On October 26, the fifth and thirteenth president of the Republic of Korea, Roh Tae-woo, passed away, and the death of the long-departed former president once again triggered the memories of a period of drastic changes in South Korea and even the world, and also filled the controversial life of the initiator of the "curse" of the Korean president's downfall and imprisonment.
Born in 1932 in Dacheng County, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, Tonjok-gun, Roh Tae-woo gave him this name that was steeped in moderate thought, implying great wisdom and foolishness. Lu Taiyu's father died at an early age, and his mother played the role of a strict father, often admonishing him, "Don't let people laugh at you for being a wild boy without father discipline", so Lu Taiyu was particularly precocious and heavy-handed from an early age, "not a little childlike".
The young Roh Tae-woo, like his peers, enlisted in the army and was admitted to the South Korean Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. At the time, South Korea was in a military dictatorship established by a coup d'état by Park Chung-hee, a former officer in the Imperial Japanese Army. Full of fascist flavor of the old Japanese era. This is especially true in military academies, where young South Korean officers, one by one, who love to take the example of the young and strong officers of the Japanese army who launched the "226 Mutiny" in Japan, are always ready to launch a coup d'état, so they have actively networked people since the beginning of the military academy to prepare for future developments.
Lu Tae-woo knew such an ambitious classmate at the military academy, he was Chun Doo-hwan, who later mutinied to the stage, and Chun Doo-hwan organized a small group of officers full of Japanese fascist flavor - "One Heart Society", of which Lu Tae-woo was the backbone, and the two of them worked together since then.
After graduating, Chun Doo-hwan Lu Tae-woo participated in the Vietnam War with the barbaric Korean Green Dragon and White Tiger Unit, gilded the gold and made meritorious contributions, and was promoted all the way, and in 1979, Roh Tae-woo became the division commander of the "White Horse Division" of the garrison in the South Korean capital, which meant entering the top level of the army leadership.
When the opportunity came, their predecessor, the military dictator Park Chung-hee, was assassinated in 1979, and Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, launched a coup d'état on December 12 to establish a "new military regime" military dictatorship, and Chun Doo-hwan became the new president.
This military regime is not the same as Park Chung-hee's, park Chung-hee only used the harsh means of the military regime to govern the country, south Korea's economy took off, and Chun Doo-hwan' dictatorship was even more fascist and brutal.
It was belligerent to the outside world, and once planned to send special forces to infiltrate North Korea to assassinate Kim Il-sung, but later this unit mutinied and rebelled, and was pressurized, and I believe that audiences who have watched the South Korean movie "Shio Island" know this scene. The Uchiha Doo-hwan brutally pressurized the Korean pro-democracy movement, and in 1980, the "Gwangju Bloody Case" that shocked the world shocked the world.
At that time, in order to emulate Japan's practice of using the Olympic Games to enhance its international status, South Korea also used disgraceful means to obtain the right to host the 24th Olympic Games in 1988, but looking at the scene of the military and police pressure pro-democracy movement staged all day on the streets of South Korea, the International Olympic Committee was also worried and discussed canceling south Korea's hosting rights , and it would also ease the Cold War situation.
Subsequently, Roh Tae-woo used the Korean folk street scolding method to intimidate the president and members of the Olympic Committee.
If south Korea's hosting rights are abolished, South Korea will still have to build a big and first-class sports venue, but instead of holding any sports competitions, it will be used as a "cemetery" with hundreds of tombstones in it, and at that time, IOC President Samaranch and hundreds of members, everyone has a share! It is to thousands of Koreans, always remember them and curse them!
This "lobbying" full of Korean characteristics made Samaranch and the gentlemen and commissioners from Western countries frightened one by one and had to continue to retain the right to host South Korea, and as a result, the 1988 Olympic Games were particularly "successful".
However, while the world audience paid attention to the Olympic Games, they found that the streets of South Korea were still full of demonstrations and military police beatings, and the brutality of the Chun Doo-hwan military government also aroused the world's dissatisfaction, and Chun Doo-hwan was soon forced to step down.
Lo Tae-woo was vice president at the time, and he could have come to power as his successor. However, Lu Tae-woo, who had long been dissatisfied with Chun Doo-hwan, deliberately severed his connection with Chun Doo-hwan in public. He first announced the June 29 Declaration on Democratization, announced the implementation of the direct presidential election system, and then participated in the election himself. As a result, due to the infighting of his competitors and the good reputation for his own democracy, he was successfully elected the first democratically elected president of South Korea.
After Roh Tae-woo was elected president, it did bring about positive changes in Rok's domestic and foreign affairs, developing the economy at home and improving social security, while extensively carrying out "sunshine diplomacy" externally, establishing diplomatic relations with China and establishing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and other socialist countries one by one. Most commendably, the Dprk also concluded the "Agreement on Non-Aggression and Cooperation and Exchange between the North and the South," and the two countries began to recognize each other. It's not easy.
What is less known is that this President Lu Tae-yu has always claimed to be a descendant of the "Chinese" and "Shandong people", and it turns out that the Lu clan relatives to whom he belonged are said to be descendants of the Lu clan of Fanyang, Shandong Province, who immigrated to Korea, so Lu Tae-yu personally concluded diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and after leaving office, Lu Tae-yu also went with his wife and his party to visit relatives in Changqing District, Jinan, Shandong City, in June 2000. Compose a good story of Friendship between China and South Korea.
Unfortunately, Lu Tae-woo is like Pandora who opened the "magic box" and "gambling curse", he became a victim of his own behavior, south Korean politics has been full of black money flooding, chaebol warlords and politicians collude with each other, these are the previous presidents can not eradicate the "original sin", but Lu Tae-yu took the lead in opening "democracy", as a result, he eventually became the first democratically elected president to go to prison on the charges of rebellion, suppression, corruption and bribery, and opened a "Korean model" in which a South Korean president stepped down and was imprisoned. This is the fateful tragedy of the President of South Korea. The reason for this is the "foreign fruit" of the hypocritical and contradictory "democratic system" in the West on the special fertile soil of South Korea.
