Transcript

In the British Columbia, his name is his fortune. If he needs money, he simply pawns his name. However, until the loan is repaid, the borrower is nameless, believe it or not. In a moment, I'll tell you about nature's most remarkable memorial.

In the year 660, the Kingdom of Korea was invaded by the Chinese. The Korean king, Pukje, his sons, administered, were made prisoners and transported to China. But the royal wives in Kansibai, 71 of them, committed suicide by hurling themselves into the river Keohm from Nakhwam, now each spring, 71 flowers and only 71 grow on the rock.

Then they fall into the river on the same day each year. Believe it or not.
