He also interacted with Sun Wen and Kim Ok-kyun, and in Miyazaki's book "The Dream of the 33rd Year," which supported the 1911 Revolution, he wrote about Kim Ok-kyun as follows.
------------------
The news of Kim Ok-kyun's murder surprised the whole of Japan.
The problem is that the assassination of Kim Ok-kyun by Cheong Wa Dae and North Korea caused an unexpected storm of anger throughout Japan.As a result, the war between Japan and China began to break out due to the spread of the Donghak Party's rebellion in Honam, North Korea.
Kim Ok-kyun's official funeral at Asakusa Honganji was cut off on August 1, 1954.In the meantime, the chorus of "Shoot, punish, and clean up" quickly burst into the war between Japan and China for a little over two months.

Kim Ok - kyun and Lee Joseon Kim Ok-kyun, not Ahn Jung-geun, was the hero if you think about the world at that time.If he had defeated Lee and laid the way for modernization, he would have become a Sun Yat-sen of the Korean Peninsula.Kim Ok-kyun was assassinated in Shanghai, but Queen Min feared that the Joseon dynasty would be overthrown.
The assassination took place on March 28, 1894.The Sino-Japanese War broke out on July 25, 1894, and less than half a year later, Qing, who supported Queen Min, was defeated by Japan and the Korean Peninsula became a protectorate of Japan.The Korean Peninsula failed to shed its former dynastic state.It was impossible to modernize while taking over the old Joseon Dynasty.Far from staying, the world trend has accelerated, and the Joseon dynasty has not changed a bit.
It was Seo Jae-pil, Kim Ok-kyun's brother, who celebrated the independence of his motherland.It has nothing to do with the Joseon Dynasty or the Korean Empire.
Japan contributes to other countries' World Heritage Sites.Seokguram, which Korea claims Japan destroyed, is registered as a World Heritage Site.
Regarding the Moai statue on Easter Island, there is also a Moai statue in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.It looks like Japan built a replica of the Moai statue on its own, but it was a Japanese company that restored the Moai statue on Easter Island.The restoration listed Rapanyi National Park on Easter Island as a World Heritage Site.In return, Japan was allowed the reproduction of the Moai statue.
There is a bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam.In 1593, Japanese who lived in a Japanese town built a bridge.It is popular among Vietnamese as Nihonbashi.Young Vietnamese couples take wedding photos in front of the bridge.Hoi An, where this bridge is located, has been listed as a World Heritage Site.
There is Seokguram in Korea.It was discovered by a postman in 1909 during delivery.Since 1915, the Japanese have been repairing buildings that are about to collapse.After the end of Japanese rule, Korea restored it again in 1961, but Korea rearranged them into its own arrangement and they said the reason was Japan arranged Buddha statues in a random way.Afterwards, the photos and detailed layout of Seokguram were found and it became clear that japanese arrangement was correct. But Korea said, "Seokguram was perfectly preserved for more than 1,000 years, but Japan was jealous and damaged it with cement and concrete."Seokguram was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995.
Seokguram was just an abandoned ruin until Japan restored it.
The forced labor issue is one that recognizes the annexation of Japan and South Korea as an illegal act and allows claims for compensation for forced labor.
Korean Ambassador to Japan proposes subrogation payment
Is it an unpaid wage issue or a tort issue?
Past tort disputes
There are no actual cases in which a tort has been recognized under international law
Mr. Yun Deok-min, who has been appointed as the Korean ambassador to Japan under the newly inaugurated Yun Seok-Yeong administration, seems to be proposing a plan for the South Korean government to make subrogation payments regarding the issue of conscripted labor. has two completely different points. The issues are ``unpaid wages'' and ``illegal acts.''
One is the issue of ``unpaid wages,'' which arose during discussions in the Japan-Korea Claims Agreement when Koreans moved to the Korean peninsula immediately after the war, or when Japanese companies moved from the Korean peninsula.
This was included in the 1965 agreement as post-war compensation, and the South Korean side received it, and even after that, under the Lu Moo-hyun administration, the South Korean government continued to compensate the unpaid wages of conscripted workers as included in the 1965 agreement. Going .
The current issue of conscripted labor is that the conscription itself is forced labor, which is illegal under international law, and is an anti-humanitarian act directly connected to illegal colonial rule and the waging of a war of aggression. This is a ``claim for compensation'' based on a unilateral decision made by the Supreme Court.
This is also the issue of forced to work (requisition recognized under international law) or forced labor (forced labor not recognized under international law), which was disputed when Gunkanjima was applied for as a World Heritage Site. It goes without saying that the National General Mobilization Order applies equally to all citizens and is a legal form of forced to work under international law.The use of forced to work in the registration of Gunkanjima as a UNESCO World Heritage Site also allowed the South Korean side to has also agreed.
No international military tribunal has ever been held on the Korean peninsula since the end of the war, and there has never been a single case of a war criminal on the Korean peninsula, and no one has been tried as a war criminal. There is no fact that the annexation of Japan and South Korea is illegal, nor is there a single fact that the forced recruitment related to recruitment has been recognized as illegal under international law.
In other words, the key point in the current issue of forced labor is that the South Korean Supreme Court ruled that it was an illegal act without any basis or reference to international law. In this sense, Yoon Deok-min uses the expression "subrogated payment," but it seems quite strange. This is because the illegality of conscription and the annexation of Japan and South Korea itself does not exist.
The limits of the industrial revolution and modernization on the Korean Peninsula - At the time of the annexation, the Korean Peninsula lacked everything.
In 1805, the Korean Confucian scholar Jeong Dong-yu listed sheep, wheels, and needles as things that did not exist on the Korean peninsula. The wheel refers to the technology that transforms and processes wood, and the needle refers to the precision processing of metal. At that time, there was no technology to make wheels on the Korean peninsula, so cargo was carried on the backs of oxen or carried on the shoulders or heads of people. The needle also needed to have a sharp metal tip and a hole in the back for the thread to pass through, and these items were ordered from China.
Isabel Bird, who traveled to the Korean peninsula four times in three years from 1894 to 1897, said, ``The road to Seoul was so narrow that cattle could not pass each other, and it was like a maze.'' It's just a passage," he wrote. It can be seen from this that there were no vehicles with more than two horizontal wheels.
The industrial revolution produced large machines and produced goods in large quantities. Wood processing technology and metal processing technology are essential to making industrial machinery. Distribution is then needed to transport the products to each region. Vehicles that transport raw materials and products need roads to begin with. In order to communicate work processes to workers and create manufacturing records, workers must be able to read and write. Without a monetary economy, products cannot be manufactured or traded. At that time, the Korean peninsula did not have everything necessary for the industrial revolution.
Japan introduced industrial machinery, cars, roads, school education, etc. to the Korean Peninsula. The class system was abolished, slaves were freed, and a mobile labor force was created. This gave rise to mass production, wide-area distribution, and a monetary economy in which money and goods were exchanged. This is the industrial revolution and modernization that Japan brought to the Korean Peninsula.
The truth about the annexation of Japan and Korea - The Joseon Dynasty was unable to become independent - 15 years from the Sino-Japanese War to the annexation of Japan and Korea.
Learning about the history of a short period makes it clear
King flees less than a year after independence
Need mawashi for the return of Koso
The founding of the Korean Empire and the Russo-Japanese War
Restrict Korean sovereignty
Japan-Korea annexation
The Joseon Dynasty that lacked independence ~ The Korean Empire
If you look at the history of only 15 years from the Treaty of Shimonoseki to the annexation of Japan and Korea, you can clearly see that Japan did not violently take away the independence of the Korean Peninsula. Japan supported #independence on the Korean peninsula and ultimately gave up on it. This is the historical truth.
Treaty of Shimonoseki (April 1895): The Korean peninsula became an independent nation as a result of the peace treaty resulting from the Sino-Japanese War. Shunseimon Incident (November 1895): An incident in which pro-Russian pro-Russian leader Lee Beon-jin plotted to assassinate Prime Minister Kim Hong-ji. Roguan Banseong (February 1896): An incident in which Gojong, the head of state, fled to the Russian legation, fearing for his safety due to the conflict within Korea following the Shunshomon Incident. Less than a year after independence, they renounced their sovereignty.
Komura-Weber Agreement (May 1896): Japan and Russia jointly supervise the internal affairs of Korea, and as a condition for Gojong, who is currently in the Russian legation, to return to the palace, the number of Japanese and Russian troops to be stationed, etc. We have arranged. Yamagata-Lobanov Agreement (June 1896): Guarantee of Korean independence between Japan and Russia, promotion of financial reform in Korea, organization of modern police and military, telegraph An agreement was made to hold the line.
Establishment of the Korean Empire (1897): Gojong was able to return to Gyeongun Palace on the premise of an agreement between Japan and Russia. He changed the country's name to the Korean Empire and called himself Emperor. Although it means being on the same level as Japan and China, Japan approves of this. Earn of the Russo-Japanese War (1904): Russia's interests in the Korean Peninsula continued to expand, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out.
First Japan-Korea Treaty (1904): The Korean government appointed a person recommended by the Japanese government to serve as the Korean government's financial and diplomatic advisor. Second Japan-Korea Treaty (1905): An agreement in which Japan deprived South Korea of its diplomatic rights and established South Korea as a protectorate, including the establishment of a supervisor. The Hague Emissary Incident: (1907): An incident in which Gojong dispatched an emissary to an international conference in The Hague in the Netherlands, but was unable to meet with representatives of any country. The conference recognized Japan's jurisdiction over the Korean Peninsula.
The annexation of Japan and Korea was approved by the cabinet (July 1909): The Katsura Cabinet approved the ``Policy to carry out the annexation of Korea at an appropriate time and outline of facilities for Korea''. Assassination of Hirobumi Ito (October 1909): Hirobumi Ito was assassinated at Harbin Station. Japan-Korea annexation (August 1910): Japan and Korea were annexed by the "Treaty on Annexation of Korea."
To summarize the above trends, Japan fought the Sino-Japanese War and made the Korean Peninsula an independent nation. He even made arrangements for the head of state who had fled to the Russian legation to return to Korea, leading to the establishment of the Korean Empire, which was given the name of an empire on a par with Japan and China.
Even so, Russia's advance southward could not be stopped at all, and the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Japanese factions in Korea continued. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan judged that the Korean Peninsula could no longer be independently governed and began to restrict its authority. With the backing of pro-Japanese groups such as Isshinkai, Junshu concluded a treaty of annexation of Japan and Korea.
