As the countdown for the ‘Day 1-Event’ began, all religious people and the politicians from different countries strode and marched altogether. It was extreme beauty for me seeing them appeared in harmony, and such transcendence of borders, religions, ethnicities, and genders for the world peace seemed to make it possible.
Soon after, an astounding performance has caught the eyes of every single people in the stadium. A card section performance was that amazement performed by 12,000 youths. Its unbelievably impact message was, though quite short, powerful enough to put everyone in recognition of the importance of the world peace during this generation. With its frame by frame message, the spectators came to know how helpless and powerless a government would be for the countless number of innocent sacrifices of youths in the crisis of wars. Those youths whose lives were supposed to bloom with talent and dream but ended to death are one of our families, friends and colleagues.
War must be terminated and ended and the completion and achievement of peace for all mankind must be taken in place.
Followed, congratulatory addresses of prominent figure guests instilled the genuine definition of peace in us. Then, beautiful performances, including 'Arirang', a Korean traditional folk song, were received much attention from the spectators in the stadium.
As for the last event, all the people in participation gathered and went around together in the field, singing ’88 Olympic Theme Song, ‘Hand in Hand’. Such harmonized and unified scene of them impressed and actually touch me deeply.
For the completion of peace, greed in people needs to be abandoned, mutual respect should be taken in place and all must be the put together in one purpose; peace. With this beautiful peace movement as a great and powerful tool, our dauntless courage and endless effort should be paid in order to achieve peace in ultimacy.
