3. Behind the miracle of the Han River, it is not worth bragging about!

As the four dragons in Asia, Korea, which is developing rapidly, was once the envy of other countries. In just a few decades, Korea has transformed from the ruins of war to the 11th largest economy in the world. Developed and created world-renowned multinational groups such as Samsung , LG and Hyundai . Especially in 2006, South Korea's 's GDP reached US$1011.8 billion, and it jumped into the ranks of developed countries .

The reason why South Korea has undergone such a dramatic change is all thanks to a man named Park Jeong-hee . During ’s eighteen years as the president of Park Jung-hee from 1961 to 1979, Park’s impoverished and unemployed South Korea, which is struggling in China, has achieved rapid development in agricultural and industry, and has achieved an export-oriented economy.

But behind these brilliant and great achievements,Is it as everyone thinks? the answer is negative.

Park Zhengxi, the Japanese name Masao Takagi , but he has no Japanese ancestry, nor is he Japanese, , but he is considered the most famous Korean "spiritual Japanese" who has reached the highest position. Back then, Park Zhengxi was teaching in elementary school. He was full of enthusiasm. Facing the broken river in South Korea, he felt the Tokyo "226" Incident and wanted to follow the example of Japan, so he changed his name and took an oath.

But these are not the most important. Speaking of Han River miracle, it is actually a kind of economic reform, but for the economy, it is money. But at that time, South Korea, which had just experienced World War II, per capita GDP is only 100 US dollars. Where is the money for construction and development? You know, from 1945 to 1970, the innocent South Korea was basically relying on American aid to survive, but the opportunity occurred in the 1955 Vietnam War .

In order to show loyalty to the US cent, but also to fear that the United States may deploy troops in South Korea, and the North finds an opportunity to take advantage of it. South Korea has really done its best to die, not only serving as a pioneer of Vietnam War _span, but also 16span. The number of troops sent steadily ranks first among the coalition forces, even surpassing that of the United States.

There is also the "monkeyhouse" that ceased operations in the early 1990s. It can probably be understood as the convenience of the century, because the spirit and material of the US military in Korea at that time were very empty and far away from the motherland. Of American soldiers,All Kong Wu is powerful, but can't help but always can't restrain his homesickness. In order to be able to retain the U.S. military's body and the heart of the U.S. military, and to earn foreign exchange, the South Korean government, especially Park Jung-hee, took great pains, so this oldest plot has been staged in South Korea for nearly five years. For ten years, the most ironic thing is that at that time, the head of operation of such clubs could still be awarded various presidential medals for generating revenue.

Therefore, after taking a deeper look at the Han River miracle, do we still think it is really a miracle? A miracle of the Han River that was acquired by executioners and matchmaking, is it really worth showing off?
