Toshie Kin learned of the cruel history the Korean people endured under Japanese annexation when she was in her third year of junior high. In time, that rage became a dislike and even hatred for the Japanese people.<\/p>\n
With a warm smile, Shin’ichi said to Toshie Kin: \u201cI have heard about your situation. From the standpoint of our basic humanity, our nationality or ethnicity doesn\u2019t really matter. It\u2019s a very small thing. As a youth, the important thing is to look to the future and strive to contribute to the happiness of others. Just do your best as a human being, in a way that is true to yourself. I\u2019ll be watching over you.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a form of encouragement, he presented Toshie with a photograph of one of the bronze statues at the university\u2019s main entrance, writing on the back of it: \u201cOriginally, national boundaries did not exist. People created them. Let us not forget to live with the awareness that we are linked together as human beings on a profound level that transcends national boundaries.\u201d These words shook Toshie to the depths of her being.<\/p>\n
From that point on, Toshie studied with even greater diligence, and the year she graduated, she became a licensed tax accountant \u2014 the first Soka University student to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
