An Chang-ho<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
He arrived in San Francisco,<\/span><\/p>\nThrough Hawaii,<\/span><\/p>\nAnd taught his fellow countrymen<\/span><\/p>\nHow picking carefully even a single tangerine in an orchard<\/span><\/p>\nCould be an act of patriotism.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although he felt like he might wane,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn that painfully rough spring in San Francisco,<\/span><\/p>\nHe worked from dawn \u2018til late at night<\/span><\/p>\nSolely for the future of Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
In order to work for Korean independence,<\/span><\/p>\nHe organized the secret Sinminhoe Association,<\/span><\/p>\nAnd established Daeseong School in Pyeongyang,<\/span><\/p>\nTo raise talent for the restoration of Korean sovereignty.<\/span><\/p>\nHe helped An Jung-geun in his execution of Ito Hirobumi,<\/span><\/p>\nSupported armed independence struggles, by participating in the establishment of the Provisional Government of Korea in Shanghai–<\/span><\/p>\nWent everywhere: Vladivostok and Mishan in northern Manchuria,<\/span><\/p>\nthe Philippines, and many other places around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is for your sake that I go.<\/span><\/p>\nAlthough I go, I won\u2019t be gone.<\/span><\/p>\nIt is for the future of Korea<\/span><\/p>\nThat I go to Siberia and the Manchurian plains,<\/span><\/p>\nLike a floating weed.<\/span><\/p>\nWithout knowing when I\u2019ll return,<\/span><\/p>\nOn board a ship across the Pacific Ocean,<\/span><\/p>\nIt is to San Francisco that I go.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t complain that there is no great personage in Korea\u2014<\/span><\/p>\nBe that great personage yourself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAlthough he died prematurely at just 60,<\/span><\/p>\nThe dawn had already broken in the sky of his fatherland<\/span><\/p>\nAnd the spring was approaching for the great nation of Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
