Jeon Seong-hyeon: Colonial cities and railroads

The world and society are urging us to be more interested in the history of places where we are based on our space-time existence. UNESCO says that the history education of world citizens should be made up of a Trinity of world history, state history and community history. In these days of local self-sufficiency and expansion of the local share, interest in local affairs is growing, rather than outside of college. The need for public history in recent times to re-replicate history in many ways is not without its emphasis. The right perception and need for local affairs should be shared in the history world as well as in the local university and history departments. The chapters of the book are still inadequate in their own struggle to overcome prejudice and indifference to local affairs, but they have been studied as part of a search for the ‘Change of Region’ and ‘Signland by way ’ to understand the land, Korea and the world. It was a limited time, space and object, but as far back as the future, I wanted to reveal to the region what mechanism had built past history and how it was affecting the present and future and producing its own meaning and value. But more than is revealed, not only is it imperfect. History is not only about understanding what's revealed, but also about imagining what'll be revealed and what isn't. I want this insufficient book to imagine the unknown and to be part of the master mind of understanding the history of the region, Korea and the world through the unspecified history of places.
