The valley water of Ssanggyesa Temple.

The valley water of Hwadong Ssanggyesa Temple says not to make noise or complain as it gets older. The water originating from Samshin Mountain is so innocent that it lives so cleanly. The Goryeo Dynasty's relief-carved Buddha says not to care who you vote for during elections. Even couples vote differently, so the Buddha statue says it can't be helped. The red plum blossoms advise not to leave wealth that will cause children to fight, but to accumulate virtues like a mound of red flowers. 'Sir, if you have money, try to share it,' they say, wishing for everyone's enlightenment. I return to visit the Hwagae Wangseong Elementary School where my late father used to work. The walking stick planted by Choi Chi-won during the Unified Silla period has now become a paulownia tree. The old tree still guards the main gate.
