About Yulgok and His Great Mother Shin Saimdang
Yulkok, a great Confucian scholar in Lee Dynasty, is brought up by sincere and careful teaching of Shin Saimdang, his mother. His mother dies at his age of sixteen, which makes him doubt about life and lose his way temporarily. But he devotes himself to the study and takes the first place at the national examination as many as nine times. He is poor but honest and friendly, and makes efforts to mediate and compromise the political parties' dispute. On the contrary, however, he is suspected to be one of dangerous persons to be once isolated in the royal court. He takes office of the Minister of Defence (Byeonjo Panseo) at his age of forty eight to insist the theory of keeping 100,000 soldiers, but is impeach by the opponents to be retired. On the way to the palace to protest such an unfair action, he dies. When the Japanese Army invades Korea eight years later, Yoo Seong-Ryong weeps and regrets his wrong action that he expelled Yulkok.
