From stillness and virtue…comes action. That’s one of the ancient codes of conduct of Korean archery which has been practiced for thousands of years.
行动力来自平静和善，这是韩国数千年来练习射箭人古老的行为准则。

周东永孩童时期住在射箭场附近，常观看人们练习射箭。

[Donghyung Cho, Secretary, Gyeryeong Archery Dao Club]:
“When I was 9 years old, I hoped to do archery like them (archers) so I tried to make a bow and arrow using bamboo and rubber bands.”
也勇射箭之道俱乐部秘书周东永说：“当我九岁的时候，希望能像那些人一样的射箭，所以用竹子及橡皮圈做了弓和箭。”

40 years on, he’s now fulfilling his childhood dream.
四十年了，现在他实现他童年时期的梦想。

[Donghyung Cho, Secretary, Gyeryeong Archery Dao Club]:
“I was really happy when I rediscovered archery. Now I’m playing with the real thing, I have a real bow and arrow like the soldiers of ancient days.”
周东永说：“当我再次发现射箭，真的很高兴，如今我是玩真的，我拥有真的弓和箭，就像古代士兵的弓箭一样。”

He’s been playing for six years now. Cho was so inspired by archery; he convinced his wife to start as well.
至今他已经射箭六年了，周受到射箭的启发，也说服他的太太开始练习。
