Features: Should the future Korean economy face the Chinese economic circle or the Pacific economic circle? Is the future history of Korea continental or maritime? In other words, should Korea choose China or the United States? How will the issue of the Korean Peninsula be resolved in the future? What is the future path for Northeast Asia? Lee Chenglü's The Era of Symbiosis offers unique answers to these questions. – Lee Chenglü's work, published by Youngjin Publishing in Korea, presents a distinctive perspective that is beneficial for Chinese readers to understand the sentiments of Koreans, and is highly recommended. – Song Chengyou The Era of Symbiosis by the author Lee Chenglü proposes his own insights on the establishment of a Northeast Asian free trade zone and how Korea can become a logistics hub for Northeast Asia. – Huang Youfu The symbiotic model elaborated by the author of this book has expanded beyond addressing issues between North and South Korea, now encompassing various problems among all Northeast Asian countries. This can be considered a valuable breakthrough. – Zhang Ying The Era of Symbiosis is filled with a compassionate spirit, presenting wise and philosophical insights. "Establishing a symbiotic world" is a new roadmap for the future development of Korea, the Korean Peninsula, and the entire Northeast Asia. "Symbiosis" refers to the interdependent relationship between people of different ethnicities and nations, where mutual benefit is essential for survival and the absence of such cooperation would lead to mutual loss. Currently, Korea faces diplomatic indecision in its foreign strategy, the Korean Peninsula's nuclear crisis remains unresolved, and Northeast Asia is still plagued by numerous conflicts and divisions. The main reasons lie in the lack of sincerity, love, and mutual trust, as well as the absence of more shared interests between ethnic groups and different nations. Therefore, Northeast Asia needs to create a three-dimensional, coordinated cooperative space—a symbiotic world—where the collaboration of manufacturing, finance, information industries, and culture among nations overlaps and integrates, and where differences in language, culture, religion, and systems are overcome and transcended. By signing a Northeast Asian free trade agreement and constructing a high-speed railway spanning from Tokyo to London across the Eurasian continent, not only can the Korean Peninsula and the entire Northeast Asia achieve revitalization, but it will also bring about significant changes in the global economic and political landscape.
