A summer day

In August on a hot day like today, I naturally recalled the atmosphere of my second visit to Kanjin, Ryonei, China. That was when I had lost my mother less than a week before my departure, and I wandered around Kanjin town looking for her image as I wished to encounter her by chance. As I saw a vigorous women with a smiling face, boiling sweets and selling them and fruits in a street, etc., I dreamt about seeing my mother soon, and I felt happiness for a while. They also made me vigorous and helped me a lot. While we were not allowed to climb Mt. Gojo at that time, I became very depressed and Mr. Idaki Shin proposed to me that he should create a special song expressing my heart. Then we cancelled the rest of our travel plan, and immediately left Kanjin and came back to Japan. The title of the music was “ song of a heavenly angel in her sorrow” and as I listened to it I realized that beauty was eternal. I recalled that when I stood on the land of king Tomei, I received a message from Mother Earth, that the life of a woman was always sad, as she was destined to sacrifice everything so that her child would live on under any circumstances. Now her heart would be completely nursed, as a truly peaceful human era was being realized. When I had left the land of Koguryo at that time I swore to myself that I would completely revise my life, and now I was living a new life, ready to tackle any problems in the world.
