In the summer of 1989, thousands of people from various nations and beliefs gathered in North Korea for a grand student festival that championed peace, friendship, and anti-imperialism. Entangled in the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War, the festival, over its 42-year history, became a cultural battleground where youth from the West, socialist states, and developing countries converged. At the same time, it served as a rare opportunity to experience diverse cultures in a world divided by borders and ideologies--a common space where young people debated humanity's future. Though primarily political, addressing issues like nuclear disarmament, environmental protection, women and students' rights, social justice, and above all, peace, the festival also took place at a pivotal moment in history. Behind the celebration, a crucial shift was on the horizon, signaling the end of an era.
