Subject Creating a theme garden to commemorate the March 1 Independence Movement in Sangil-dong

The theme garden is decorated in the form of an open park frequented by residents while honoring the historical meaning of the March 1st Movement. In the future, it will be used as a venue for history education for teenagers and others.

The March 1st Movement in Sangil-ri.

On March 27, 1919, the Gucheon-myeon, Dongbu-myeon, and Seobu-myeon, Gwangju-gun, adjacent to Seoul, were influenced by Seoul, raising beacon fires at night and holding independence demonstrations during the day. The demonstration began on the streets of Gucheon-myeon(It is now Gangdong-gu.). As many as 500 protesters went through Seongnae-ri Gokgyo-ri, Amsari, and Myeongil-ri. Around the evening, more than 1,000 people gathered in Sangil-ri, where the military police residence was located. Kim Kyung-bae(32 years old) of Sangil-ri stood at the forefront and shouted ‘Hurrah! The independence of Korea!’ The military police put a gun in Kim Kyung-bae's mouth and fired. Kim Kyung-bae was not killed, but was seriously injured. An Jong-hyeon of Gambuk-ri, Seobu-myeon(56 years old) and Choi Cheon-seong of Gam-ri(23 years old) died and two people were injured. Lee Dae-heon, head of Gyosan-ri(36 years old), Dongbu-myeon, Kim Kyo-young, head of Mangwol-ri(62 years old), Kim Hong-ryul, a farmer of Pungsan-ri(34 years old), and Koo Hee-seo, Gamil-ri, Seobu-myeon(47 years old), were arrested and jailed for a year or a year and a half. Sangil-ri Kim Kyung-bae testified to the March 1 Independence Movement at Sangil Elementary School until he passed away at the age of 61 in 1948. People respected him by calling him Mansechambong.
