A few sentiments about the Seoul Spring
I watched the Seoul Spring movie, and it was quite shocking.
The Seoul Spring is historically called the Seoul Spring, because at the time of the incident, the capital of South Korea was still called Seoul. It refers to a series of events triggered by the temporary power vacuum caused by the death of Park Chung-hee in South Korea in 1979.
On February 29, 1980, Choi Gyu-ha** announced the restoration of the freedom of 687 people in Kim Dae-jung. These people come from all walks of life, including university students, professors, pastors, and members of parliament, all of whom have been stripped of their political power because of their opposition to Park Chung-hee's ** rule. Choi Gyu-ha's "thaw measures" have undoubtedly ushered in a more relaxed and liberal political environment in South Korea. In the eyes of the people who oppose Park Chung-hee, the "reform system" of ** has finally come to an end. Democratization in South Korea may be coming, and the "Seoul Spring" has officially begun.
The Seoul Spring movie mainly depicts the coup d'état of the members of the "Ilshin Society" led by Chun Doo-hwan on December 12, 1979. It's a true recreation of history!
A few feelings: 1. The real history is far more wonderful than the screenwriter, and it is more convincing and meaningful.
2. The realization of democracy requires bloodshed to be realized, and it is tortuous and repetitive.
3. Willpower and connections are the keys to success. This is the key to Chun Doo-hwan's success. "One person can't do anything," this was said by Zheng Shenghe, chief of staff of the army and commander of martial law, when he persuaded Zhang Taiwan to take up the post of commander of the capital garrison. also explained the reason for their final failure!
4. Power and strongmen are indeed powerful, but in the end, they still have to give in to the will of the people, and in the end it is the people who have the final say!
Looking at the democratization process in Asian countries, the democratic process in Taiwan, China, is more successful than that of South Korea, and the cost is much smaller.
