I would like to start talking about Yoon Bong-gil's top and bottom with a prime spectacle. At that time, Murai Ramas, who was a top and bottom warrior, was wearing it. Let's go back to April 29, 1932. On that day, on Emperor Hirohito's birthday, which is April 29, 1932, on the stage of a congratulatory event, important figures of the impending war were present. At 11:40 a.m., Dr. Yoon Bong-gil's bomb fell exactly after the speech. General Shiragawa and six others were critically injured or killed. What the Chinese army of 10 million couldn't achieve, the young Korean accomplished alone. After this incident, the Chinese government began actively supporting the provisional government. Yoon Bong-gil changed the status of the Korean provisional government. April 29, 1932.

I would like to investigate the Japanese people who were present at the memorial service at the time of the assassination of Dr. Yun Bong-gil. Why do we want to trace their lives, which can be considered the cause of invasion? After the incident, the history of the Japanese people today is directly reflected in their lives. This person was the Chief of Staff at that time, Shin Hanga, and was injured in the military and underwent surgery 12 times, but eventually died a month later. The blood-stained clothes of General Shirakawa, the Chief of Staff at that time, who worships the war criminals at Yasukuni Shrine, are still on display. For example, the coat worn by Major General Okuman is displayed. It can be seen that the remnants of Japanese militarism are preserved. In a way, it can be said that this memorial embodies the historical perception of the Japanese government, which is still in the process of becoming a so-called normal country that does not acknowledge the invasion war but allows war.

It was a construction site, and the bridge collapsed. In 1945, at the signing ceremony in Mi-Joriham, a Japanese man who lost his leg appeared. He is a representative of Japan, signing the surrender document. At that time, Consul Murai Ramas, who had shrapnel wounds on his left leg, is present. The glasses he wore at the moment of the explosion are now displayed at the Yoon Bong-gil Memorial Hall. What kind of happiness did he pursue afterward? The next day, after inquiries, he found a bakery. It is said that he had been running the store for 130 years. You can call it a masterpiece. Oh, here comes Mr. Ramano. Thankfully, he will take us home directly. Indeed, he seems to be a journalist. I showed him a photo from the liberation era. He seems surprised. He said his husband passed away. He carefully looks at the photo of the grandmother that came out at that time.

Yi Sang's Yonsei, but remembers accurately. During the day, Jjang Oh-jjang comes. He went out saying it's a new thing. He recalls a long time ago. Ah, ah, it's a child, a child. Sara no Hara. It's hard to find the name. No music. In fact, he is. Yes, yes. La la la. What happened in 1932? Yoon. Why did Yoon Shi-gu, the father, go to Korea, the land of Seonra chongsa's son? He wants to understand his daughter's father's heart. Before leaving for Korea, he greets his father. He continues to deny the war and the sins of the past, despite the concerns. After the death of Abe Shinzo, Japan's government's historical awareness is rapidly hardening. What is worrisome is that this historical awareness is leading to hate protests and ethnic hatred. [Applause] The worries end with a visit to Korea.

I've decided. I've been to Korea several times, but this time I feel nervous. The first destination is the Independence Hall of Korea. I am facing the history of Korea's independence movement for the first time. How would Ayaka feel as she learns the history? It's the exhibition hall of Dr. Yoon Bong-gil. In newspaper articles at that time, there was a word La Lai Lama. Ah, La Lai La. It's the first file reported in Korea's history. How did the Korean newspaper report on Dr. Yoon Bong at that time? In Japan, they didn't even know Yoon Bong-gil's name, but he was greatly respected by Koreans as an independence activist. It's a serious expression. This is the actual footage from 1932. I've seen it in photos, but it's my first time seeing the footage. Why did a 24-year-old Korean youth throw a bomb at the Japanese at that time? I was curious about that.

I think I now understand the earnest heart of Yun Bong-gil. He wanted to regain the country even if it meant sacrificing his life. Was it because they understood his heart that they donated the Murai Jongsabok? It's time to see the Murai Jongsabok donated by my father in 1992. It is evidence of the 87-year-old history of Yun Bong-gil. It's a moment of Murai Jongsabok, which Yun Bong-gil was wearing at the time of the bombing. It's a relic that proves the history of Yun Bong-gil 87 years ago. Oh, it's amazing, amazing. Oh, amazing. Grandma, you remember a lot this year. Yes, yes, that's right. This is where we wanted to repair the damaged part to prevent continuous deformation or damage, so we reattached the parts and restored them to prevent damage.

I think I will know the reason for bringing the bow to Korea. I was very worried about visiting Korea this time, but now I feel relieved. There are also items that my father used in the Yoon Bong-gil Memorial Hall. Hello, I am Jung Bae. Someone is waiting for me to come out in advance. This is Raistow Darr. Welcome to visit our museum. I am Yoon Bong-gil's niece, Jura. Nice to meet you. The descendants of Yoon Bong-gil, a doctor, and Murai Chonghyeong, a Japanese consul, shook hands after 87 years. Yoon Bong-gil, a Korean independence activist, and Murai Chonghyeong, a Japanese consul, had no choice but to have a hostile relationship. It's the most famous photo of me. It's the most famous photo in Japan too. Even Korean people admire Dr. Yoon when they see this photo. They say he is handsome.

There is a souvenir of reconciliation. Yes, this is the eyeglasses that General Lee Byung-chul used at the time. This item is very important because it was worn by him on April 29, 1932, a very valuable item at that time. These eyeglasses are one of the historical artifacts. However, there are not many materials from that time. What we have now is also very valuable as historical material. In 1992, Mr. Aya's father's eyeglasses symbolize reconciliation. The descendants have met. We hope that this meeting of reconciliation continues. We will discuss the historical significance of the meeting of descendants that took place after 7 years. With our grandmother coming this time, we will talk about how she felt seeing the heirlooms that her father used. Mr. Godong-a, who has a deep understanding of history, always... through our discount relationship.

I understand that you have come here after deep research and contemplation. Today, the meeting between Yunju, a teacher from the posthumous line of Yu Yunsang, and Murai's descendant, Ayako, at the Shanghai site, how do you think about the significance of their meeting? In a way, it is a scene of reconciling the twisted history that we should aim for. Well then, Teacher Yunju has prepared a special gift for Akako's visit. I will show it to you. Please explain it. When your father received the glasses from Mr. Kwan, your father wrote a letter. It is necessary. Why did he choose a Japanese heirloom in Korea? The answer is in the letter. In 1932, it was a time of friendship. This is how a great father is born.

This is the day. Recognizing and understanding to some extent, showing interest, yes. It's true. Moreover, it seems difficult for us, the descendants, to make a decision. It's also difficult to express it as a Japanese doctor. It's really hard to express it. Also, it's difficult to express it as a grace. If you do it straightforwardly, it's a just thing. Yes, if you look at the fact that it was mentioned twice in the letter, you can see that this person has been thinking a lot about history even in normal times. And then, one more thing that really stands out to me is the part where it says it would be good to prevent such things from happening at funerals. As for that, by wearing glasses and a mourning dress, it seems like there is a historical consciousness that hopes for a change in the future relationship between Korea and Japan. If my father were alive.

We must have had much deeper and more conversations. This is a photo of Mr. Lee who wrote the song himself. 87 years ago, Dr. Yun Il and Rasa were in the same space. 60 years later, the descendant of Consul General Murai donated Korean ceremonial clothes and glasses. Again, 27 years later, the reconciliation history is starting with the meeting of the descendants of Korea and Japan.
