Suncheon-si, 101st Anniversary of March 1st Movement Commemoration Event Scaled Down
Only Memorial Ceremony and Tribute Conducted Under the Bereaved Families Association's Supervision
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 21st that due to the spread of COVID-19, this year's March 1st Movement anniversary ceremony will be scaled down, and only a memorial rite and tribute will be held under the auspices of the Nagan March 1st Movement Bereaved Families Association.
At the Nagan March 1st Movement Theme Park, flags bearing the names of patriotic martyrs from the Suncheon area who participated in the March 1st Movement will be raised throughout March to honor the noble spirit of independence of our local patriots.
In addition, the heads of towns and townships will personally visit 23 households of independence merit recipients' families to deliver consolation gifts (Suncheon Love gift certificates worth about 200,000 won) and offer comfort.
Although the commemorative event is scaled down, national flags will be displayed along major roads, and through participation in hanging the Taegeukgi in every household, all citizens will be prepared to collectively reflect on the national historical significance of the March 1st Movement.
