Managing famine and poverty, he built
A comfortable nation and comfortable homes,
In bad year, he distributed grains from government
Storehouses to remove the starvation, from people's homes.
The teacher led them in reclaiming salt fields
Instead of providing the people with rations
Implementing his policies anew, he’ll become
A teacher forever for future generations.

I am pretty ignorant of Korean history... I assume you refer to Tojeong Lee Ji-ham? I enjoyed learning about the great man... thank you for being a welcome window into Korean culture!
Hi! Thank you for your comments. Sure. Tojeon is same person as Lee Ji-ham. Right! Have a nice day!
