Long live Korea! Long live Korea! Bang Bang. Korea lost its freedom at 1910 and was ruled by Japan for 36 years. People all over Korea shouted for independence but many of them were killed by Japanese. They were shot to death, regardless of age or gender. How brutal! Many patriots and freedom fighters including 유관순 and 한용운 were imprisoned. Many people died of hunger, disease, and coldness in the stuffy prison cells. They got a little amount of food for a day and they were tortured. There were 93 ways of torturing and the main 3 were box torturing, electronic torturing, and nail torturing. For box torturing, they put the person in a small box which has nails in it and then they shaked it so that the nails were all stuck in the body. For nail torturing they drew the tooth out forcefully with pincers. But our freedom fighters resisted to the end and died. The most famous person that died in the 서대문 prison is 유관순. She was a student at the Ehwa Women’s school. She leaded the March 1st movement which was held in Pagoda Park and she was imprisoned. She still protested for the independence of Korea in the prison. Therefore she received harsh beatings and torturing so she died in the age of 18. The Japanese first tried not to give 유관순’s corpse but after a foreign teacher in Ehwa Women’s school demanded to give it they gave it but the corpse was cut in slices and there were traces of torturing everywhere. How could they do this! She was only shouting for her nation’s independence! I realized that we should get an apology for that but Japanese aren’t even apologizing. I hope we get it soon and make the sacrifices of patriots worthy. |
