A Covered River, Flowing Again — The 70-Year History of Cheonggyecheon.

From the concrete covering and the Cheonggye Elevated Highway built over the shantytowns immediately following the Korean War, to the Peace Market and the labor of Jeon Tae-il, and finally to its restoration after 47 years and the controversy over it being an "artificial stream"—the 70 years of Cheonggyecheon are, in essence, the modern history of South Korea.
