The Discussion On Korean Independence Movement In Jiangsu Province From 1930s To 1940s

As we all know, Japan annexed Korea in 1910 and had slaved millions of Koreans until to the year of 1945 when the World War II ended. During that 35-year-long conquered period, Koreans who were not willing to be the people of a conquered nation had never given up the struggle against Japanese colonial domination all over the world. Some of them exiled to China to continue their fight and the main power of Korean Independence Movement had stayed in today's Jiangsu Province field between 1935 and 1938. It is in this stage that the essay investigates and analyzes party unity, military training, culture and propaganda activities sponsored by Korean revolutionaries .This thesis consists of three parts. The preface reviews the research situation, the significance and the methods of this item.The body is made up of four parts. The first part introduces the situation of Provisional Government Independence Movement launched in China at the beginning of 1930s together with the trouble and difficulty it faced during 1930s~1940s. March First Movement broken out in 1919 in Korea promoted the born of Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai, and the history had seen the beginning of Korean struggle for independence and liberation within the boundaries of China. In the year of 1932, Explosion in Hongkou Park shocked the whole world, making Japan persecute Korean revolutionaries further. Therefore, Korean Independence power had to leave Shanghai for Zhenjiang and Nanjing to continue its fight.The second part discusses Korean parties' union and probes into its characteristics and the reasons. After the July 7 Incident of 1937, Chinese Guomin Dang Government supported Korean Independence Movement openly. Such Chinese authorities' attitude exercised significant influence over the development of Korean Independence Movement in China. Compared with theparty union before 7·7 Incident which achieved little, the party union after the Incident was reasonable and laid good foundation for 1940s' unification.The third part expounds military training activities in Jiangsu. Having independent and powerful military power is essential to achieve the national independence and liberation. Supported secretly by Chinese Guomin Government, the military training held by Korean two party groupings in the former stage of 1930s made great achievement. But because Korean Independence was a taboo for Japan at that time, Korean military training was limited according to the change of Sino-Japan relation.The fourth part mainly studies the resistant activities against Japan held by Korean revolutionaries and common people in the field of culture and propaganda. People from different fields were concerned and different forms of propaganda were implemented. Except party system sponsored refreshing national propaganda by all kinds of means, many scholars and artist were involved such as the great Korean poet Jin Zerong and the musician Zheng Lvcheng.In the end, on the basis of summary, such conclusions are drawn as following: though Korean party groupings acted for refreshing nation on the basis of contradictions and differences and so that the goals they reached was limited very much, they still had taken great initiative to continue their struggle by all possible means and made important achievements in political, military and propaganda movements. The effort in party union laid a rather solid foundation for the later Korean independent powers to realize the great unification. Military training supplied good talent resource for the building of military and nation later. The propaganda activities not only extended the influence of Korean Independence Movement, but also, it promoted the cultural exchange between China and Korea. Any action in these fields was impossible without sympathyand support from China, it also embodied the great China-Korea national friendship. The Korean Independence Movement in Jiangsu was in a special stage to modifying strategy and accumulating power in the whole Independent History, and its position and influence can't be underestimated.
