An chonggen Memorial

An chonggen memorial hall, including the exhibition room of an chonggen's deeds and the logo of the place where an chonggen killed ITO Bowen, is funded by Harbin municipal government and Harbin Railway Bureau, and managed by Harbin municipal government and Harbin Railway Bureau.

Due to the reconstruction of Harbin railway station, Harbin anzhonggen memorial hall was relocated to No. 85-1, Ansheng street, Daoli District, Harbin city. It opened on March 19, 2017.

Pavilion structure

An chonggen memorial hall, a memorial hall built in China and reconstructed by the waiting room, covers an area of more than 100 square meters, including an exhibition room for the deeds of an chonggen's volunteers and the logo of the place where an chonggen killed ITO Bowen.

On one end of the memorial hall, two French windows face the platform of the railway station. On the platform, two positions with a distance of less than five steps are marked, on which "the place where an chonggen killed ITO Bowen" is hung.

From carrying out the patriotic cultural enlightenment movement through running a school to abandoning the pen and joining the army to join the Anti Japanese movement in Northeast China and the Far East of Russia, the exhibition hall gives a detailed graphic display of an chonggen's family, personal experience and the process of killing Ito's blog.

On the middle wall of the exhibition hall, there is a row of calligraphy printed with ink palmprint, which was written by an chonggen in prison. On February 7, 1909, he cut off a joint of his ring finger and vowed to "restore the independence of Korea". The palm seal of his ring finger is his unique seal, which has been inscribed in calligraphy for hundreds of years and is still shocking.

People on display

An chonggen was born in 1879 in the present-day Haizhou area of the south of the Yellow Sea in Korea. He is a famous independent activist in the modern history of the Korean Peninsula. After the Sino Japanese War of 1894, Japan accelerated its invasion and annexation of the Korean Peninsula. An chonggen first carried out the patriotic cultural enlightenment movement by running a school, then abandoned his pen and went to the northeast of China and the Far East of Russia to join the Anti Japanese movement.

In October 1909, an chonggen killed ITO Bowen, former Japanese Prime Minister, speaker of the Privy Council, and the first "Korean unified supervisor" at Harbin railway station. An chonggen was arrested at the scene and secretly executed by the Japanese occupation authorities in Lushun prison in March of the next year.

Opening of exhibition hall

In June 29, 2013, the president of Korea, when he visited China, mentioned that he was a historical figure who respected the people of both Korea and China. He hoped that China could erect the monument to Harbin's People's Republic of China. President Xi Jinping of the park said he would instruct the relevant departments to cooperate.

On November 19, 2013, the Ministry of foreign affairs of China said that it would actively promote the construction of the monument, saying that "an chonggen is a famous Anti Japanese volunteer in history and respected in China.".

On the afternoon of January 19, 2014, an chonggen Memorial Hall at Harbin railway station held an opening ceremony. The memorial hall includes an exhibition room for the deeds of an chonggen's volunteers and a logo for the location where an chonggen killed ITO

On April 22, 2014, an chonggen Memorial Hall in the northeast city of Harbin is becoming a new place for Chinese and Korean people to review history. The memorial hall announced that in less than 100 days since its opening, it has received more than 50000 tourists from various countries.

For China and South Korea, it is also of practical significance to work together to build a new sculpture. In the past few months, the progress of China ROK relations has been more remarkable than in the past few years. John delury, a historian at Yonsei University in Seoul, said, "the most neglected development in Northeast Asia is the rapid warming of China South Korea relations." In October, Xi Jinping met with Park Geun hye again, in Indonesia. Xi Jinping urged China and South Korea to continue their efforts in establishing bilateral free trade.

Japanese officials called an chonggen a criminal to protest against the practices of China and South Korea. For the Japanese, ITO Bowen is an outstanding figure. He is the designer of the Meiji Constitution. A spokesman for the Japanese government said the move to build a statue in China to commemorate an chonggen would not help Japan South Korea relations in any way. But that may be what South Korea means.

Social evaluation

On the afternoon of January 19, 2014, the an chonggen Memorial Hall at Harbin railway station officially opened. South Korea said that park Geun hye's proposal has received a positive response from the Chinese side. The Chinese side has established a higher standard Memorial Hall this time, which reflects the consensus of China and South Korea on the issue of historical understanding of Japan. South Korean Foreign Ministry officials said on the 19th that the South Korean government welcomed and highly praised the completion of an chonggen Memorial Hall in Harbin, China.

On January 19, 2014, Junichiro Ishihara, director of the Asian Affairs Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of foreign affairs, also called the Korean and Chinese embassies in Japan respectively to express regret for the opening of the memorial hall of the volunteers.

On the morning of January 20, 2014, Japanese government spokesman and Chief Cabinet Secretary Kan Yiwei protested to South Korea and China on this matter at a regular press conference, and called an chonggen a "terrorist".
