Hi my name is Seo Hyun Lee. Today, I went
to war memorial of Korea. It was a wonderful place. Actually, I don't like to
go to museum. But, war memorial of Korea was different. It had many interesting
things and statues. One of it was Ahn Junggeun statue. It was really sepicific
that it looks like real person. Today, I want to talk about who is Ahn
Junggeun.
Ahn Junggeun was freedom fighter on Japan
colonization time. Ahn Junggeun was a member of righteous army in Manchuria. He
fought against Japan about 30 times. Isn¡¯t it amazing?
Also, he was one of the member of finger cutting league. They pledged that they
would give up their lives for independence of Korea. He had effort for Korea's
independence. One of the things he did was shooting Ito Hirobumi. He was
governor-general of Japan who did lots of bad things to Korea like killing
empress Myeong Seong. On 1909, Ito Hirobumi got 6 shots by Ahn Junggeun in
Harbin. Ahn Junggeun was captured and exacuted.
I think Ahn Junggeun is really brave. He
could appeal and live. But, he chose die because it can cause Korean citizen's
anger and many people would resist to Japan.
There are so
many freedom fighters. Some like Ahn Junggeun announced the name. But, most of
the freedom fighters and righteous army members were not announced and died
because of Japan. We should remember them and and thank to them.
I didn't felt
anything about war before I go war memorial of Korea. War memorial of Korea is
good place to go. So, I hope you to visit here. Thank you for reading my long
essay.
