The Gate of the Fortress Traversed by Trams, the Trials of the Fortress City

Visiting the exhibition 'The Gate of the Fortress Traversed by Trams, the Trials of the Fortress City' left me with a heavy heart. The exhibition vividly depicted the process of how the Hanyang Fortress, which had stood since the Joseon Dynasty, was damaged and altered during the Japanese colonial period and modernization. 🍁

Photographs of tram tracks cutting across the areas around the fortress gates and the severed fortress walls conveyed the pain of that era. It particularly reminded me that cultural heritage is not merely stone or architecture but embodies our history and spirit. Through the exhibition, I reflected on the wounds inflicted on cultural heritage hidden behind urban development and felt a renewed determination to ensure such pain is not repeated in the future. 🔮
