20The life of Kang Tae-yeon offers a fine example of this. Born in 1929, he became one of the first inhabitants of Odu-ri to complete the six-year elementary education. He supported Jeong Cheol-hui from the 1945 Liberation until the establishment of the ROK government, after which he became a leading member of a rightist youth organization, and then vice-chairman of a leftist youth organization, the Democratic Youth Alliance, when his village was under North Korean occupation. He said in his interview with me that he was given the position mostly because there was no one else but him who had received regular education. He played a key role in forming the Veterans Association and developing the government-organized National Reconstruction Movement, and became a popularly elected village chief by ending the era of dominance by the Catholic families. After that he saw long service as a Saemaeul leader, and is currently the chair of the Odu-ri Senior Association.
