Chungbaekri in Goyang – Young Choi
Young Choi – He was the symbol of transparency and also the last general in Koryo
(1316 – 1388 Great genera in the late Koryo and loyal subject of Koryo royal family)
General Young Choi is famous with phases, “What would you bring if you die?” and ‘You need to stay away from materialism.’ He led wars for 80 times and ended up winning them all. Hence, he was awarded with many prizes.
However, he always returned all the rewards back to the country as he was a loyal subject and great general.
Until a moment before he died, many people were impressed with how transparent general Young Choi was and wished him to be a loyalist in Joseon. However, he said he was a man of Koryo and ended up facing death.
He is a great figure in modern era where the value of transparency is lost.
