[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ki-woon] The Shinan-gun Scholarship Foundation announced on the 10th that it provided 18 middle and high school students in the district with an opportunity to explore the historical sites of the Provisional Government scattered in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China, from the 4th to the 8th.

This historical exploration was prepared through a designated donation by Kim Jae-heon, CEO of Sekyung S&T, and matching funds from the scholarship foundation to inherit the significance of the 100th anniversary of the March 1st Movement and the anti-Japanese independence movement of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.

The participating students visited the Yun Bong-gil assassination site, renamed Lu Xun Park, the Hongkou Park, and the refuge of Kim Gu in Jiaxing, depicted as the historic first meeting place of Kim Won-bong, who led the Uiyeoldan in the movie Assassination, and Kim Gu. They then toured independence movement sites extending to Hangzhou and Nanjing.

The students said, "Visiting the Provisional Government sites and Kim Gu's refuge allowed us to understand how urgent and harsh the situation was at that time, and it felt like stepping into a historical scene." They added, "Although it was tiring to walk a lot, it was a 4-night, 5-day trip where we could learn more deeply and vividly about the great figures like Lee Bong-chang, Yun Bong-gil, Shin Gyu-sik, and Kim Cheol, whom we had only studied through textbooks."

Chairman Park Woo-ryang said, "Through this historical exploration, I hope that the spirit of our ancestors who risked their lives to regain lost territory and sovereignty will be honored, history remembered, and wisdom gained to move toward an era of peace."
