[Grassroots Movements Across Korea: The Fight for Independence]
1) The Anseong Independence Movement
The Anseong Independence Movement was part of the broader March 1st Movement, a nationwide protest against Japanese occupation that began in the Anseong region of Gyeonggi Province. In Anseong, local residents took to the streets waving the Taegukgi (Korean national flag) and demanding independence. This movement was not just a local affair; it ignited a strong sense of national unity and resistance across the country.
2) The Suwon Farmers’ Movement
The Suwon Farmers’ Movement was a significant uprising during the Japanese colonial period, in which farmers in Suwon fought against exploitation and land confiscation by the Japanese authorities. This movement played a crucial role in the broader struggle for independence, symbolizing the determination of the Korean people to protect their land and sovereignty.
3) The Icheon Mass Protest
The Icheon Mass Protest was another powerful demonstration of the Korean people’s desire for freedom. Residents of Icheon gathered in large numbers to resist Japanese oppression and assert their will for independence.
This protest was a bold declaration of resistance in the face of overwhelming odds.
[The Heroes of Korean Independence]
An Jung-geun is one of the most revered figures in Korea’s independence movement.
On October 26, 1909, he assassinated Itō Hirobumi, a prominent Japanese statesman, in Harbin,
China. This act of resistance was a turning point in the fight against Japanese imperialism,
and An Jung-geun’s courage and sacrifice continue to inspire people today.
[The Joy of Liberation]
What did it feel like to hear the news of Korea’s liberation? How did people react?
On August 15, 1945, Korea was finally freed from Japanese colonial rule. Imagine families gathering around radios, eagerly listening for news, or hearing the joyous cries of neighbors as the word spread. People likely poured into the streets to share in the collective joy of liberation, celebrating the end of a long and painful era.
