What we need to do...

This is Blanket flower from my HAPPY garden! Thank you, Blanket flower, for showing harmony to us! These flowers look more beauty--ful if we respect them, if we love them.

I have two missing aunts—Japanese took them somewhere, but they never came home. This happened at the end of the 36 years of the Japanese Occupation of Korea (1910-1945) and before America ended the war with the dropping of the two atomic bombs.




The only thing we knew was my two missing aunts were in the truck driven by Japanese and taken somewhere. But they never came back home. My grandmother was waiting for them to come home until she died. They never did. We did not know what happened to my two missing aunts. After my grandma’s death, some Korean women who served as comfort women revealed their horrible experiences during their ordeal. From this revealing testimony as the starting point, we have learned a bit by bit, little by little about young Korean women who were used as sex slaves called “comfort women” or “spirit women” for Japanese soldiers. They were used—at least some people believed—to give powers and spiritual energies to Heavenly Japanese soldiers in Shanghai, China and Taiwan when Japan was carrying on its war of continental invasion from Manchuria into mid-China via Korea as well as the time of having wars against America. Historian Yoshiaki Yoshimi, who conducted the first academic study on the topic which brought the issue out into the open, estimated the number to be between 80,000 and 200,000. A majority of the comfort women were from Korea, though others were recruited or kidnapped from China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Burma, Malaysia, and Indonesia.



Some of whom were only 13 to 16 years old—were kidnapped and raped by the Japanese soldiers. They were turned into sex slaves, servicing 30 to 60 men per day. Japanese soldiers queued in long lines in front of the cubicles at the 'comfort station'. After being either laboring slaves or sex slaves, these victims could not escape from their brutal conditions in a heavily guarded place, but mostly died or got killed.



Our family had no ideas about my two missing aunts. I have not found any trace of my two missing aunts, but have found traces of numerous other survivors who could have been with my missing aunts. My desire to know my two missing aunts can be partially fulfilled through survivors’ testimonies. In the name of research, I searched and read testimonies from survivors because I may find stories from survivors who could have been with my two aunts.



And I cried...I cried...and I still cry. I cry for my two missing aunts. I cry for all other victims who never came home while their family is waiting. I cry for those who survived, but carried horrible scar until they died. I also cry for Greedy people who committed such cruelty.



I want to know about my grandma’s two missing daughters—my missing aunts. I want to know what really had happened to them. I want to know more about my two missing aunts because I do not even know them. I do not even know their face. I do not even know how they die. I want to know more about my two missing aunts because they maybe still alive in somewhere. I want to know more about my two missing aunts because I do not even know if they were kidnapped to be comfort women.



“Comfort Women” is not the only case many young girls were used for sex slaves. Throughout history, so many innocent were killed and died out of this all over the world. Even at this moment, right now, the city I live in Albany, NY, America, many young girls are raped and sold into the slavery in money and economic driven society. Our females who are forced into sex slaves experience not only sexual violence but also institutionalized racism.



Many unimaginable brutalities have been committed by men—born of women’s wombs—but raised by the whole world. Thus, our uncorrupted female ancestors were the victims of greed-incited violence. And still is...



Many victimes were beating to death. Many were starved to death. Many burning houses with live innocent people inside in their houses while serving sex slaves. Some parents in starvation sold their daughters into sex slaves.



What a world we are living right now at this moment!

Where are we heading for?

Where are all human digity and integrity?

Where are all of our beautiful heart?



We lost our heart.
We forgot why we are here on this planet at this time.
We need to find out the lost heart.
We need to stop these unimaginable brutalities.
We need to stop violence and injustice in the world.
We need to spread more love and our positive energies.
We need to walk toward a true state of natural Peace, not War or Violence.
We need to head toward a state of Love and Oneness on the Universe.

Even though my voice is so small, and I am a little person because I am only "Three year-old woman from the East” who has been gifted a second life, and I just learn how to say things. Everyday, I am learning  more and better to put in right way and the most positive ways.

From my Happy Garden, I say:
Please help me to stop this!
Please help me to find out the lost heart!
Please direct me to stop people who do these brutalities because of money!
Please guide me to say things right to Greedy people, not being Greedy!
