< 201311373 Sumin, Choi >

I will introduce Huh Joon of Korean great mans who is a my favorite historical man.

Huh Joon was a court physician of the Yangcheon Heo clan during the reign of King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. In, 1547, Huh Joon borned as an illegitimate son of a nobleman at Gyeongido, Paju Jindongmyeon Hapori. Huh Joon meets a renowned physician named Eui-tae Yu, who changes his life by teaching him medicine. Huh Joon then struggles against social barriers with his selfless devotion to heal the sick. When patients are formed, he went to there and took care of them. 

Meanwhile, one day Huh Joon thinks that he has to make a book to subjects looks well, and he made a medical book. After troubling, when he is 55 years old, he finished book<Dong eui Bo Gam> after 3 years. Chineses praise the book and named with " treasure of the world". Also, “Donguibogam” was included in the Memory of the World Register in 2009. The book is an encyclopedia of medical knowledge and treatment techniques compiled in Korea in 1613 by Huh Joon, an acclaimed court physician, and other medical experts of the royal court.

When I look Huh Joon teacher, I think that I have to do my best like him to be a specialist. So, in the future, I will treat patients like him.
