[전국]The centenary of his death of Yu Gwan-soon …

[앵커]

100 years have passed since the death of Yu Gwan-soon, the ‘Independent Hero’, passed away.

The photo taken on a shroud in Seodaemun Prison is the best known.

A photograph was found in the archives of a university in the United States that was supposed to be 13 years old and a girl.

This is Lee Moon-seok’s reporter.

You can see the unfamiliar faces among the girls who wear hanbok.

The girl with her mouth closed and looking at the camera.

Yu Gwan-soon is estimated to be 13 years old.

Group photo of girls at Youngmyeong School in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, taken in July 1915.

This is the time when Yu was attending school.

Behind the student is missionary Sae Rishi, who made the girl Gwan-soon Yu study and study at Ihwadang in Seoul.

Pro-independence activists Lee Gyu-gap and Lee Ae-ra, who were teachers at the time, were also filmed.

Dr. Yeon-cheol Lim, who was looking for missionary materials in Saarishi in the archives of an American university to write a book, first discovered the photo.

Last year, the Ewha Women’s University published a photo of Yoo Yeolsa, believed to have been taken upon joining the Ewha Women’s Party in 1916.

If the image released this time is Yu Gwan’s right hand – soon, it will be registered as the face of his childhood among the undiscovered faces of his life.

This year marks the centennial of the country.

After the shooting, Yu-Gwan soon came to see the girl who would have laughed with her friend.
