"I want to return the scholarship received from upper year graduates to current students." Good deeds seem to be turning. A man who had received a scholarship 35 years ago became a mid-50s with his hair color turned gray, now he has awarded the scholarship to his college juniors.
Mr. Han, who graduated from Fisheries Management Department of Pukyong National University (Formerly National Fisheries University of Busan) in 1990 said, "I have been busy for a while and I have forgotten about it, but memory suddenly came up about the scholarship that I received from my college days, so I decided to give a small amount of scholarships to current students." He said, "The person who gave me the scholarship at that time was a upper year (66) student, Jeong Oh-hyeon, who was working for Hansung Enterprise at the time." "It's a shameful story, I found it is late to give thanks because he died a few years ago unfortunately.". After graduating from college, he worked for Dongnam Bank and Housing & Commercial Bank, and he has been working for Kookmin Bank since 2011. Pukyong National University plans to pay scholarships three times a month for every semester for tuition fee (1.7 million won) and living expenses for one student as he wishes. After declining to interview, he refused to give a word to his juniors but finally he said, "I do not think I'm a good life enough to say something special to my juniors." I always tell my kids to keep in mind the Chinese idiom, '天網恢恢 疎而不漏'. It means, "The net of heaven is a wide meshed and looks clumsy, but even the smallest fish cannot escape. It gives good things to the good people, but it never misses any of the evil ones. "It would be his wish to his children, and to his juniors, 'Always aim for the right life'. <Pukyong Today> |
