Never has she taken for granted the gift that is her life.We can see four distinct phases: Growing up as a child in her parents’ loving care and working hard in school and church; Immigrating to Canada with her husband and working as a pharmacist while raising her three sons; Moving to Vancouver, opening a dispensary, and building a financial foundation and becoming president of the Vancouver Korean-Canadian Scholarship Foundation; Working for the community.She has written this story of her life going back step by step from recent years to when she was young. We hope this process of reflecting on her journey will be an opportunity to see that life is a gift given to everyone.저자는 삶이란 신이 주신 최고의 선물이라고 말한다. 그녀의 삶은 조개의 아픔이 진주를 만든 삶과 같았다. 인생은 여정이라 했던가? 오유순의 회고록은 4단계로 나누어 볼 수 있었다. 유년 시절 부모님의 따뜻한 보호 아래 자라며 학교와 교회에 열심히 다녔던 시기, 결혼 후 남편과 함께 캐나다로 이주하며 고용 약사로 일하면서 세 아들을 키웠던 시기, 밴쿠버에서 오약국을 개업하고 경제적 기반을 닦았던 시기, 밴쿠버 한인장학재단 이사장을 시작으로 지역 사회를 위해 일해온 시기를 담았다.이 책은 이러한 그녀의 인생 여정을 최근의 삶부터 어렸을 적에 이르기까지 차근차근 거슬러 올라가며 회고한다. 오유순의 이야기를 돌아보는 모든 사람에게, 삶은 누구에게나 동일하게 주어진 선물임을 느낄 수 있는 기회가 되기를 소망한다.</div> <h3 style="padding: 0 0 4px 0px; f color:#323232; margin-top:30px; position:relative; z-index:1; clear:both; border-bottom:1px solid #7f7f7f;line-height:180%;font-family: '맑은 고딕', 'Gulim';font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;"><div class="tit" style="vertical-align:-2px; margin-right:6px;text-align:left;">■ 목차</div><span class="topBtn" style="position: absolute; right: 0; top: 9px;text-align:left;"></span></h3> <div class="detail_con" style="width: 745px;text-align:left;margin-top:10px;"><span style = "display:block;text-align:left;" > Remarks by The Honourable Yonah Martin, Senator A word from the husband IntroductionChapter 1: Service1.

Everything I have has been entrusted to me by God, and I believe I should use it as He intended. In addition, it has been supremely gratifying to see our scholarship recipients go on to thrive and make a difference in the world. I think my desire to provide a nurturing environment for the next generation to grow up healthy and strong is the driving force behind this work for me."Chapter 1: Service” 중에서Efforts to repatriate Koreans were thwarted by Japanese interference, and in the whirlwind of history, Koreans lived in Cuba for six generations without ever returning to their homeland. Nowadays, many Cubans of Korean descent have intermarried with Cubans and assimilated, making it difficult to distinguish between Cuban and Korean. Yet they still hold affection for their Korean heritage and pride in their identity. As I watched them sing Arirang and struggle to speak what little Korean they could remember, I felt a strong sense of togetherness and unity that is difficult to articulate."Chapter 2: Immigrant life” 중에서My faith is rooted in Christianity. My belief in God, who resides in the deepest depths of my being, serves as the driving force and center of my life. Because I have faith that God is always with me, through both joyful and difficult times, I can live with a grateful heart, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, I believe that I should let the boundless love and grace that God has given me spill over to my neighbors."Chapter 3: Faith and meditation” 중에서I was blindly immersed in the teachings of the church, but my husband, a scholar of religion, thought in a different way. He emphasized that one should become a believer of profound religion, not a surface-level religion. He awakened me to the importance of not being bound by formalities such as doctrines and dogmas, to break free from my preconceived notions and thus attain enlightenment. Even while he continued to attend church with me following our marriage, he would work hard to change my fixed ideas about the church. Sometimes, when I was sleeping, I would hear him talking fervently next to me, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was teaching true religion to my subconscious. "Chapter 4: Home life” 중에서Without a doubt, the church and the Bible form the cornerstone of my existence. Although I initially attended church because of my parents, my encounters within the church have molded my worldview, mentality, approach towards life, and principles, all of which still anchor me today. Through my journey in understanding God’s love, I have cultivated trust and affection for others, and found a clear purpose and path for my life."Chapter 5: Childhood” 중에서</div> <h3 style="padding: 0 0 4px 0px; f color:#323232; margin-top:30px; position:relative; z-index:1; clear:both; border-bottom:1px solid #7f7f7f;line-height:180%;font-family: '맑은 고딕', 'Gulim';font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;"><div class="tit" style="vertical-align:-2px; margin-right:6px;text-align:left;">■ 저자소개</div><span class="topBtn" style="position: absolute; right: 0; top: 9px;text-align:left;"></span></h3> <div class="detail_con" style="width: 745px;text-align:left;margin-top:10px;"><span style = "display:block;text-align:left;" > 저자 : Eunice Oh Eunice (Yoo-soon) Oh is a pharmacist, business owner, and philanthropist known for her contributions and leadership in numerous nonprofit organizations and community initiatives, both locally and internationally.
