Publisher Description

When a country is in the midst of a crisis, the people have taken the lead and sacrificed their lives for this country and this people. Those who ate up the country and those who had the country taken away were rulers who wielded power. When Japanese pirates or north barbarians attacked, kings and dignitaries were busy crawling into the mountains to hide or to cross the river and run away their assholes off. It cannot but be a dishonorable act. The people have defended the country. Throughout the country, we will find that the history of local heroes who died bravely while defending their villages is engraved. For example, on the side of National Road 25 passing Hwaryeongjae on Baekdudaegangil, there is a monument to the heroes of the local  or the village who died bravely while defending the country. In this way, these grasses, common people have been protecting this country. The Saemaul leaders are the village heroes who fought the enemy of poverty and won.


We have known many anecdotes of perfection one good village leader raise the village completely. Record their accomplishments and leave behind to future generations. These are the heroes of our country. This is a famous saying from President Park Jeonghee's handwriting. The records in this book are the stories of the village heroes. At the end of the economic trend briefing session presided over by President Park Jeonghee, the Saemaul leader presented the success stories of his village. Each time the President sobbed as he heard this success. The attendees, including the minister and large corporate presidents, also sobbed, and the conference hall would soon become a sea of tears. These success stories are the story of village heroes who have overcome thorny difficulty, and the local history of the villagers. When I look into this anecdote, it is reminiscent that the English King George II is impressed by the Hallelujah choir when the Friedrich Händel’s Oratorio Messiah is premiered in London and then stood up on the spot. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Saemaul Undong, I rediscovered moving success stories from the dusty bookshelves while writing a separate book 'Saemaul so far'. After rediscovering this amazing story of a hero, I thought it was as important as a history textbook to tell the growing generation how our ancestors made our village and our country prosperous, rather than letting it sit as it is.


이 책 마을 영웅은 내무부가 1973년부터 엮어낸 새마을백서인 새마을운동 시작에서 오늘까지 중에 실린 마을 성공사례를 따로 편집하여 묶은 것입니다. 백서에는 5천년의 한 맺힌 가난을 극복해낸 뭇 민중들의 피눈물 나는 역정들이 기록되어 있습니다. 그 역정들을 새마을운동이 주도하였습니다. 그 새마을운동에는 남녀노소의 마을 주민들이 있었습니다. 그리고 앞장서서 솔선수범하였던 마을지도자가 있었습니다. 실패와 좌절로 포기하였다가도 오뚜기처럼 다시 일어나서 결국은 해냈습니다. 가난을 벗어던지고 잘 사는 마을을 만들어 냈습니다.


한 사람의 훌륭한 부락지도자가 한 마을을 완전이 일어나도록 만든 예를 많이 보고 있다. 이들이 이룩한 업적을 기록에 남기고 후세역사에 남겨야 한다. 이들이 바로 우리 농촌의 영웅이다. 박정희 대통령의 친필에 나오는 명언입니다. 이 백서의 기록들은 바로 마을 영웅들의 이야기인 것입니다. 박정희 대통령이 주재하는 경제동향 보고회의 말미에 새마을지도자가 자기 마을의 성공사례를 직접 발표하였습니다. 매번 대통령께서는 이 성공사례를 들으며 흐느꼈습니다. 장관, 재벌 회장 등 동석자들도 또한 흐느껴 회의장은 이내 눈물 바다가 되곤 했습니다. 이들 성공사례는 형극(荊棘)의 역정을 헤쳐온 마을 영웅들의 이야기 마을 주민들의 향토사(鄕土史)인 것입니다. 필자는 이 일화를 들여다볼 때면 헨델(Georg Friedrich Händel)의 오라토리오 메시야(Oratorio Messiah)가 런던에서 초연(初演)될 때 할레루야(Halleluja) 합창시 영국 국왕 조지 2세(George II)가 감동을 받고 자리에서 벌떡 일어났다는 일화가 연상되곤 합니다.
