People met on my backpacking 187 - The offspring of world heroes
So far, every foreigner I've met on my travels throughout the world has been significant and engaging. Conversations with them were always thought-provoking and educational for me. The same thing happened to a 23-year-old Lithuanian youth whom I met today. He was a dreamy young man who was deeply patriotic. After completing a four-year training at a flight school to become a future pilot, he was enjoying a week vacation with a buddy to see Bangkok and Pattaya.
He was startled and listened to me when I told him that I had spent two months in 2014 traveling with my wife through the Baltic nations, Belarus, and other nearby countries, all the way to Poland. I told him about our excursion to Vilnius Square, the beginning point of the 'Baltic Way', a 650-kilometer 'human chain' that connected Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Riga), and Estonia (Tallinn). I stated that I had personally saw the person's two footprints inscribed on a copper plate buried in the earth.
He informed me about Korea's accomplishments, which included defeating the Soviet Union, Chinese communists, North Korea during the Korean War, and its status as one of the world's top five industrial countries. He highlighted the Hyudai's enormous contributions to Lithuania, such as the Independence, the world's largest maritime LNG storage ship, which can contain 70,000 tons of LNG. Hyundai Shipbuilding is responsible for Lithuania's energy security, which is free of Russian energy intimidation and persecution. He questioned the source of Korea's miraculous powers.
I responded. "That power sprang from two outstanding leaders. They were Presidents Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee. Similarly, your country had a fantastic leader, Dahlia Grybausite, and the ship 'Independence' was born. It is currently docked at the Klaipeda port and carrying out its tasks. Of course, in every country, great leaders are picked by great citizens. In this regard, I believe that both Korea and Lithuania will continue to grow and enjoy freedom and abundance.¡°
I mentioned President Dalia Grybauste to him for a good reason. When I was in Lithuania, Korea's president was Park Geun Hye. The two leaders shared the distinction of becoming each of their countries' first female presidents. I was fascinated by the world's prominent female leaders at the time, including British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Irish Prime Minister Mary Robinson, Finnish Tarya Halonen, and Chilean President Michelle Bachelet.
I asked him the following question: "When do you think there was the greatest figure and the proudest time in your country's history?¡°
He said, "They are those Grand Duke Gedminas and his son Aldas. We would not have been one of the biggest European powers in the 16th and 17th centuries if it hadn't been for them. They also defeated Mongolian invaders. Of course, we are delighted to have successfully finished the "Baltic Way," which has resulted in a country's liberation and independence from the oppressive Soviet Communist Party. Although Lithuania is a small nation with a population of fewer than 3 million people, I can claim of being a country that never backs down against any threats, such as diplomatic pressure or economic sanctions.
Lithuania, a country famed for its determination in opposing China, has attracted world diplomatic attention by formally establishing the Diplomatic Representation of Taiwan. The Lithuanian government, which displayed the country title 'Taiwan' on the mission's signboard, encouraged its citizens to avoid using Chinese cellphones since they may transfer personal information to China. The Lithuanian government's bravery in confronting China's threats prompted the United States and the European Union to back them.
Every time I see these guys, I feel jealous. This is because they feel pride in a way that I do not. It is the fact that their forefathers once wielded immense power, enough to shake world history. Turkey, Argentina, Iran, Iraq, India, Mongolia and other countries, not to mention Europe, are obvious examples of this. This is what I saw in a terminal in Istanbul, Turkey. A young Asian man in his late twenties yelled angrily, and the villagers tried to control him. At the time, he said loudly, "I am Mongolian," and everyone withdrew. The Mongolian army violently assaulted and occupied the sultanate of modern-day Turkey in the thirteenth century. Somehow, the fear of the Mongolian army seemed still alive to them.
Even in the spirit of a 23-year-old Lithuanian young guy I met today, I could detect the patriotism, courage, and pride passed on by their forefathers, similar to a Mongolian young man.
Thanks for reading.
