able in the world IN which they lived
The kingdom of Korea whose history goes
back thousands of years, occupied a. peninsula
projecting from the side of China toward the
heart of Japan. It called the hermit
Kingdom because it maintained its isolation
generation after Japan opened its doors to
the Western World.
Scarcely so years ago it made its first treaties
and faced the modern world. Its government
had fallen into decay and the dynasty which
had ruled for 600 years has now come to end.
This dynasty was founded by vi Taijo, who
established the capital at Seoul. vi Is the Chi
nese equivalent of "Rhee." The first king of
this last dynasty had an elder son, who was
the crown prince. Sixteen generations ago this
crown prince became the ancestor Of the boy
Syngman, who was born 81 years ago in the
western part of Korea, the sixth generation rep
resented by single son.
King VI wanted his second son to succeed
him, but this was impossible under the law, so
the crown prince knowing his fathers wish,
feigned insanity so successfully that the sue
cession was transferred. When the King
learned what his elder son had done to please
him, he loved him more than he did the younger
son, so the brother later became even more
famous than the young King.
The legends are full Of the happy relations
that existed between the King and his elder
brother. In the 16 generations Of DR.. Rhee's
family 48 kings ruled Korea. Although the es-
tates had been divided until there was nothing
left, the family relationship was symboliZed by
worship in and care for the ancestral temple.
