I went to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall. When I go there, I saw the Independence Gate. I knew that it was modeled after 'Arch of Truimph' in Paris, but I didn't know that the gate was built in 1896. In addition, I also didn't know that the Arch of Truimph is much bigger than the gate. Frankly speaking, the prison was so boring and afraid. Especially, when I locked in the dark and narrow coffin cells, I felt like I was the patriot of sacrificing for our natiion.
I also saw the torture room. The torture room is the place in which Japanese tortured to our patriots. There are some dolls that explain the situations of torturing. They're horrible.
I also learned the meaning of Tae-guek-gi made by Gojong Imperor. In brief, the middle cycles mean wamen and men and yin and yang. The four marks 'Gun-Gon-Gam-Li' mean heaven, earth, moon, and sun and east, west, south, north etc.
Anyway, going to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall was the oppretunity of remembering our patriots' sprits that sacrifice for our nation again.
