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!

I would like to wish 'PEACE' !
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.
Manhee 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. He 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.

Do you know There was the Peace Agreement in Mindano, Philippines?
The peace agreement in Mindanao, Philippines, a Korean did!
Do you know the Mindanao Island in Philippines?
The Mindanao Island is located in southern of Philippines, a region which 5% of Muslim, called ““Moro””, lives in and there are 85% of Catholic people live in Philippines.
There has been long history of religious conflict between Catholics and Muslims for 40 years until now from 1968, because of a struggle for independence of Muslims.
The conflict has killed 150,000 victims.
But in this conflict area, a spark of peace is begun finally.
On January 24, the representatives of Catholicism and Islam united to sign the peace agreement for ending the war and achieving World Peace.
Have you noticed that a Korean led the peace agreement?
The peace advocate Manhee Lee made the religious leaders sign the peace agreement after peace walk.
Although this agreement is made by non-governmental power, it affects the Philippines government to admit autonomy of Islam in Mindanao.
Moro Islamic Liberation front must be gradually a catalytic of agreement that means disarmament.
How can they sign peace negotiations?
Manhee Lee, peace leader said that he found main reason of the conflict, Mindanao Island religious conflict so he persuaded the religious leaders.
Ramos ex-president said that Manhee Lee accomplished what hi himself couldn’t do for peace of Mindanao.
After this agreement, Manhee Lee was invited to a government-run broadcasting station PTV and many the press and have told this news.
Peace News from Philippines!
We are proud of Manhee Lee as a Korean.
Everyone has hoped peace and had peace campaigns but the people don’t know how.
We wonder he who knows the way to make a peace will do ahead.

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.

lyrics of Imagine, the bestseller music sung by John Lennon
Imagine that everyone can live peaceful lives. no one doesn't need to kill somebody in war, and don't need to be died due to war. there is no need to have religion, private property.
It's a part of lyrics of Imagine, the bestseller music sung by John Lennon. He is a peace-loving antiwar activist, who tried to express the peace in his songs. His songs are known as a peace symbol.
A world free from possession, greed, and hunger. How wonderful it would be if there exists that world! Amazingly, there is a peace activist who makes utmost effort for that world. It is Man Hee Lee. He is 83 years old but nevertheless he has been trying to save the global village howling in wars, hunger, and darkness and touring around the world for years . Even without a personal life!
This peace advocate, Man Hee Lee, has been touring the world many times and calling for "Only peace! We are the one!". And I really expected his move! If more people of like his minds join and join, doesn't the peace come that has no more terrible and cruel wars, a gap between rich and poor, suffering, and tears?
Even though I can't run together with him, I should cheer up the peace advocate Man Hee Lee in my mind.

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!

The World Peace can be Realized _ Man Hee Lee peace advocate
While I was applying for joining the army in April 2014, I became think that why I had to go to the army. That led me have interests on Army all over the world. Some countries did not have a liability for military service, others had a long period of military service. There were countries where even children got involved in military drill. I had never experienced in war. Since South Korea is peaceful, I thought other countries were also calm.
As the time for me to go to the army was coming, I got to think that North Korea was not the safe place from war. If the war breaks out in Korea, young people will meet their death in the war like other youth. What a tragedy!
There were so many people in Seoul Olympic stadium in May 2013. My friends and I went there thinking famous stars would perform. But it was a movement for peace walking. At first I didn't think those kinds of movement was useful to change each person's mind and end the world war. However while I was walking with them, I felt some energies that was not explained. I realized that many people wished peace to come. I examined myself who lived for only me not peace.
During I searched for the obligatory period for military service of each country, I found Man Hee Lee who was well known for a peace advocate. I searched for him more, because I wanted to know him better. Through the research on him, I have known about the world peace a lot. I think the peace event I saw last year gave me a chance to think about peace.
"So many people cry out for the peace, but peace doesn't come true. Not just thinking but we should put thoughts into real action for the peace, then the world peace can be realized." Man Hee Lee said.
Everyone wants peace but they are busy managing only their lives. I am so proud of having a peace advocate Man Hee Lee in Korea in this day and age. From now on, I will be a person who concerns about making world peaceful without war and the world where everyone love each other. Like a peace advocate Man Hee Lee's words, even if we make each person's own only one way to practice world peace, the world peace will be completed already from our mind.

Do we really take action for WORLD PEACE?
Many leaders in the world try to find a lasting solution to the problems that beset our planet but so far, peace on earth has continued to be thought as an impposible dream. Anyone can shout out the word 'World Peace' itself but no one seems to be able to keep struggling to achieve real peace on earth and implanting awareness into people's mind all over the world. To be honest it seems like a lonely path and such a long way to go!
Wars, murders, conflicts among nations, we think those perennial evens should be stopped. However do we really take action for that? I think people just sit there and live their life.
There are many movements, conferences and fraternities all over the world that promotes the idea of world peace but no one has yet came up with a solid answer to the question.
In this situation, however, when I came across the news about a Korean peace advocate Man Hee Lee, who is the age of 84, led to put an end the forty-year-arduous conflict of Mindanao island in the Philippines and had both religious leaders from the disputed area sign a peace agreement.
The article said that the number of deaths from the war in Mindanao island is almost 14 thousand for the past 40 years. It also said when the advocate came to the island, it was very explosive situation and anyone was not able to cease the tragic history even religious leaders or the U.N.
I've never heard about this man until I read the article however he's actually been working for peace not only just in Korea but for many nations in the world for a long time. He placed a stone monument and wrote a message about unification of Korea on it. Also he held the National Liberation Day Celebrations inviting War veterans that is he was one of them. Not only that he's been visiting many countries to meet politicians, presidents and religious leaders to promote the spirit of world peace and finally to lead them sign peace agreement on never fighting one another. What a great man! I'd like to give him a big hand to his great and constant effort.
I think I was so indifferent to world peace and even the situation of the division of Korea into north and south. However this 84-year-old peace advocate Man Hee Lee never forgets the pain and sufferings through Korean War. I wish his great and noble effort for world peace will be fulfulled in this era so that we could pass the peaceful world down to future generation hopefully forever.

Let us love one another like light, rain, and air _ Man Hee Lee Peace advocate
The Peace Advocate Man Hee Lee
The first time when I heard about this man was the last year at Seoul Olympic Park. I was in a taxi and the cars seemed that they are never going to move forward. I was stuck there and the driver said ‘ Something,in the park, is going on. That is why here we have a traffic jam.’ Just a few minutes after,I could see a huge number of people were walking along the road.
I decided to get out of the taxi and kept looking at them and what they were holding. They were signs written about ‘Peace’.
It was kind of so much unusual happening, the walking festival for world peace in Korea?
There were not only Korean young people but also many foreigners.
I got so curious who would organize this kind of good work. I asked people where they come from and I could know that they are all from the universities and from certain youth clubs. Then who tied these people all together?
When I had got home I searched the Internet and found the one who has done all the work. His name was ‘Man Hee Lee’ and he was Korean. I would never even imagine that there would be a man who can do this work in Korea. I could find some messages he had told about peace on the webpages.
He said,
Anybody can easily say that ‘Peace’ is good. But there have not been many people who can actually carry out the work of peace and make it into reality. But it is the time we must do this work. Let us love one another like light, rain, and air. Because they come from the sky for free for anyone.
Every word he had said was just stuck in my mind and moved my heart. Because I was the one who have been feeling guilty with not helping other people who are suffering from wars and disasters. I even made a film about that. But it was not easy. ForI was always busy with my own business.
Haven’t I been so selfish? I was born in Korea where there is no big problem with food, etc… I guess everyone might feel in the same way as I did.
I am interested in what he is doing now.
I am looking forward to what will be the next work he is going to do.
Next time, I would not just look at it but participate for all the precious works.
A song which has deep sorrow
Have you ever heard about the dispersed families of the Korean peninsula?
I watched a TV program which is famous audition (select some reserve pop stars), and there was an old lady who sang a song that has heartbroken story...about separated family in Korea... her husband lies in his sickbed now and when he was young, he lived in North Korea with his family but after the Korea civil war, he just escaped from the north immediately alone ,his parents sent him to south Korea first avoid the terrible war... but after his family missed the proper time and couldn't come to South Korea.. since then, he has been in deep grief. I guess if you are a Korean you can understand of their sorrow only a little bit. since the time went fast and nowadays, even in young generation of Korean didn't know about the dispersed families exactly.. we just heard about their story sometimes.. and when I heard the song ,I and my mother moistened at our eyes...
but the other world people even don't know about this story at all..
You have never heard that word, if you aren't Korean. bur for Koreans, it is common vocabulary though.. because Korean peninsula is the only land separated.. and also it's very sad that family can't live with their family.
so we, Korean , know this sorrow and hope to never happen this kind of horrible thing ever again . and it needs very big power to overcome it. and normal people can't do such works , even some countries' governments can't do those works. I know they tried but it doesn't have real effect and I heard some good news from my foreign friends from abroad that there is a peace advocate he was welcomed by the country's youth very much when he entered LA international airport. he is Korean, actually I never heard about his name ... his name is Man Hee Lee, peace advocate. I was curious about that situation in LA, I din't know the peace advocate's name, and the foreigners knew him and he and I are same Koreans...isn't it funny? he is amazing! he went here and there around the world several times to make peace .. he is over 80 years old...oh my god......I can't believe his age.. and he made such real acting that reached peace in reality.. he has been some eastsouth asia countries already.. and something real peace happend there...that was wonderful..! I can see the light from him!

WHO (the World Health Organization), peaceful organization promoting for international cooperation and everyone's health.
WHO is established by every country because of the effect that people's health can be the basic power of world peace and safety.
Not only this WHO but the organization of World Confederation express that all the world should help each other for peace.
At the same time, there is an 'Alliance for peace movement'.
In Alliance for peace movement, usually develops new form of peace model or plan to vatiety of things for unity of public, researching problem for unification.
Besides each country has their own cultures and through them, they have the time for praying peace and unification.
Like above, lots of organizations and their efforts did such things , but why the world is still not peaceful...?
There are many people who won the Nobel prize for peace , but why the peace didn't come to our world? we have to figure it out... seriously!
Everyone wants peace but not that many people didn't work for peace in reality.
I am a person who wants peace but
I felt ashamed that I have never acted for real peace..
However, I learned that there is one person who spread peaceful message for everyone and he works without sparing himself.
Even though He is in his eighty's, he criss-crosses the entire world only for world peace with practical movement.
Peace advocate Man Hee Lee makes Peace Forum, conversation with the president of every country with his two feet.
We should emulate his effort and spirit, not with only speaking. we have to do something for peace and wish its coming very soon.
