Hello, I am a middle school student living in Seoul Korea and I'm 16 years old. My name is min ji Yu. I live happily with my parents and younger sister. You are a thankful person who let us live in Korea which is happy and beautiful. I’m writing this letter to appreciate your sacrifice that you’ve done during the Korean War. Today is the year marking the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. I was touched to see the remains of 147 South Korean soldiers returned to our homeland after 70 years on TV tonight. Many of your comrades must have been killed in the Korean War. So I looked up to the legendary warrior and you. How are you doing these days? 2020 has been a historically sad year for the whole world because of Corona-19 virus. How is your country? Our country has grown at a superhigh speed and has become the world best in many ways. You may be surprised to see the development of our country now. It is not a country that you can't live in anymore. It is doing a great job of K-quarantine, responding well to Corona 19 and coming to learn from other countries. But, I don't know when it'll be over. Students go to school for a few days a month and our parents work at home. We are doing social distancing and we should wear a mask outside. I stayed home all day and I was bored. I'm so depressed because I can't meet my friends and go travel. I've never imagined this horrible virus. I can't believe I can't go to school.. ㅠㅠ I've heard that other countries have more viruses and more confirmed cases, and I wonder how your country. I'm worried about you because older people have more symptoms. Please take care of yourself and stay healthy. These days, I learn a lot in history class. And I had a time to investigate and announced about the Korean War at school yesterday. The Korean War is a national tragedy for our people and divided our country into two halves to this day. My grandfather to have experienced this terrible war when he was young. But you are very great because you fought war for our country. I want to know about you and your country. Now, Korea is very peaceful and beautiful country. The President is also trying to bring peace and harmony between the two Koreas. If you visit our country after Corona 19 virus is over, I’d like to introduce to many beautiful places. For example, Lotte Tower, Gyeongbok Palace, Insadong, Hanok Village, Korea Folk Village, etc. Then, you will be satisfied to see developed Korea. My dream is to be a teacher. I want to study hard and teach students about the history of our country. When I grow up, I want to be someone who contributes to society like you. I will never forget your courage and accomplishments. I am honored to have the opportunity to write to you and I pray you are always healthy. Thank you for reading my letter and I hope you will always be happy. Sincerely Min-ji Yu
