Recently, I have come across several books regarding Korea's distorted history. Among them, reading about Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung and the March 1st Movement—books on modern and contemporary history that overlap with the scope of my upcoming midterm exam—gave me new insights. I read this book with a heavy heart, realizing how much truth is hidden, harboring the deep sorrow of our ancestors. Perhaps thanks to the song from my childhood that goes, "March 1, 1919, noon.

[Book] Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung and the March 1st Revolution | Co-authored by Kim Sang-cheol and Kim Sang-gu | Edam Books | February 2010 This book is a biography of the figure Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung. To highlight this unfamiliar figure, the title "March 1st Revolution" is written in larger letters than his name, and the subtitle "Correcting Anti-Japanese History" is added to attract attention.

It was a book that made me realize just how little knowledge I had about these precious figures all this time.

Realizing anew that I knew nothing more than that made my
Kim Sang-cheol et al.: Beomjae Kim Kyu-heung and the March 1st Revolution
"Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung and the March 1st Revolution" was compiled based on materials collected by the author, Kim Sang-cheol, the great-grandson of Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung. Having been interested in the achievements of his great-grandfather, Beomjae Kim Gyu-heung, for several years and striving to uncover hidden or forgotten materials, he published this book together with co-author Kim Sang-gu, convinced that shedding light on Beomjae would redefine the history of the Korean independence movement.
