Geocache Description:


Yu Gwan-Sun (March 15, 1904-October 12, 1920) was a student and organizer in what
would come to be known as the March First Movement against the Japanese occupation
of Korea in the South Chungcheong.

In 1919, Yu Kwan-Sun was a student at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, where
she witnessed the beginnings of the March 1st Movement. Her deep faith in God
and the teachings from the Methodist Ehwa School gave her the courage to act boldly.

The school went into recess, because of an order by the Japanese government to close
all Korean schools. Yu Gwan-sun returned to her home in the Jiryeong village.

There, along with her family, she began to attempt to arouse public feeling against
the Japanese occupation. She also planned a demonstration for independence,
which included people from some neighboring towns, Yeongi, Chungju, and Jincheon,

The demonstration was scheduled to start on the First lunar day of March 1919 at 9:00 a.m.
in Aori Marketplace.

She, along with about 2,000 demonstrators, shouted, "대한 독립 만세" (Daehan Dokrip Manse),
which translates to "Long live Korean Independence!"

She was given a national burial in 1962.
