An Jung geun Memorial Hall 안중근의사기념관 in Seoul, South Korea
An Jung-guen is one of Korea's great heroes, assassinating Ito Hirobumi during the nation's lose of sovereignty under Japanese Imperial Rule. To commemorate his passionate patriotism, the An Jung-geun Memorial Hall was established in 1970 at the old site of Joseon Singung which is the symbol of the Japanese colonial rule. Later the memorial hall was newly built in 2010, shaped like twelve glass pillars combined together, symbolizing the partnerships.

China builds a memorial hall for a Korean patriot Ahn Jung-geun
A memorial hall honoring one of Korea's most famous independence fighters has opened in northeastern China.
This development is likely to aggravate Korea and China's already frosty relations with Japan.
Shin Se-min has more.
A memorial hall honoring Korean patriot Ahn Jung-geun has opened in the northeastern Chinese city of Harbin.
The city's railway station is where, in 1909, Ahn shot and killed Hirobumi Ito,... who had served as the prime minister of Japan FOUR times before becoming resident-general of Korea in 1905.
The memorial hall consists of exhibition rooms telling the story of Ahn's life, and shows the exact spot where the shooting took place.
The facility was built after President Park Geun-hye brought up the idea of creating a monument for Ahn during her meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last June.
Hailed as a hero in Korea and China, Ahn is considered a murderer by many Japanese.
Tokyo had asked Beijing to scrap plans to build the memorial.
In the meantime, Beijing and Tokyo continue to be at each other's throats over a variety of issues, including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent visit to the Yasukuni war shrine which honors Japan's war dead, as well as several Class A war criminals.
Japan's ambassador to the U.S. fired the latest salvo, accusing China of a misled campaign that falsely portrays Abe as glorifying Tokyo's militaristic past.
Both Japan and China have come under international scrutiny in recent months.
Japan for Abe's Yasukuni visit, and China for its recent demarcation of a new air defense zone over a disputed area of the East China Sea.
Seoul and Beijing have condemned Japanese politicians' visits to the Yasukuni Shrine and for Tokyo's refusal to apologize for the nation's wartime atrocities.

Arirang Special - M60Ep242C01 The Untold Story_Ahn Jung-geun On peace in East Asia
Arirang Special M60Ep242
Ahn Jung-geun On peace in East Asia
The Chinese government opened a memorial hall at Harbin Railway Station for a Korean patriot Ahn Jung-geun on Jan. 19, 2014, fueling heated debated on a historic events that had taken place more than a century ago.
On the fated day, Oct. 26, 1903, patriot Ahn Jung-geun shot and killed the heady of the Japanese Privy Council Ito Hirobumi on a platform at the Harbin Railway Station. Ahn gave himself up on sight without any resistance. Japan labeled him a terrorist, but, in fact, he was the Lieutenant General of the Korea's Righteous Army and a true pan-Asianist, working for peace in East Asia. His grand idea remains guidance for the future in the region.
Arirang Special takes us back to 100 years, a critical moment in history for Korea, China and Japan, and reviews the action of Ahn Jung-geun. So was he a terrorist as Japan claim, or an independence activist fighting for his country and a visionary of peace in East Asia?
Chapter 1: In great concern over the national security
Ito Hirobumi boasted himself as being a protector of peace. However, Ahn Jung-geun revealed different side to Ito, listing 15 reasons how Ito was disrupting peace in East Asia. In fact, Japan was in the process of colonizing Korea through wars with China (the Sino-Japanese War) and Russia (the Russo-Japanese War). Ahn had logically formed his cases.
Chapter 2: A person with a noble reason is not afraid to give up one's life to do the right thing.
Ahn Jung-geun was born in Hwanghae-do, north of the Korean Peninsula, in 1879. He realized early on in his life the importance of equality and worked to educate his people of its importance. He decided to be part of the Korea's Righteous Army to fight against Japanese imperialism and ranked lieutenant general. There he severed his finger to pledge loyalty and decided to take action against Ito Hirobumi.
Chapter 3: Unless reading everyday, thorns grow in the mouth
Ahn Jung-geun tried to tell the people at the trial of deceptive Japanese acts. The trial was almost scripted by Japan and Ahn was sentenced to death, but he wasn't disturbed and carried on with his duty. As he was waiting for the sentence to be carried out, Ahn wrote On Peace in East Asia to describe this thoughts on how peace should be achieved in the region, such as Korea, China and Japan forming a community of politics, economy and culture. His idea, which is the likes of the EU, is evidently different from the ideas Ito Hirobumi wanted to realize, which is making Japan the leader in East Asia. Ahn was ahead of his time.
Chapter 4: It is the duty of the soldier to dedicate his life for the country.
Ahn Jung-geun faced his death proudly and moved many, including Japanese prison guards who were with him until the end. Ahn's mother supported his action and said it was his duty as a Korean to dedicate his life for the country.
On Mar. 26, 1910, Ahn was executed at the age of 31, but his death didn't end in vain. Until the end, he only prayed for his country's independence and peace in East Asia and even now, Ahn's spirit still lives on.

Ahn-Jung-Geun played an important role in terms of independence of South Korea. Here's a candle in memorial of him.

The warm afternoon sunlight of the autumn season in Seoul is great for a stroll.
Hoehyeon-dong is a neighborhood located just below Namsan.
Unlike Myeong-dong, which is across the street, it is a quiet and simple place.

After you enjoy nature on the walk up Namsan Mountain,
you can also visit Patriot An Jung Geun Memorial Hall.
It is a great place to experience history and take relaxing walks.
As you continue down the path, you will be able to visit Baekbeom Square
and allow you to see a unique scenery,
where the past and present seem to coexist in the middle of the city.
The nearby Namdaemun Market, which is the oldest and largest market in Korea,
has, on average, 300,000 visitors daily and sells just about everything.
Anything from colorful jewelry to unique items are sold here.
If you're curious, you can always try it out while receiving a friendly explanation.
You can also find delicious food at the Namdaemun Market.
One popular menu item is the 'hoettoek'.
Close to the Namdaemun Market is the Hoehyeon Underground Shopping Center.
This shopping center is filled with nostalgic objects that will remind you of the past.
You can find well-thumbed books, memorable records,
as well as stamps and currency from all over the world.
The Canadian Ambassador, who takes interest in Korean history,
occasionally comes upon a find at the stamp shop.
Turning back the hands of time in a bustling city,
Hoehyeon-dong is a neighborhood of nostalgia.
Why not see a different side of Seoul by visiting a treasure trove
that's filled with analog sensibility in the city?

Pope's Visit to Korea - Rise Up in Splendor
Part 2: New Challenges for the Korean Catholic Church
After the opening of ports, Korea's history begins with the exploitation of imperialism. During the turbulent time of Japanese colonization, Catholics devoted themselves to carrying out their mission. Seo Sang-don searched for solutions to recover the economy and repay the national debt, Ahn Joong-geun desired to salvage his country by assassinating Ito Hirobumi, the main instigator of Japanese imperialism. After Korea attained liberation, the Korean Catholic Church matured once more as it underwent the religious oppression of communism. At the same time, the Second Vatican Council was held which emphasized the service and mission of the Catholic Church. Through Pope Francis's visit to Korea, the Korean Catholic Church looks back upon the turbulent modern history and reflects on the needs of the society.

China pushes to unearth remains of Korean independent fighter / YTN
China has been independently pushing to unearth the remains of Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-Geun who is said to be buried in northast China.
China has been unsuccessful in its search in an area located north of Lushun prison in China's northeastern port city of Dalian, known to locals as a grave for Korean independent fighters including Ahn.
The Chinese search is known to have started two months after the South Korean government's unsuccessful expedition in 2008 in nearby sites.
At that time, a picture owned by the daughter of the then head of the Lushun prison was used by the Korean government to guess the whereabouts of Ahn's remains.
Seoul officials say that as a respected figure in China as well, Beijing may have an interest in enshrining Ahn, one of Korea's most-respected independence fighters.
In 1909, when Korea was on the brink of annexation by Japan, Ahn assassinated then Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi at the then Harbin railway station.
