A Chinese historian has presented fresh research on China-based Korean independence leader Sin Kyu-sik at a symposium in Seoul co-hosted by Gwangbokhoe, the official association for those who fought against Japan\u2019s occupation.<\/p>\n

The academic exchange, which was backed by South Korea\u2019s Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, underscored how a shared legacy of anti-Japanese resistance continues to forge ties between intellectuals from the two countries.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sin, who was born in 1880, was one of many patriots who fled to China after Japan\u2019s annexation of Korea in 1910 and played a crucial role in the fight for his country\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n

According to Sun Kezhi from Fudan University\u2019s history department, Sin was the \u201cchief planner\u201d of the March 1 Movement of 1919, a pivotal overseas uprising against Japanese colonial rule that was triggered by nationwide public demonstrations in Korea.<\/p>\n

The uprising galvanised the independence movement and led directly to the establishment of the Korean Provisional Government (KPG) in Shanghai later that year to coordinate resistance.<\/p>\n

In his presentation on August 11, Sun told the gathering that Sin was also a key figure in the establishment of the KPG, according to a report on Thursday by Shanghai-based media outlet The Paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Chinese historian has presented fresh research on China-based Korean independence leader Sin Kyu-sik at a symposium in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49976,549,12,2545,49977,49973,8,17,49975,49978,49974,6219,49979,657,49980,49972],"class_list":["post-77945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-an-jung-geun-memorial-hall","tag-beijing","tag-china","tag-fudan-university","tag-gwangbokhoe","tag-harbin","tag-japan","tag-japanese","tag-korean-provisional-government","tag-march-1-movement","tag-republic-of-korea","tag-shanghai","tag-sin-kyu-sik","tag-south-korea","tag-sun-kezhi","tag-wuchang-uprising"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
