I respect my hometown Jeju as a story. I believe that storytelling is the most radical and accessible approach available to organize our memories, the events of our day, dreams of possibilities and hope for what can be. By telling our stories and reflecting imaginatively on our lives, our ancestral roots and our relationship to the land, we discover powerful memories of nature in our childhood or of selfless parent. I liked to listen to a story of Father Emile Taquet from my grandfather and my father and I also was able to replicate his great work in Jeju. He was always frugal as a lifelong botanist and as a seminary professor. He experienced the agony of the age since he experienced the Jeju Uprising aftermath, Japanese colonial period, the First and Second World Wars, Korean War, and the nuclear bomb in Japan. He always shaved his hair off because of his poverty. He was always frugal as a botanical collector. Because of its geological make up many people in Jeju suffered damage caused by the force of nature every year. He developed tangerine orange cultivation and he taught people how to break the poverty cycle of their lives. He was the real social leader as well as a parish priest. He recognized that local people had their expression of their own faith. By recognizing each area’s culture and tradition, he was able to have a good relationship with Jeju people for 13 years. He taught Jeju people how to boost the economy by direct action in their own eco system. He never hurt their pride even though they lived poorly. He collected plants and worked as a professor, and completed his missionary work. He passed away in Daegu on January 27, 1952. Before and after the Korean War, he spent his last days helping the development of home for orphaned children.
