“Sooner or later our nation will be on the path of economic progress. Along the way, there is an overwhelming concern about the decline of our…identity, culture, customs, value, and virtues. One of our most precious treasures is the joint family culture[…]We must maintain these precious values[…]As [we rebuild] our country, we should not forget to maintain our values, virtues, ideals, and cultures in the name of reconstruction.”
