Full message of gratitude for Parents' Day

In May, the month of family, on the occasion of the 52nd Parents' Day, I extend my respect and gratitude for the love and dedication bestowed by our parents.

Parents have always silently lived their lives wishing only for their children's success.

As the head of a household and as a mother, I will always honor and cherish the grace of mothers and fathers who have endured difficult times.

There is a saying called ‘Noraejihee (老萊之?)’. It is the story of ‘Noraeja’, a person from the ancient Chinese state of Chu, who at the age of 70 wore children's clothes and performed antics to delight his aging parents.

With the pure heart of a young child who makes paper carnations with small hands and pins them to their chest, Changwon City will become a city that respects and loves parents.

Heartfelt congratulations on Parents' Day.
