Cherished ‘4·19’

April 19 is the 42nd anniversary of 4.19 revolution that shaken up the dictatorial regime. Even though a long time passed in-between, the mothers` hearts that lost sons and daughters are filled with grief when the day approaches. At the 4.19 National Cemetery in Suyu 4- Dong, Kangbuk-Gu, Seoul, on April 18, Ms. Do Pil-Jong is wiping out tears in her face in front of the tombstone of her son Lee Cheong-Su (a student of Kukmin University at that time).
