To translate this,

In the long history of the world

only a few generation have been granted the role of defending freedom

in its hour of maximum danger

In other words, in the long history of the world

At times when freedom was in danger

Most people failed defending freedom and gave up on it.

This sentence explains this fact paradoxically.

Let's stop here.

- Here. - Okay.

Hey, how's your wife doing these days?

Same as usual.

When you were trying to quit your job, your wife came to my house.

I remember her making a big fuss, trying to make you stop quitting.

That was quite an incident.

Anyways, are you getting more students this month?

So so.

It's been three months already. Do you think it's right for you?

Don't have to be careful about things. So that's good.

Oh by the way, You know teacher Choi?

Teacher Choi?

Our class teacher when we were 5th grade.

Yes, but why?

He passed away yesterday. Won't you visit?

And you remember Um Seok- dae, the class leader then?

Um Seok- dae?

Yeah, he'll be coming too.

There's lots of rumors around him.

It's been already 30 years. But when I recall the autumn to winter at that time,

and the lonely and tough fight I had to go through,

I always feel lost and hopeless, just like before.

During the time when the Liberal party was in there full swing,

autumn of 1959.

I had to leave my prestigious elementary school in Seoul.

And transferred to a small school in the country side.

My father was a public official and was forced to move there,

So all our family had to move to the country side.

I was 12 at that time.

I was at 5th grade, an awkward period for me.

Take care.

Take care.

Yes.

Byung- tae, what's taking you so long?

How far is it?

We're almost there. Just a little left.

My legs are aching.

We're almost there. Let's go.

Damn.

It's only half the size of our school.

It's still the biggest around this town. Come quick.

Come quick.

Well, we're not getting paid for two months now.

Okay okay. I got that.

Vice principal Park Jong- hwan We can forget about the past.

If he has something to tell me, he can come over here himself.

What?

Stand up, dude.

Who are you?

I'm the PE leader. Why?

Hey, you're not listening to our class leader?

Doesn't mean that class leader can do everything.

Is there a rule where you have to go when he's calling?

You're a newcomer here. And you're not even willing to report to the leader?

What school are you from? Did you even have a class leader there?

Everybody back to your seats!

Is it that hard to come to me?

Were you smart at Seoul?

It's okay.

Teacher's coming.

Hey, Duk- won.

to just follow these manners..

Stop.
