Those who are determined to die will live, and those who seek to live will die.
Who he was
Yi Sun-sin led the navy of Joseon Korea against the Japanese invasions of 1592 to 1598. With armoured turtle ships and a disciplined fleet he won battle after battle and cut the invaders’ supply lines by sea.
Dismissed and jailed after court intrigue, he was brought back in 1597 and, at Myeongnyang, beat a Japanese fleet of more than a hundred ships with thirteen. A bullet killed him at the battle of Noryang in 1598, the war’s last great sea battle.
