To Planck on life,
It puts abrupt,
Everywhere is in time,
And life risks.
It is not necessary to surrender,
And only forward,
Business of the Lucky beggar,
Never will die!!!
When that it is necessary to bring the results. Neither I the first, nor I last. Before me a sheet of paper and a feather. To whom that, my records, reflexions will seem naive, to whom that probably strange. All of us people different, and as they say – on taste and colour of friends are not present.
The childhood.
The govemor Меn Кu Rе
I was born in Korea on December, 26th, 1927 in village we Litter, and on a lunar calendar of the Korean chronology in Sangun 4260 years on November, 26th to the address: a province of Phen An Bukdo, district Enbengun, volost we Litter Men, Dyng San Dang site, the house number 877 in a family of the official of city administration, the father as was the landowner – the land owner. Mother the housewife.
In this settlement almost all inhabitants carried a surname Men, therefore all it named Men the Tub, i.e. settlement Men.
Year of birth of the father 1896, on August, 29th, mothers 1897, on August, 9th.
Our surname Men on China is said Min, on Japanese Mej. The word designates it – the sun – the moon. Value of this hieroglyph-pure, perspicacious, wise.
From the childhood me learnt: «Where your Native land»?
On Korean sounds: «But the check and мu a se kar».
I answered: «The Check in sechek it that», i.e. my Native land is called as Sechek.
Now we will glance in depth of centuries. In 1271 the Mongolian conquerors have subdued China, have imposed with its unreasonable tribute. Their yoke proceeded more than hundred years. As a result of the revolt of Red armies organised by Secret sect of Bajljan Tszjao, aggressors have been turned out from China. The dynasty of Min which corrected with 1368 for 1644 has been based. The empire Min has softened at the beginning operation of peasants and has managed to unite isolated princedoms. To the period with 1405 for 1433 it has been spent seven sea expeditions led by Chzhan He. Trade with the West-has begun Portugal, Spain, Holland. In second half sixteenth century there has arrived expedition of missionaries of Jesuits. Communication with Russia has been adjusted in 1618.
At a dynasty of Min roughly develops silk manufacture and cotton manufactures, metallurgical manufacture. In the beginning of the seventeenth century the empire Min endures deep crisis. Class contradictions have become aggravated. The become impoverished peasants have begun war against the emperor. After overthrow by one of the centres of adherents of a dynasty there was a monastery in a Shaolin which reduced to ashes twice. Our ancestor has got over to Korea and has located in district we Litter. According to the metrics received in China, I am the descendant of the emperor of a dynasty of Min in the twenty seventh knee. Last representatives of a dynasty ослабли, as a result of decomposition, cruelly maintaining the people, have lost the power. But as a whole the merit of a dynasty of Min is obvious in development of China and the world community of that time.
Therefore I rejoice the name and spirit of the emperor as the poet has told, in me is very strong.
The house in which I was born, has been constructed till 1910 of oak columns and covered by a slate tile. All manor consisted of four buildings. The house in which we lived from four rooms and kitchen. Just the same house for servants. The third house with a verandah and a penthouse and a banquet room served for reception of visitors. On distance of fifty metres from our house there was a structure in which warehouse, a toilet and a stable settled down.
All ensemble was-an equipotential rectangle-a square in which there was a platform – a court yard on which it was possible to play in football. The manor has been fenced by the stone fence covered with a tile. In a fence was available three collars. All ground area from the house to a fence has been set by fruit trees. All cultures Here grew: apple-trees, pears, plums, cherries, a strawberry and so forth Since May from a strawberry and finishing the end of October-a pear, my mouth did not know a respite. We with the average brother Nad Din ate all fruit with the great pleasure.
Behind the house a hill with high old pines. Between trees a swing in height of ten metres on which we occasionally shook.
On slopes wild apricots and peaches, east nut grew.
Our ancestors were based upon this hill. On their tombs the big monuments with hieroglyphs have been established. And before tombs the big stone table for sacrifices has been established. On it in parental day put entertainments for ancestors. As on a hill, I remember, there were ancient stone statues.
From the house on the east huge rice plantations were stretched. In small ponds and lakes fish got divorced. The area of farmland made about three hundred sixty hectares.
In several kilometres from plantations proceeds in the half-kilometre river Ku Ryon Gang in width. The river of nine dragons. The legend says that when that of this river nine dragons have taken off for the sky. Behind the river high rocky mountains the Yak the Dignity that is translated, as medicinal, curative mountain at once rise. On its slopes medicinal grasses, including a ginseng grow many. A life root. Besides here many Buddhist temples. The described places are very beautiful and exotic, and involves here tourists from every corner of the globe.
I consider that to me have strongly carried that was born and have lived till sixteen years in this unique district. The healthy climate, a natural food, have strengthened my health on all life that in a consequence has helped to overcome many difficulties and heartrending experiences.
My grandfather and the father lived very richly. It they are obliged to my great-grandfather Men Ku Re. It held a post of the governor of the North Korea. A province of Phe Nan Do. It is clear that it was very influential person and all admired it. By estimations of contemporaries it was strict and fair, in this connection has got honour and respect in all social classes.
When I was still small, it often came to our house, put me on knees, ironed and told fairy tales or that be instructive. It was the second person as my mum which caressed me, gently pulled out on a head. I think that the emanations of the strong person, it strengthened my will.
It is necessary to tell that in families of children of noble family brought up in Spartan style. I do not remember, what the grandfather or the father when be took me for a hand. Anybody never joked. In a family of our servants the laughter was always audible. Jokes were at the slightest pretext released. And I very strongly envied them.
In 1931 to me there was a fifth year when the great-grandfather has died.
Ten days went a never-ending stream people for farewell to it. To Lineal descendants, and it about hundred persons, black suits of Be by It the Dignity and headdresses of Be to you Dhu who carried three years have been sewed. Suits put on for parental day. The funeral procession was grandiose, in it have taken part about five hundred persons. People bore set of banners with an inscription Men Kure Mae Se. The coffin has been covered by a black varnish and had the huge sizes. In the length about five metres. On a cover the dragons, different animals and terrible devils are cut out. The coffin was born by twelve persons. Ahead of a procession there was a person in a mask and scattered coins. Then there were people with banners May Se. Behind a coffin relatives and other.
So I have waited a funeral favourite the great-grandfather. Its image
Has remained in my memory on all life.
Now I will tell about a case in which result I have not died nearly. To tell was in a condition of clinical death more truly, but the foresight has rescued me. Business was so. To me was four years, and I have had been ill with measles. As a result of complication it is strong ослаб, and the state of health continued to worsen. I was examined by my native uncle Men Ke Sik. It worked the doctor also had private clinic. After survey it has made the conclusion that the medicine is powerless against this illness. Also has left. Illness continued to progress, I have fainted, and at me heart has stopped.
Buddhist temple
Mother in an inconsolable grief sat over me and loudly sobbed. At this time by our house there passed the wandering monk-lama. He has heard crying and has come into the house. After survey he has agreed to help. Has got from the bag a bunch what that grasses, has curtailed it into a match, has set fire and has made cauterisation on a stomach. This procedure has not given result. Then it has made cauterisation on area of heart and has slapped me on a breast. I have made a breath and have opened eyes. The monk has told that I will long live, and I will never suffer a heart disease and stomach diseases. It is more when did not meet to me in life. God has sent it in time what to save my life.
Cauterisations were so strong that scars from them have remained on all life. On the left breast the nipple, instead of it has completely burnt down an equal place.
The average brother Nad Den has gone to the first class and I ran behind it in school. Has started to demand, that me, the same have sent for study. When mother was tired me to persuade, took and has spanked in a soft place.
All the summer long I played with country children. Left in the morning in one shorts, came back in the evening all dirty, suntanned. Sometimes we left in the city of Phal Van for five kilometres where there was a market.
In 1933 to me the sixth year has gone. Once the father, having returned from service, has planted me nearby and has told: «The Sonny! The next year you will go to school and now it is necessary to begin already preparation»!
Has put before me the collection of thousand hieroglyphs «Chen Za Moon».
Employment at us passed every evening. I automatically repeated a pronunciation for the father. Fulfilled phonetics.
Mother did not know hieroglyphs. At that time women were not authorised to study hieroglyphs. She knew the Korean writing and spoke on Japaneze a little.
With Mother
In April, 1934 the father has left service and has bought the house in the district city of Enben as in it educational institutions have concentrated. The big brother No Hyp has arrived in a grammar school, and me the next year in school. We have lodged to the address: a province of Phen An Bukdo, district Enben gun, the city of Enben of Si, a site With Bu Dong N 165. The house stood on a carriageway, therefore in it was noisy.
The father has left public service, has concentrated on a country economy, began to expand it. Affairs at it went well. He was engaged in maintenance with seeds, stock, fertilizers, production sale as solved problems of the workers.
In the autumn, after harvesting, it suited a holiday on which all congratulated. Seventy percent of grain were received by the peasants, thirty percent were taken away by the landowner.
At children’s age I did not reflect yet on a social inequality, but saw that country families live modestly. And when peasants invited me to have dinner together with them, I always hesitated.
As I spoke, in the house in which we have lodged, was noisy, and the father has made decision to construct the house on more, and far away from a highway.
In seven months we have celebrated house warming, and on first of April at me new life has begun. I have gone to the first class. My pleasure was not a limit. I exulted. The desire to study was huge. And here, on the end I at school. In a class was fifty pupils, from them twelve girls. From the sixth class us have divided. Under laws of that time till twenty years it was forbidden to meet girls, to take alcohol, it was forbidden to smoke. Only work and study. The first period has finished well, only is «not satisfactory» on arithmetics. Has brought the sheet on progress for the signature to the father. He has looked an amazed look and has told: «That it for marks, best our boy? So you can remain in the first class for the second year. A shame»!
It is necessary to tell that it never beat me and did not abuse.
During this first period of study nobody supervised me, and full independence has been given me. After conversation with the father I have reflected and have laid down the aim till the end of an academic year to learn arifmetics and to receive a mark not below eight-ten five points on hundred ball scale.
Teachers at school all were Japanese, and all of us have quickly learnt to write and talk on Japaneze. To pupils was not neither what pity, nor what indulgence. That has deserved, receive. «Make always that is necessary, instead of that would be desirable»! We then only sang military and mid-flight songs-kunka. Any fashionable, modern popular songs.
Running forward, I want to tell that already at mature age, communicating with Koreans, we have unanimously come to a conclusion that for thirty five years that Japan operated Korea, have not passed for nothing for Koreans. Japanese have imparted to our people discipline, accuracy, punctuality and other business qualities.
I have finished the first class without three. Has been awarded for good behaviour, for absence of admissions of employment, and delay on lessons.
With parents and relatives
In the second class I began to study is better. Has occurred especial nothing, and I have passed in the third class.
From the beginning of academic year with us the class teacher in that the Sensei began to be engaged. To it was about forty five years. Very strict. For disobedience, for bad study, yes if who that came to a class not washed or with a dirty under collar on jacket all were waited by punishment.
From-for one sloven punished all. We laid down the left hand a palm up. It passed on numbers and beat плеткой once. Happened very painfully. We did not love it for cruelty.
On seventh of June has begun Japanese-Chinese war. Japanese have planned it for a long time. In 1900 Japan has acquired the right to hold in Beijing for protection of embassy a contingent of armies in number of seven thousand persons. On the night of June, seventh Japanese have begun maneuvers and declared that the Japanese soldier has disappeared. Ostensibly he was killed by China.
This war Japanese named the Chinese event of Si On Zi Hen as the emperor war did not declare.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs Tsu Oka in iridescent tones has explained to the world the reason of events.
«China and Japan two brothers who have inherited the big house under the name East Asia. The malicious destiny has thrown them in a poverty chasm. The big brother has appeared the idler and a fool, and younger lean, but with firm character and ambitious. Indefatigably dreaming what to return glory to the old house. It traded in newspapers in the street, worked much what to contain the house. The senior wasted savings younger and betrayed to its general enemy. Younger has blazed with anger and has given a dressing-down to the senior. Trying to hammer into it sense of shame and to clear pride of noble traditions of the Great house. After many skirmishes the younger brother at last was going to enter solving fight and here this fight now and occurs in Northern China and on the Shanghai front».
At school as have explained that this war not aggressive, and is conducted not to admit West intervention on purpose. And in the further establishment of world peace. In the head of the government there was a prime minister-minister Konoe This With, the governor in Korea Min Miso Doku. Those years it often broadcast.
In the middle of July already young Japanese have started to leave on front. We saw off them, waving small tags of Hi But Maru Hada. Sang military songs kunka.
Slogans, posters said that Japan, Korea, Manchzhuriya-the uniform country, the uniform nation, uniform spirit, a uniform body. The Korean conversation it is possible to hear only houses. Birth certificates and other documents only on the Japanese. A surname, a name at Koreans from three letters, at Japanese from four. Thus, I became Ahimura Hideo. I any more Men No Dzhen.
After Russian-Japanese war Korea was under protectorate of Japan. In 1907 has been dismissed Korean to armies, in 1910 Japan annexed Korea. For thirty five years of a Japanese yoke attempts to expel Japanese were some times undertaken. But struggle for independence came to an end with defeat.
August, eighth, 1937 in Beijing grandiose parade of Japanese armies has taken place. And on thirteenth of December Nanking, Shanghai, Kantan have fallen. At falling of big cities solemn torch processions till midnight in which we children took part with the great pleasure were by all means spent.
When grammar-school boys, schoolboys in the form, in a system, it is impossible to distinguish, who you the Korean or the Japanese.
From the third class I began to study on excellent. My drawing hung at the school stand, and compositions were printed in the collection of school messages.
Japanese teachers all were strict and exacting. As now I remember their surnames: It is given To Tsineo the sensei, Pani the sensei Grazed, Jamagutchi the sensei.
At school very much the great attention was given to sports preparation, Games were arranged. Often us drove in backpackings.
Besides school I visited church. I want to tell some words about religion in our family. Mum was buddhist, the father and the big brother did not belong to any religion. They were followers Konfuciy. And mum drove me in Christian church. Should tell that church spiritual education has played the big positive role in my life.
As I spoke, at me never was money, and I envied children who played games with coins. Once I have unlocked fathers the safe and took from it one rouble. It would suffice me for a long time. Has gone out of doors. Whence do not undertake, the cloud has flown. Also the thunder was distributed. I have thought that it is God have seen my offence and have become angry. Has headlong run home and has put money back. Has sworn to itself that such more never will repeat.
In August, 1938 by radio have transferred about danger which proceeds from the USSR. About events on lake Hasan. As though incident was imposed by Russian. Losses of Japanese not the considerable.
Then there was a collision on Halkin Goal. In this incident the Japanese army has suffered shattering defeat. Losses huge, it is killed fifty five thousand soldiers.
After the fifth class us carry on excursion to Seoul. Though I also happened there earlier to parents, but with schoolmates is more cheerful. From-for wars the trip to Tokyo is cancelled, and we go to capital of Korea.
The city is beautiful, especially in the evening. All on fires. Products and a delicacy a large quantity. Everything that is in the world, here is.
High school student 1944
We sing a song:
In twilight the prospectus Dzhong Lo,
Decline red,
The sun is sad.
Tenderly embraces favourite blossoming Seoul,
Prompt dream it is sad leaves,
These are pity female tears,
The person is fine. But it is time my favourite to leave.
The message that the USSR and Germany have halved Poland has come. In the newspaper the caricature is published. On it the communist from the North, and the fascist from the South a knife cut a meat piece. On meat an inscription-Poland.
This damned war. From-for it life has developed difficult and strained.
