Mexican could listen to Peace news _ Chairman Man Hee Lee received the Certificates of Appreciation and Medals from the Mayor Ramon Poo Gil



The history of human beings could be considered as the history of wars. It is so true that there has been all the time wars on the earth.
Especially, many countries were satisfied in the wars due to the colonialization in Europe in the seventeenth century.
Among them, Mexico became part of the Spanish colonial empire in the 16th century.
They were gone through terrible exploitation.
After independence, Mexico could not see any stable society because there has been all the time oversea wars, the dictatorial government, and illegality and corruption.



Then in the 21st century, Mexican could listen to Peace news which they have been longed for.
That is, the peace ambassador and activist, Mr. Man Hee Lee received the Certificates of Appreciation and Medals from the Mayor Ramon Poo Gil.
Politicians, city high ranking officials, religious leaders participated in the conferment ceremony, nd congratulated them with thunderous applause.
More than major broadcasting stations and journalists also flocked to report on it.
This news is great to people who have longed for peace.
Moreover Peace Leader Man Hee Lee has worked for peace traveling not only Mexico but also Europe, South Asia, America, and Africa.
I believe that Peace Leader Man Hee Lee and the Chairwoman, Ms Nam Hee Kim could achieve the world peace.
I would support them and their work paying attention to peace work.

"World Peace,” is it possible?



   Nelson Mandela, who moved many people's hearts by his thoughts and his achievements of peace, has passed away recently. I believe the events that honored his death were the result of many people's longing and hoping for "peace". The events were not just in memory of one person, but for peace in general. Everyone has wanted to make world peace, but I've wondered if it is possible. There are many peace activists in the world, and they have been doing peace movements in their own ways. Also, the Nobel Peace Prize, that recognizes peace activists for their efforts in creating peace, has been adjudged to many peace campaigners and leaders of human rights. However, despite their efforts, the world remains fundamentally the same.
   Even until now, wars have continued around the world, and many people have died. People’s beliefs and ideologies are too different to unite people. Also there are too many people who are busy trying to satisfy their selfish desires. With each person believing his or her ideology is correct, is it possible to unite them all with the ideology of peace? Is world peace realistically possible?

   There is one man who inspires my passion for peace. His achievements is stunningly impressive. The day I heard the news about the peace group, HWPL, I became interested in him. My first opinion about the possibility of world peace changed after seeing his achievements in various countries around the world. World peace is not just in our imagination, it’s something that can be done! Fascinatingly, wherever he went, the area was full of peace energy. Youth organizations and women’s organization that wish for world peace would also become energized. They would always want to join HWPL, and were always happy to help.
   His seminars for world peace are never dull or formulaic, they are very ground breaking to say the least! They are able to touch many souls. His great ability to gathered each individual’s thoughts towards peace is incredible. I’ve always felt that some power guided his peace movement whenever I saw his achievement.

 

   A few days ago, I read an article about a conference for world peace in New York. All participants at the conference expressed their gratitude towards his speech, Not only were there representatives of youth groups but also religious leaders from diffeent parts of the world. His speech created a sensation among the audience. It’s definite that he has the answer to achieving world peace! If you heard his speech, and felt his passion about world peace, you would definitely agree with me.

   He is a doer, not a talker. Representative Man Hee Lee has given me the greatest desire for World Peace. I now have a strong desire to join his organization and achieve world peace together. I believe it's possible to achieve world peace after viewing the results so far. His words about "World Peace" have struck my mind. After seeing his peace activities spread not only on a regional or national level, but at an international level, I believe that becoming 'one' is possible. His broad-mindedness helps him call together all religions, ideologies, countries and cultures from around the world. ‘World Peace’ is great to imagine, but it is even greater to believe that it is possible. I feel that it will be achieved soon.

At June 22, there was a peace seminar and a peace signing ceremony in the Christopher Columbus University and the University of Boca del Rio at Veracruz. In this event, the Vice-Chancellor of the Universitys, the professors and 500 students were participated and all them had a wanted one thing. The thing they want is having peace in their country and wanting to have peace in the world because of this the people hearing the words of Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee were happy and even cheered to his speech. After the seminar, many people wanted to follow the Mr. Lee and were happy to sign in. Some people said that because peace advocate Man Hee Lee came to Mexico, people who are tired of crimes and wars saw hope by Mr. Lee. This also moved me and making me wanting to help Mr. Lee more and more. I also wish and hope of peace in the world and I believe that peace will come only through peace advocate Man Hee Lee.

Eager to advance world peace




                                                                                                      source: yonhap news
    I have been working as a professional photographer in Santa Barbara. I have a dream that I want to express all joy of the world with photos ,so I have been accomplished it through the journey of the world . One of the most impressive experiences was to visit to Korea last year where had the most beautiful weather in May. While taking pictures in Olympic Park ,I found by chance a great number of people who were covered with many various colors. Many foreigners as well as Koreans , maybe about several ten thousand people were preparing something. They were all youths and they looked very active and bright like youths of my hometown. After some time,there was a great shout on the prepared stage.and then started walking campaign with a big joy. Their message in shouting was World Peace and not to forget dead youths as victims of war all around the world. They were youths to get together in order to keep World Peace. I felt their shouting fervent.I think the reason why their shouting is eager is because they have experienced deep sorrow which is divied in two.



I was so surprised when I heard peace advocate Man Hee Lee, the middle of this movement, there was him..
He is over his youth age, but his cry for peace was hotter than youth. I joined in his peace walk, and I could leave bright smile , joy of youth as photographs. while the walking many publics were joining and lots of traditional festival for each continent was very good. when I face Man Hee Lee's news from any kinds of media, I can remember the day that was gathering for peace.

His first sentence of the peace walk day, "who can against the world peace?" I try to answer with this question and work support with my local youth people. 
Thank you Mr. Man Hee Lee!

A peace agreement Philippines , Mindanao is in festival atmosphere!

In Mindanao, Philippines, 

they 're in festival atmosphere now!

Because they said that their long term civil war is finally overed and becoming of their new world. also their national broadcasting system made big report about that.
The population of Mindanao Island, Philippines has about 20 million people there and is a little bit smaller than South Korea.
Originally the Islam (Muslim)people of Philippine lived there long time ago...
But lots of Philippino Catholic (christians) moved to Mindanao, at the same time, the native people (Philippino Islam) outed from their land.. this is the original reason for long civil war which lasted over 40years.
Since early 1970, there were about 140-thousand (140,000) people who died because of this terrible war...
Our country had also same suffering as this case..so I felt it wasn't not other people's affairs... nobody knows that this kind of feeling even they didn't go through something which killed each other in same national people before...
Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee who led the signing a peace agreement.
Do you know that the person who led the signing a peace agreement is a korean peace advocate Man Hee Lee? he was the one who can make the peace agreement decisively!


We know there are Mandela, Nelson Rolihlahla , Thich Nhat Hanh ;Buddhist monk who worked for world peace but like this time, it is worthy of attention for everyone! Peace advocate Man Hee Lee completed world's big tasks. He left a significant mark in modern peace history.


Fernando R. Capalla, the archbishop of Mindanao, pleaded with Mr.Lee to help end the conflict of the island Mindanao.
During the arbitraion of the conflict Mr.Lee figured out the religious trouble is the main reason and met both of the religious leaders of Islamic and Catholic. As a result, the two religious leaders accepted the proposal of unifying religions and they came to an agreement to sign a peace treaty.
The next day of the event, the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which is the largest Islamic group, concluded final agreement and finally the forty years of religious conflict came to an end.
After the interview with Mr.Lee, the Philippine national broadcasting said that all the Philippines should appreciate the result of the peace agreement of Mindanao island. It's said that Philippine private broadcast ABC CBN news also widely covered the significance of the event.
I think this peace agreement must be the work that improved Korea's international status. And it's no wonder that the event surprised the entire world since the one peace advocate stopped the forty years of bloody conflict. Even Lamos, the former president of the Phillippines, expressed his appreciation for the arbitration and I'm very proud of the news as a Korean.

Our wish is to be reunified. I hope the day when both leaders of south and North Korea come to sign a peace agreement as soon as possible.

Let's sign the paper to end the wars_Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee






if you love your country and your people,

 let's sign the paper to end the wars.

 
The president of South africa noticed first that the light of the world peace is spreading out in Africa by Peace advocate Man Hee Lee. president of Ethiopia invited Peace advocate Man Hee Lee to the residential of president, Adisababa in the capital of Ethiopia.
Peace advocate asked to help the unification of korea. president of Ethiopia said that "I think if we really become one to be united, we can make peace.
by doing so when we gather all together to become one, didn't the peace make?
He promised to cooperate with Peace advocate Man Hee Lee.
Then they had deep conversation about what worlds' leaders work and effort are for making world peace in real.

The chairman Man Hee Lee has talked with the President of South Africa.As he had a talk with the President of Ethiopia, he said "if the war is broken out , the youth surely will fight and finally die .How can we give compensation for their death? If you really love your nation and your people , I hope you can sign on the peace agreement for ending war and world peace."
After listening to Man Hee Lee 's suggestion, the President was moved by Man Hee Lee's passion for world peace , "I deeply appreciate you for your visiting to our country and your working,and I really want to join with you and your working for peace by interchanging between us continually " replied he . Even though everyone,young and old ,man and woman ,has been eager for peace , the detail way to solve the problem that is the ending war and foundation of peace still remains unsolved task today. But "we find out Man Hee Lee ,advocate, has the only solution to come true a true peace into the world this era and he is an essential person for the world " agreed the Presidents of Africa.

International youth peace walking



 I have written this essay looking back on the international youth peace walking event I took part in. It was held in May last year,  Seoul. I can't forget the passion, enthusiasm that day. 

I was surprised that about 20,000 young people from 130 countries came to participate in this event in Seoul Olympic Stadium. Because I never thought that this kind of event was held in Korea. 

Even though they were different in race and nation, they walked together without distinction as to race hoping peace to come. That movement made me touched. I participated in that event with my Taiwanese friend who I met in Philippines. As he was travelling around Korea. Each continent's traditional dance was performed along the walking section. Especially, Oceanian Maori tribal dance was impressed on my memory the most. The dance was emphasized with their own traditional peculiarity.

Many people tried to settle various district disputes and end the war. But they have not been solved yet.
At this moment, the fact that many people have died through wars, breaks my heart so terribly.
As one of the ones that live in this era, I hope especially that North and South Korea unify with sincere hearts and peace. When the peace walk was held, the representative of the Youth Peace Group , Man Hee Lee announced the Peace  Declaration; I got tears in my eyes remembering those who were victims in the Korean War and the pictures related it. I remember that he appealed sincerely that we work together for peace, and I asked a man next to me who he was, and he answered that he was the advocate of peace.
 I have never seen anyone like him who has traveled all over the world to see various men like presidents and leaders of religion as well as other representatives advocates of peace. I have seen many people who work for peace, but it is the first time in my life to see him and I am so proud that he is Korean. I will ask him what his next plans for peace are if I have a chance to see him face to face.

photographer in santa barbara, Peace Walking Campaign


I have been working as a professional photographer in Santa Barbara. I have a dream that I want to express all joy of the world with photos ,so I have been accomplished it through the journey of the world .

Man Hee Lee peace advocate_brave and his leadership

Peace is good. If we listen to Beatle’s music, we become warm hearted and begin to think about peace. By the way, what is peace? My father was a soldier during the Korean War. He frequently drank alcohol and sadly often wept. It made me sad to see by father in this state. I was not a victim of the war but the destructive and deteriorating panorama of the War has been replayed on the television during special occasions such as Veteran's Day or Memorial Day. Wars remind us of death. Since childhood, not only me, but most Koreans grew up in this kind of atmosphere.



 But surprisingly, an international peace advocate has appeared in Korea. I have been following his activities.  He is brave and his leadership is very excellent. In him there is wisdom springing out. His name is Mr. Man Hee Lee.
 Mr. Man Hee Lee visited several hospitals and spent some time with the patients. Interaction between Mr. Man Hee Lee and the patients went beyond nation, race and religion.
And then he visited the prime minister’s hometown. The people held a festival which was held exclusively for the prime minister. For 2 weeks, they had practiced and prepared for this festival. All the people were delighted and danced together. It reminded me of a bird which is included in their national flag.
Many peace advocates argued and acted in the past. Some were even imprisoned. But they could not carry it out completely.
Mr. Man Hee Lee is over 80years old but has made tour around the earth 8 times. Isn’t it surprising?
Surely there is something special in him that has the ability to move the people's hearts.

World Peace

World Peace.  What comes to mind when you see these two words?
I asked a few people if they believed world peace was possible, and the majority of them just laughed.  It's something that everyone wants, but at the same time, it seems to be so far from the reality.  Whenever I turn on the TV or surf the web these days, I'm blown away by how many people...in hundreds, even thousands are killed everyday.  Most of these deaths are a result of religious and political differences.  There have been so many people throughout the course of history who have made countless efforts to bring peace.  But the sad reality is that the situation in our world today is only getting worse and worse.  Is it just me....or does our world seem to be getting more crazy and violent as time passes?  People seem to have lost their sense of morals.  Killing people.........has become an ordinary thing for some groups.  What happened?  And more importantly, it frightens me to think about what kind of world our future generations are going to live in.



Recently, a friend told me about a peace advocate from South Korea named Man Hee Lee.  Honestly, I didn't really think much about it when she first mentioned Mr. Lee.  There have been so many peace advocates in the world today.  "What makes him so special?", I thought.  Well, I was amazed. He has traveled around the world, I believe, 8 times already proclaiming the message of putting an end to all wars and asking religious and political leaders to sign an agreement for World Peace.  What's more shocking is the fact that he is in his mid 80s!  He's the same age as my grandmother.  Nevertheless, he has been traveling and meeting with presidents, prime ministers, religious leaders around the world.  Many people have talked about world peace, dreamed of world peace and maybe did some small activities to promote world peace. But Mr. Man Hee Lee seems to have this special aura and light that gives people confidence that he truly can make world peace into a reality.  It would be such an honor to have a chance to meet Mr. Man Hee Lee.  I would like to personally offer my gratitude to him for doing the work he does.  Thank you Mr. Man Hee Lee.

peace advocate Man Hee Lee has been doing a lot for World peace

Last year i went volunteering in Africa. Since then I had a lot of interest in Africa even after I returned to Korea. One day my friend who lives in Africa sent me an e-mail and I came to know some people. He asked me if l knew Man-hee Lee. I didn't know him. Man-hee Lee is a peace activist who actively promotes world peace all over the world. I was surprised to hear that he is Korean and that he is a person who has been doing a lot for World peace.


People desire world peace, but I think it is difficult to stop war and make it actually happen. Honestly, I didn't think there was anyone who can really make it come true.
Recently, I heard from a friend living in the Philippines that the religious conflict in Mindanao it been settled.
Man-hee Lee made great effort to bring peace to Mindanao. And I was taken aback when my friend thanked me for being Korean.  I had nothing to say because I didn't do anything to help.
Yes, there is a lot of love and happiness in the world but sadly because of wars there are also many people who live constantly in fear of losing their lives. We live unaware of that. It makes me feel uneasy whenever I think about the situation in the world today.  It makes me wonder, "What can I do for world peace?"

peace advocate Man Hee Lee_ His activities for World Peace



Recently, I felt very proud as a Korean because I heard some great news that  a peace advocate from Korea is making a peace agreement with leaders from all around the world.

 I got to know about some of his activities for world peace. He went to the conflict region himself, met the leaders and led the agreement of peace and ended the war.  He visited the president or the prime minister of many countries including disputed territories and delivered the Peace message touring the world eight times. He also provided the children with relief supplies and performed the peace walk to demonstrate  youth’s desire for World peace.

 I, as a person who has been touched by his peace activites and messages, decided to write this short essay.
 We know no person wants war and everybody wants a peaceful life. But there are still  many people who are dying from war despite the efforts of many peace advocates who have won the Nobel peace prize.   We all think the war must end up for our children's sake, but it ends at merely a thought.

 But peace advocate Man hee Lee is showing us the possibility of peace realization. I believe the leaders of the world will  change their own views and join Mr. Man Hee Lee to make a promise to end all wars. I am so thankful to Man hee Lee!

John Lennon's Lyrics "Imagine All the People Sharing All the World"



When I was young, I had joined in many demonstrations for the liberty, equality and peace. I thought these problems(lack of freedom, inequality) result from the social system and the capitalist society can not achieve peace, equality and even freedom. So I joined in left-wing organizations because I was convinced that socialism could be an alternative social system. And I dreamed of an ideal society where everyone can live peacefully having no borders and no possessions like John Lennon's lyrics “Imagine there's no heaven~ Imagine there's no countries~ No religion too~ Imagine no possessions~ imagine all the people sharing all the world"
At that time I realized that public opinion became so distorted and intolerant in regard to peace and justice because of influence of huge conservative media company. So I worked as report in an alternative media for a while to make people have more interest in these issues. However I could not sure that this society would be changed and I couldn't find clear answer about how to solve these problems. Eventually I came to a conclusion that all of my attempt was not a proper and essential solution to change world.
So I lost my fervor for the better world and I got a stable job for my own life. One day I chanced to read an article on someone's blog page that was about work of peace advocate Man Hee Lee. And I was so suprized to see his achievements that seemed to be truly hard to make as individual one. Then I was curious to know more about him. So I watched many Youtube videos showing his work. It showed globle peace walk and meeting with hightest class leader of foreign country for peace commitment. In that such amazing events, I confirmed so many young people gave cheers to him and many former and present presidents agreed with him and they positively joined in his activity.
Then I thought Mr Man Hee Lee is quite different person as a great man compared to the great names of past ages who had worked for only their own country's trouble or conflict between some countries. The reason why I thought like that is I found a certain method and possibility to achieve it in his word even if his aim for world peace looked like a farseeing plan. This below word of him is my evidence of conviction
"As emissaries of World Peace; as people who are working towards the restoration of humanity through a new and heavenly culture, we declare the following:
We call on the heads of state of every country to sign an international agreement – a commitment to bringing all wars to an end. We ask them to do this from a spirit of deep-seated love for the people of their country.
We call on all youth to unite in an effort to stop wars and pursue the restoration of peace by agreeing not to fight one another. For World Peace to become a reality this is the duty of all youth, everywhere. The only way to stop the fighting and pointless, tragic deaths, is to stop fighting. Nobody can ask for anything greater than this, and know now that your efforts – the efforts of the young people of the world today in pursuit of peace – will remain as a never fading light of life for all future generations."(A part of 'Declaration of World Peace')
Through his word I also realized that social system or physical conditions can not change our world and people' mind but if all the young people join in this peace activity and become one it is really possible to create a peaceful and righteous world. We have sincerely needed this great vision and substantial resolution. In conclusion I certainly keep in mind this word "our spirit rules over our thought and physical body" and I hope we have a same spirit of Mr Man Hee Lee that make us to participate to create a peaceful world and then we can eventually imagine a true heavenly world!

What action can I as an individual take for World Peace?

I have traveled to Europe (Italy, Turkey, China, )and several Asian countries since 2011.
My experiences in these countries have opened my mind and made me realize the need for peace, especially in war-torn countries.


I always think about world peace. What action can I as an individual take for world peace?
There have been many peace movements in history, people who have declared peace and gatherings, but the outcome of their efforts have always been short-lived.
I feel so sad about this. I have read about a novelist named Alfred Novel who invented a bomb which is known as the "dynamite."
Originally, this dynamite was not intended to be used as a weapon, but to be a benefit for humans.
About a year ago, I saw a video from a friend of mine who has great interest in peace.
It was a documentary about a man who has gone all around the world to speak about putting an end to wars and asking religious and political leaders to sign an agreement for world peace.
This man is known as Man-hee Lee, a peace advocate for the World.
I was amazed to hear that he was in his mid-80s.
He has done many great things for world peace. He has a special aura and ability to encourage influential leaders to sign an agreement for world peace
It is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen.
I would like to personally offer my gratitude to Mr. Man Hee Lee for doing the work that he does.

Peace advocate Man Hee Lee_ Peace Would Come True

Last year one day, bright and beautiful spring May, my close friend asked me to go out to take a walk. But interestingly she said we were going to a parade for Peace. "What? A parade for Peace? You are not saying a street demonstration?" I asked back to her. She laughed and told me back 'It is not serious mood but the issue could be serious though. You just come with me and enjoy it. There would be many great shows and many young people from many countries. You said you liked to make friends from abroad."
There was a crowd of people. Actually there were too many young people more than several thousand so I don't know how many. Among them, people were wearing face painting and bringing sings, quotes about peace. Some of them came in their uniforms, nurse, sports players, and solders. Some of them performed traditional dances of Indians, and some countries - I don't know very well. Anyway, it was rather exhilarating than serious.



The event got started. Many president or representative leaders from young people groups made their short speech or welcome message. One voice was very powerful and the message was strong but it was not from young one. I am too small so I had to step up in the crowd and look at the front. It was the voice of old gentleman looking like older than 70s. His name  Man Hee Lee.
On my way, I was told that he was actually 83 and a Korean war Veteran. Even though he is quite old and he does not earn money, he has been actively working for peace. I wondered why he did not enjoy his life at home or go to resort for vacation if he had lots of money because I liked to spend my old age on beach. At that day at home I read his message and mind on the internet. I could not help respecting him. He has served for Korea and world. What he advocates is no fight and no war crossover nation, race, languages, and religions, which is the same with other's point. However, he said "Let's love each other in the same way Mother Nature gives us all life free- Sun, Air and Rain. Wars have been existed all the time in all history. Only young men have sent to wars and satisfied before their lives become prosperous." He also said that if all of young men in the world decide not to fight, peace would come true. What a great idea!
When my guy friends and younger brother left home to military service for longer than two years, and separated families by Korean war, who could not meet each other for longer than 60 years in south Korea and north Korea sobbed at the union, I did realize Korea is the only divided nation in the world. That's why Korean people should do work harder for world peace. In that point of view, Mr. Man Hee Lee peace leader  seems to do his best for reunion of Korea and peaceful world in this generation.
Peace advocate Man Hee Lee is very humble and honest even though he has achieved so much things. He has invited and traveled in the world and met social, political, and religious leaders. Recent the peace agreement in an island, Philippine between Muslim and Catholic leaders was mediated by him.
I personally want young generation people to listen to his hearty story and talk and think what we should do for our nation and world!

What would you wish for this world?

If there is only one chance you can tell your wish, what would you wish for this world? Would you like to wish fortune, fame, or the technology for long life? For me, I would like to wish ‘peace’.

The whole world is being settled as a world-comprised organization, so- called ‘global village’.
Because of the globalization, all the events and competitions between countries such as Olympic, trade... take place more frequently
Therefore, socializing between people from different countries became natural these days. This is such a pleasant phenomenon. For the people in this world make the society of cooperation beyond their races, and nationalities.
However, we can also find many problems. There are many people suffer from famines, starving, and wars. The war of Cream and the territory dispute in Palestine are well-known cases. We can easily find them in media. We, Koreans, seem that we live in peace, we still have the possibility of breaking war between South and North. Even at this moment there are many peoples who are afraid of unpredictable wars come with all the pain and damages.
In that sense, I realized that our common daily lives would be special for someone who always lives in hazards of wars. I consider that everyone on this earth must have their rights to lead a happy life as other people have. Therefore, to accomplish peace is the most basic need for human being amongst all the matters. Many people who work for peace are just around us. Today, I would like to introduce a man who is Korean works for world peace.


Among those who work for peace, Mr. Man Hee Lee is the one I’d like to tell you. He is a peace advocate who takes an active part in international area for world peace. Man Hee Lee peace advocate has given many speeches every time he visits other countries like Europe, Southeast Asia and so on. He especially gives a speech on the importance of accomplishing peace.

Two of his representative activities are visiting Ethiopia to comfort the Korean War veteran, and the peace walking movements to aim at youth people in the world. He enthusiastically keeps contacting with the leaders from various organizations and tries to actualize the methods to fulfill the world peace. He takes signatures from leaders for agreement of world peace.
There is a lot of organizations aim for world peace. However, we still have no answer how we can actually drag the result out of it.

In Korea also, Mr. Man Hee Lee and the others work for peace. It simply isn’t seemed that big what they are doing. They are those who don’t pursue their own happiness but work for spreading the idea of the importance and the value of peace. I hope this earth would be filled with joys and pleasure with peace by many people participate peace movements. Therefore, our ‘global village’ would become ‘peace global village’ soon.

What is Peace? _ Man Hee Lee Peace advocate _



This age has been filled with back to back wars, leaving much of the world in a state of poverty. Everywhere we look, there are new reports of conflict, when will there be an end? When will we be able to hear of peace, a time without war; is peace only a distant dream? What is peace?
When I was young, I heard of peace, but I have yet to know it. When people speak of fighting, their eyes light up with excitement and they speak on the subject endlessly. When they speak of peace, the excitement in their eyes dim, and silence takes the place of their boundless words. I had believed that peace would only be gained once our souls rested in the grave, but there is now a person who has come to this world speaking of peace with such fierce, soulful passion that I no longer feel it is only a dream but is instead a plausible and even attainable reality. This advocate and staunch ally of peace is Mr. Man Hee Lee. He is an activist that has traveled all over the world from nation to nation, from America to Africa, from Korea to Europe, East to West, North to South and everywhere between promoting peace with a success few others have ever come close to achieving.


Through nonstop peace seminars and through international media outlets millions have heard his message – from the layman to the elite – and nearly all who have heard have been given a since of hope; for once peace may just have a chance. I have dreamt of peace, but without an end to war peace could never become reality. I thought war would always be a part of our future, but if there were to be someone that could shine the light of peace throughout the world – it would be our duty to meet this person and rally behind them. To everyone who desires peace, Mr. Man Hee Lee  has become our beacon; he has become the light shining through the strife of the world. Where he has planted the seed of peace, it is up to us to nurture and follow through to see it fully bloom. Peace on Earth – World peace – finally a road has been laid, we only have to drive it.

Man Hee Lee Peace advocate has worked for World Peace



I have always hoped peace in this era, so this good news makes me happy and interesting. I found out that ,Man Hee Lee who was peace advocate has worked for world peace such as giving relief goods to where help was needed including The Papua New Guinea , taking place peace walking ,keeping shouting at notables of world peace . These articles make me think that this world is still worthy to live and me be impressed.

“No WAR“ and “WORLD PEACE“




We are one and only divided nation in the world. Living in this country, have we ever thought about peace? Well, for most Koreans peace means just the state without military collision against North Korea. Then what is world peace to us? There are numerous disputes and wars going on, we don‘t really feel related to those except for the moment when we hear of it from news. Call me ignorant, yet at least I was that kind of person. One day, I bumped into a bunch of people crying out for “No WAR“ and “WORLD PEACE“. Who are they and how come they are doing it? It came as a refreshing jolt to me who has never thought about doing something for world peace. And there was an old man proclaiming “World Peace!“. Although in distance, I could see him standing firm in his belief, feeling that he was gathering up all the youth. Wondering who he is, I asked someone about him. “Man Hee Lee“, an advocate of world peace. I haven‘t heard of him, but his powerful voice and assertive face didn‘t go away in my mind. Looking him up, I found out how great are the works he has done overseas. He has met many presidents, politicians, religious leaders as an individual not even a representative of a nation. What he does is simple. He persuades them with the element for world peace he has got and draw an agreement to world peace, which is needed for sure, yet no one has ever been able to do. He even mediated the peace treaty in Mindanao. That is an island I cared about since one of my best friends lives there being war-battered. He brought peace to my friend and Mindanao! I could never thank more to him. At the moment I realized peace is a matter of life and death of my friend or my family, not someone I never know. The better thing he got me is I started to care about peace thanks to him. His philosophy is simple. Who doesn‘t want peace? When we are enlightened and become the potential peace makers, including me, we can have a voice to the whole world.   A fog cannot be dispelled with a fan. Yet, once a myriad of fans are gathered, a for will disappear. Let‘s believe in ourselves. We can be the peace makers with him!

The cruel Korea Peninsula....Hope for a peace


The cruel Korea Peninsula....
Hope for a peace


Nowadays, the Korean Peninsula has become a tight political situation.
A few days ago, The south korea president, Park Geun-hye visited at Dresden in Germany for the conference of security of nuclear.
She announced the declaration of Dresden and suggested the vision concerning for the unification of peace.

However, after that day, not passed many days, the will of the government seemed founder because of the continuous unforeseen accidents from North Korea. The worries for the experiment of the nuclear weapons, the determination of the revenge of Yeon-Pyeong island, Training for a surprising attack Northern Limit Line, etc. Now that all those threatening elements, the issue of the Korea Peninsula is reissued.

Korea Peninsula suffered from the Korean War and It was a international war which 25 countries were participated in.
This war was a too serious war that The administration, Truman even worried that it might be spreaded into the third international war. And. even now after 65 years, it still remain the state of the truce so there is always a potential threat that is very connected to the world peace.
However, this still remains as the state that in the political worlds , social studies, academia and citizens no one gives an exact answer. And it seems never ending.



However, in this difficult situation, there is a man who longs for the world peace and runs as a peace activist.
This man is just the representative named  Mr. MAN HEE LEE  Peace advocate and he joined the Korean war spent his  youth on the front line troops. He really hope there is no war anymore in any places.
That is why he has been announcing the preciousness of the peace and let all people know their each  mission for a peace by going around all the nations though he is 84 years old.

Also, he has been meeting eminent persons from various circles and carry the message that please take part in bringing the peace in all the nations for all people and do not just seek for your own profit anymore and a lot of eminent persons from various circles agreed.
The fulfillment of the world peace that no one fulfilled so far.


In the world , now so many want to learn the pure passion and
pay attention on him, Mr. MAN HEE LEE.

We hope in Korea Peninsula also fulfill the peace and unite finally.
