- Alas! The nation's shame and the people's disgrace have come to this point, where our people are in the midst of a life and death struggle. Usually those who demand to live die, and those who pledge to die live, so, gentlemen, how can you not respond to this? Yǒng-hwan alone by dying repays the emperor's grace and offers an apology to his twenty million fellow countrymen, his brothers, so that even if Yǒng-hwan dies, he is not dead but without fail will help you gentlemen from the nether world. If you, my fellow brothers, make one million times more effort, strengthening this will and spirit, exercising your learning, making an all-out effort with a resolute mind and restore our freedom and independence, then the dead will rejoice from afar and laugh. Oh, do not lose one iota of your desire; these are my parting words to my twenty million fellow countrymen of the Taehan Empire.
