Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of Korean Liberation: An Exhibition of Anti-Japanese Heritage at Deoksugung Palace
Opening Ceremony of the Special Exhibition for the 80th Anniversary of Korean Liberation (2025)
Visiting Deoksugung Palace's Dondeokjeon Hall to see the 'Exhibition of Anti-Japanese Heritage Imbued with Light.'
The plaza in front of City Hall across the street is bustling with preparations for the commemorative event.
By joining the National Trust for Cultural Heritage and making a donation, you can gain free admission to cultural heritage sites such as the royal palaces, Boseong Inn, and the house where poet Yi Sang lived.
When I said I came to see the cultural heritage exhibition, I was told that Seokjojeon Hall requires a reservation for entry. Momentarily taken aback, we continued walking down the left path since our destination was Dondeokjeon Hall.
Here it is, Dondeokjeon Hall, where the exhibition is being held. It's a beautiful Dutch-style stone building.
Introduction to the Anti-Japanese Heritage Imbued with Light:
Yi Wan-yong - 'So what? Japan can take over the sovereignty of the Korean Empire.'
Military officer Min Yeong-hwan committed suicide when his country was being taken away, and it is said that a blood bamboo (Juk) grew at the site.
Joseon, which the Eulsa Traitors sold off as if it were their own, did not belong to them. The righteous armies rose up in indignation, lamenting that there was nowhere to die even if they wanted to.
Manifesto of the Righteous Army Against Japan:
Documents managed as part of the Japanese blacklist contain records of independent righteous armies.
General Hwang Sun-il of the Righteous Army:
"If the people do not have the military, what can they believe in, and if the military does not have the people, what can they rely on?"
- The nation has been defended by leaders with purpose and ability, and by the people.
1919 February 8 Declaration of Independence by Korean students in Tokyo:
I realized that young intellectuals who were thought to be living comfortably abroad had bravely risen up first.
Key Surveillance Targets of the Japanese Imperialism:
It breaks my heart to see the cheerful Ahn Chang-ho先生 wasting away in prison.
I feel sorry for the youthful martyr Yu Gwan-sun.
Hidden and Preserved:
Lee Dong-nyeong, Son Jeong-do
Hong Jin, Kim In-jeon
Jo So-ang
I was overwhelmed with emotion seeing the original Malmoe.
Yun Bong-gil, the Lunch Box Bomb thrower, was also involved in a rural enlightenment movement.
The fruits of each of these efforts created independence and liberation.
