Tracing My Ancestral Roots: Gen. Shin Sung Gyeom
In August of 2022, I made my first visit to South Korea in 25 years. While I was there to speak at a conference in Seoul on the topic of Peace in Times of International Conflict, I ended up on a pilgrimage to retrace my ancestral roots. One of the places I visited was an historic site devoted to Gen. Shin Sung Gyeom in Daegu City. There is a mound there that marks where Gen. Shin was killed in battle in 927 AD.
Shin Sung Gyeom is the founder of the Pyongsan Shin Clan, of which I am a descendent through my father. Gen. Shin was a skillful archer and military general who is remembered for sacrificing his life to save King Taejo Wang Geon in 927 AD.
When King Wang Geon's men were besieged by the Baekjae army during a battle in Gongsan, Daegu, Gen. Shin put on the king's clothes and bravely rode out to fight his enemies with a few men. While Gen. Shin distracted the Baekjae army disguised as King Wang Geon, the real king of Goryeo and his army escaped. The Baekjae army killed Gen. Shin believing they had killed the King of Goryeo.
But King Taejo Wang Geon of Goryeo lived on to rule and unite the 3 kingdoms-Shilla, Baekjae, and Goryeo-under his reign as King of the Goryeo Kingdom.
Gen. Shin's descendents carried on as aristocrats, military generals and bureaucrats for multiple generations.
Two famous historical sites in Korea dedicated to Gen. Shin Sung Gyeom are established in the Cities of Daegu and Chuncheon. He is remembered as a loyal contributor to the founding of Korea. Along with some of his descendants, he is an important part of Korean military history.

My family came to Canada in the 1970s, to leave behind an impending threat of war in the Korean Peninsula.

My mother juggled between working and driving me and my sisters to piano lessons, tutoring, and swimming...

A pleasure to celebrate Nowruz with the Kurdish community in the Greater Vancouver Area and MP Tom Kmiec.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday Conservatives asked the Prime Minister about the infiltration of scientists from the Chinese Communist regime's military into high-security Canadian labs.

He spun an inflammatory ...

    The Zionist state is trying to conflate being of the Jewish faith with being a supporter of Israeli actions, not only in Gaza, but wherever the state thinks that it can operate with impunity, always calling out: "Oh, the Holocaust!" While, in fact, being a political, colonialist, and racist state and philosophy... The Zionists began terrorist activities in the Palestinian Mandate, well before Hitler's little attempts at a master race, and to me, the sound of: "God's chosen children" rings too close to the idea of a "master race", and, if anything, is more exclusive of others, "Goyim"... Sad that netanyahoo and the ultra orthodox in Israel are causing "leakage":of the hate for them onto Jews who are just living their faith, and have not become the inhuman monsters that we see coming from Israel. Peace to the peaceful.

    Very well said Phil! Since the government isn't stepping up, my hope (perhaps misguided) that the mainstream media does so. Am I a dreamer and naive?... most likely. The media needs to examine itself and break through the propaganda machine churning out mis, dis and malinformation, and be itellectually honest with itself. Fight the good fight Nelly, Phil and et. al., you ARE doing GOOD WORKS. Veritas vos liberabit!
