Baek Ki-wan 1932~2021

Listen to me
Yalu River Daedong River Yeseong River Han River Geum River Youngsan River
It all flows separately, but we meet in the west sea
Duman River Seongcheon River Namdaecheon Hyeongsan River meet in the East Sea
The East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea goes around and blends together again.
Originally we are one, but it’s been over 70 years since we broke up.
I go without seeing unification
I hope the rest of you see it.

Baek Ki-wan.
He devoted his life to anti-dictatorship democratization, labor, and unification movements. It was a life without shaking. He was also a pure Korean speaker. The words that the teacher suggested, such as Saeduki, Daldongne, Newbies, Clubs, and Mokoji are now used by everyone.

Choi Yeol, Chairman of the Environment Foundation, wrote on Facebook:
“I met Mr. Baek’s 70-year companion, Bang Dong-gyu. It is the best fist since Shirasoni, widely known as cabbage. It is said that there was no one who couldn’t pass a fist… … . (A character of his memories)
I first met Ki-wan Baek in 1954, after the Korean War. Baek Ki-wan, who lives in Huam-dong, looked at me and said,’Are your fists so strong? ‘Are you the cabbage?’ he sharpened my cheeks in an instant. He said,’Why is it so great that a man knocked down 10 people with his fists?’ and’If the boy screams once, he should ring 30 million and laugh.’ Hearing that sound is ridiculous, so I just came. I couldn’t sleep. From that time on, when I was alone with Ki Wan, I became a companion, and when there were many, I became a coworker.”

Baek Ki-wan, Bang Cabbage, and Hwang Seok-young are said to be one of the three largest Gura in Korea. Bang cabbage is the first to hit the continental Gura of Baek Ki-wan, which is magnificent in scale and full of secret roses. Yoo Hong-jun joins this rank as a late starter.

Novelist Hwang Seok-young said in a January 2017 contribution to OhmyNews.
“May 16 occurred during the period when Paik Ki-wan was in the peasant movement, and it was when Park Jeong-hee wore the captain’s rank and chaired the Supreme Council. Baek Ki-wan, the leader of the’Peasant Movement’, was also invited to a meeting with the representative of my political party’s social group. I didn’t have a suit, so I went to wear an old homespun top that my colleagues got from the Namdaemun market, but the sleeves were short, so the hem of the shirt came out. The first word of greeting to Park Jung-hee, who is becoming his father, is’Park Hyung!’ It says so. He said,’Revolution in this land is about democracy, not that I want to be in power.’ Then, when he said that he would give him a high seat, he said,’Park hyung, if you give me the seat of the leader, I don’t know if you give me the seat, but I’m a person who does not do the phoenix’s head but the tail. Anyway, there is an anecdote that the Yangju, which was obtained from the Blue House courtyard, was poured out of the used car that Park Jeong-hee gave, saying that he left the road. Afterwards, Baek Ki-wan, who was in the forefront of the anti-military dictatorship struggle, was blind to Park Jeong-hee.

“What a great person has gone?”
This is what a cartoonist posted on social media about Paik. He said this before.
‘While the pro-Japanese descendants lived so hard, what on earth did the descendants of independence activists do?’

‘If you leave a broken window unattended, it will eventually lead to a thief’
Attorney Jung Cheol-seung drew a knife saying he would take care of it. They are collecting data saying that they will be punished continuously for 20 to 30 years.

I ask you / Do not take briquettes with your feet / Who were you ever hotter? (Ahn Do-hyun)
No one has the right to mock the death of a person who has lived with one conviction.

Paik was born in Eunyul, Hwanghae-do. I wanted to go home on the Unification Train.
