"Our sacrifice is conscious: redemption to pay the liberty that we are building. Our way is long, and partially unknown; we know our limit. We will support the men of the 21st century: ourselves."Ernesto "Che" Guevara has really become a legend. Lots of people remember him or get to know him. He participates in every manifestation against the corrupted governments, and the rebels still say the words that he once pronounced: "Hasta la victoria siempre (Ever onward to victory)".
There are lots of words, such as those just mentioned, that we will never forget, such as the following:
"No matter where death can get us, it will be welcome if our cries are listened, and if other hands are ready to grip our weapons, while other men raise to sing the mournful canticle in the middle of the fire of our machine guns and the numerous cries of war and victory."
Ernesto "Che" Guevara's will:
"Our sacrifice is conscious: redemption to pay the liberty that we are building. Our way is long, and partially unknown; we know our limit. We will support the men of the 21st century: ourselves."
Apart of all these wise words, we also remember him because of all the popularity and publicity that he has gained. Everywhere we go we can find lots of books, T-shirts, pens, watches, pins, cups, videos, and even skiing equipment, beer and coffee.
So now, after this brief walk around the life of the man who died to see Latin America freed, we know why he is so famous.
