Can you hear me, the miracle of tomorrow ringing in Paju - Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea
I look forward to the day when the bridge will run to the other side
Can you hear me, the miracle of tomorrow ringing in Paju
Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea
In June 1950, the ground rang with a loud bombardment. Han River, Imjin River, Gongneung Stream, and Munsan Stream. Paju, which was called “the village on the bank,” had many roads in Oga. Today, 68 years later, Paju, arising from the pain of a dog-legged bridge, is a space that contains happiness, such as a museum and a garden cafe, touching people's wounds and dreaming of a miracle tomorrow.
Drawing a unification on the broken bridge, Skywalk
31 December 1950. The steam locomotive of Gyeongui Line, heading from North to South, was shot at 1020 rounds and stopped at Jangdan Station. The train, which had since been left in the DMZ, was not moved to Imjingak in 2006.

The Dokgae Bridge, an old railroad line connecting the old Gyeongui Line connecting Uncheon-ri, Munsan-eup, Paju-si and Nosang-ri, Jangdan-myeon, was also destroyed by bombing. From 1953 to 1998 when the Unification Bridge was opened from 1953, when the armistice was restored to allow the captives to return to the armistice, Dokgae Bridge, which was the only channel connecting the north of the civilian ship and Panmunjom, was a symbol of tragedy and pain. .
Imjingak served as the embankment of South Korea during the Korean War.
How to soothe the wounds that Ching Ching has wound. In December 2016, the dog's legs were refurbished in hopes that the scab would sit on the wind and hope for the hope to come together. Using the remaining five piers, the skywalk “Tomorrow's Miracle Sound”, which is 105m long and 5m wide, reproduces the iron bridge before the war. The two-story structure consists of the past, present, and future sections. Anyone can stay on Skywalk located within the civilian access control line without restrictions during the viewing time.
I hope the miracle will sound again at the Paju Dogak Bridge
As if starting a journey, the past section of the Gyeongui Line steam locomotive carriage can be imagined as an urgent and fierce scene sitting on a chair in a room while viewing a black and white photograph of the situation. At a train station in Seoul, where everything is ruined, is the brother and sister in a black and white photograph looking for food by waving empty cans?
The past section that lets you start your time journey
If you step outside and step on the rail, you will see the current section of the wooden deck. You can observe the bottom of the bridge through a special glass on the floor.
Looking forward on the second floor of Skywalk, the end of the future section, North Korea can be seen through the red markers that indicate the bullet marks left during the Korean War on the pier and beyond.
The day before, even though the temperature was quite high, it snowed enough to accumulate overnight.
I wish tomorrow a miracle will sound
The sound of a train ringing a horn into the landscape across the river seems to be heard.
People who have made many wishes until the tree, which was a seedling, grew
Memories of the whole family, Korea Museum of Modern and Contemporary History
I visited the Museum of Modern and Contemporary History to learn more about Korea's modern and contemporary history by looking at the dog's legs.
Korea Museum of Modern and Contemporary History sent an invitation to time travel
Korea's 20th-century culture has undergone exceptional fluctuations. From 1910 to the 40's when Japan lost control, the 1950s had a painful 6/25 war. 'Let's live well' was from the 1970s to the 1980s, when people from all over the world joined together.
A museum that seems to have moved the entire village as it is.
In hopes of not forgetting those days for a long time, I moved over 70,000 pieces of various visual artifacts collected in 30 years to Heyri Village in 2005.
Difficult times when it was a wish to eat three meals
The Korean Museum of Modern and Contemporary History, which smells the smell of the past from the entrance, consists of one basement floor and three stories above the ground, and is the first museum of modern and contemporary history in Korea that reproduces a village of different eras for each floor.
Election posters that gathered the hardest
“I was hungry. Yesterday, the only thing I felt hungry the day before was that my only wish was to eat three full meals. ” The grandmother, who walked the streets of the 1960s at Pungmul Hall on the 1st basement floor, looks at the rice bowl and talks to her grandson.
Everyone has a memory that comes to mind
One bowl of spicy soup and two bottles of soju in two bowls of Seolleongtang. Even when I summed it all up, it was 990 won. The grandson grabs the hands of a grandmother whose eyes are reddened by the thought of working late into the night and feeding the envelope again to feed her a bite.
Warmth that can be felt only when delivered by hand
In the age of changing along the stairs, the dressmaker's dress, the mother's high school days, and the dad's school uniform pass. “Uh, I used to eat this often when I was in school! Wow, nice to meet you. ” Laughing flowers bloom on the faces of the Warr family in front of the grocery store. With a lighter mind, he steps toward the nearby 93 Museum.
Even hard times pass, it becomes a memory to laugh
Laughing flowers in full bloom with portrait painting and trick art, 93 Museum
The young man, who was eager to paint, divided his first salary of 3,000 won and bought a picture. The genre that was the cheapest at the time was portrait painting. After 15 years, the pictures were piled up, and there were several rare works that were rarely seen in Korea. The 93 Museum is a collection of over 1,000 pictures and the site of Paju.
Choi Je-woo, the founder of Donghak, learned from textbooks
The portraits that started to be collected are displayed on the 3rd floor under the theme of 'Kwannang', and the photographs of the famous Joseon parasites, including Choi Hae-woo, the founder of Donghak, greet with intense color as if restored.

Marilyn Monroe, which has a different body weight depending on the angle, and if you've been interested in going around in front of the picture you're wearing and taking off, it's time to enter the submarine exploration room and enjoy the painting in earnest.
Mysterious trick art that is part of the picture
On the breathtaking bridge, posing in the water overlooking the dark water, taking pictures of each other, I don't know how long it will take. If you have a commentator around you, be sure to hand over the camera. You can enjoy more realistic trick art from the skillful angles accumulated through numerous careers.
Depending on the angle, it can be expressed more realistically.
A sip of coffee in a handsome tree-filled garden, Soulwon
Time to finish the journey that has crossed the times and spaces. Let's settle down in a quiet garden café that sometimes filled our hearts. It takes about 10 minutes by car to reach Soulwon. Soulwon is made of bonsai, garden stones, and garden water collected for 20 years in hopes that the energy of purification given by plants will be transmitted and become a “garden full of laughter”.
Soulwon in a quiet landscape
Before looking around the garden, you lay down your heart in the rough comfort of a stone tower built with basalt. It is still chilly. Even in the season when spring is hard to find its place, bonsai in the greenhouse will soothe the sadness. As the day unfolds, the artificial waterfall also emits a stream of water.

If you combine the garden trees and bonsai here, you will reach 25,000.
Inside a warm greenhouse full of green
Trees that have seen their history and countless people coming and going around them in the same place for a long time. Chop the whole heart into trouble and hang it at the end of the peacock leaves, filling the empty heart with oak leaves.
The integrity of the tree makes fruit
As he listens to the thoughts of finding himself, the tree absorbs all those tears and embraces secrets to wipe out young leaves every year.
