To survive, China had to open up to the West. It could not survive otherwise. This was after many millions have died of hunger in a country that was like North Korea is today. Once we became part of global competition, we had to agree to some rules. It's painful, but we had to. Otherwise there was no way to survive. ↗

I fought in Korea, front line. I knew who the enemy were. The enemy were the people who were firing at me. And shooting at me. ↗

My father was criticized as a dictator, but that should not overshadow his accomplishments in restructuring the country. He brought Korea out of 5,000 years of poverty. What he left unaccomplished was democratization of the system. ↗

My father's biggest achievement was to motivate the South Korean people, to show them we could become prosperous if we worked hard. He taught me to love my country, and serve my country. ↗

National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering. ↗
