Visit by winds in pure blue 

As was suggested by one of my friends, I watched a TV drama entitled Shumou. It was about the early days of king Tomei and his mother Ryuka. She had to live separately from everybody she loved. Though it was an artificial story, her tears impressed me greatly and I realized that I was her descendant and her sadness had been handed down to my life generation after generation as I knew that the history of Koguryo started with her grievances that had not been nursed until I had encountered Mr. Idaki Shin who miraculously wiped them away so that nobody could do it throughout history. I called this a dream far beyond dreams. When I closed my eyes I envisioned that the surface of Amnokwang river started to reflect light of hope and ancient winds in blue were blowing within my life that seemed to come to tell me of the arrival of the time to get everybody together and to build a new country. The sound of the guitar played by Mr. Idaki Shin was expressing this beautiful moment in the history of humankind; winter snow was melting to a welcome aroma of spring and the birth of numerous new lives.
