplace of former president No moo-hyun. Because, among presidents, after presidential term is over, president who returned to birthplace is only No moo-hyun, the news was more special to me.
I arrived at the village Bong-ha after 3 hours bus ride from Jeonju. When I think the village, I would think it was a quiet rural village, but It was close to the tourist area. There were many merchants and tourists around. I thought that many people still remember former president No moo-hyun. and come to the village after two years he has been dead. So I felt that the former president No, moo-hyun is very familiar and person remembered. After filling the lunch stop by the restaurant for a meal, while watching a Bong-ha village, we went to temporary memorial called cherish the memory of a deceased person home. The way to go was seen many volunteers who wore the yellow vest. It was the people who came out of the World Where People Live(사람 사는 세상)of No moo-hyun foundation. I have moved a step coverage while covering volunteers. One of those volunteers was giving to the people to make a pinwheel with yellow paper.
Looked around, there are many yellow pinwheel. A few years ago, he looked one child who want to take the yellow pinwheel in the way, so he started this work that divided the yellow pinwheel which made his own material. I went to the street to go again I also got one pinwheel.
Memorial is temporary, so the scale is not large. However, it was enough to feel that life of former president. I could see that figure with multiple photos, such as appearances wearing a hat of the farmer after came back to the village, drinking rice wine with village people, riding a sleigh grassland. Here I worked as a reporter, I was very happy.
