Living in a busy society, we can easily think that national days are just days off from school or work. But we should not forget the significance of the 100th anniversary of the Korean Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the meaning it holds. Especially, as university students living in Korea, we should remember the sacrifice and determination of our ancestors who were more aware of such social issues. Understanding the significance will be a great opportunity for more and more people to remember and celebrate that time. You might wonder why the establishment of the Korean Provisional Government took place in Shanghai, not in Korea. However, the more we do, the more we should be interested in finding independence activists who worked hard in such remote areas. If you have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, we recommend that you visit the former Korean Provisional. But, of course, there are many other historical relics and memorials in honor of independence activists in addition to the Shanghai the Korean Provisional Government. For example, in Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, there is a reproduction of the Korean Provisional Government of Shanghai. Regardless of whether it is abroad or domestic, it is also meaningful to visit places where we can commemorate the March 1st Independence Movement and the establishment of the Korean Provisional Government to pay tribute to the spirit of the patriots who dedicated their lives to our country from a foreign land. Further, at this point in time, we must follow the spirit of these ancestors and be able to take action to lead the righteous interests of individuals or nations. It can be an individual in society or a nation who can help a country in need. It can be the significance of this centennial to make us realize that we should do what we can do for each other, whether small or big.
