"If the purpose of life is pleasure, the last 31 years[10] “I have tasted only the pleasures of the flesh.”

“Now I have come to Shanghai with the purpose of devoting myself to our independent work, with dreams of eternal pleasure.”

The Japanese were truly lucky at that time. It was an easy promotion from Yongin (current contract position) to Gowon (current civil servant position) in one to one and a half years. In contrast, no matter how good Koreans are at their jobs and how diligently they work, they cannot possibly become subway workers in just a year or a year and a half.[11] I couldn't even go up there.

After the Sakuradamon incident, the teacher testified to the prosecutor that the Railway Bureau of the Japanese Government-General discriminated against Koreans at the time.

“I was born as a Joseon citizen and have never seen King Lee Tae ’s holy eye. After the merger of Gyeongsul, I became a New Japanese citizen and have never seen His Majesty’s holy eye. No. Also, I did not learn the history of Joseon and have never been taught Japanese history. As a citizen of a country, I am truly ashamed of myself for not knowing the history of that country and having never seen the castle of the emperor of that country.”

" I didn't come here because I spent money to see the Kyoto detention center. Didn't I come to see His Majesty the Emperor as a Japanese citizen? What's wrong with having a letter mixed with Korean? After all, I'm a Korean. I can't say something like the Japanese Emperor on the subject of a Korean. "Isn't that why I don't need to see it? That's why I was punished and locked up in a detention center."

"I began to resent others and the world, and so my thoughts naturally changed... I felt like I would join in if there was someone to lead me. Since I am a Korean, I threw myself into the independence movement of Joseon to protect the sovereignty of our 20 million compatriots. “I decided that I had to work for them .”

“ It is extremely easy to slaughter the Japanese emperor , so why don’t the independence activists practice this?”

One day, when I was in Tokyo , the Japanese Emperor came to Hayama .[19] When I heard that I was going to the Japanese Empire, I decided to go and see the Japanese emperor, and when I saw the Japanese emperor passing in front of me, I immediately thought, 'What would I do if I had a gun or ammunition at this time?'

If the purpose of life is pleasure, I have tasted the pleasure of the flesh in the past 31 years.
Now, we have come to Shanghai with the intention of devoting ourselves to our independent business, dreaming of eternal pleasure .

One day in mid -December[21] Ms. Jung Heung, who slept overnight, had various discussions about going to Japan . If suicide failed and was interrogated by Kwanheon, the teacher told me to answer the phrase. Sleeping that night and the next morning, I made money in my old clothes pocket, gave it to Mr. Lee Bong -chang, prepared to go to Japan, and said goodbye to each other.
Two days later, he came to visit us, so we spent one last night together at Mrs. Jungheung Temple. At that time, Mr. Lee said this.
“The other day, when the teacher gave me a bundle of money, I cried. I wondered who would trust me and give me such a large amount of money, and I decided to take this money and eat it. What can I do? I've never been trusted like this in my entire life. This is the first and the last. Truly, I thought what you were doing was the magnanimity of a hero."

• Among the independence activists, the characters who did not originally have hostile to Japan are surprisingly quite a bit,[23] Beyond it, Lee Bong -chang aimed at his identity as a Japanese who is a 'exemplary Hwangkukinin' in Japanese imperial terms . However, the unusual and extraordinary case of realizing the reality of colonial ships due to discrimination and rejection of Japanese mainstream society and eventually entering the independence movement. This is the evidence of how the Japanese despised the Koreans in itself, and the claim that the Japanese treated the Koreans well treated the Koreans' life.

• Commonly known right photos are synthesized. # The original of this photo was a central picture of a stern resolution, and if you look closely at the synthetic copy, the jawline is very unnatural, the body and the head are not hit, and the picture is drawn with a pen, not a picture of the hands and grenades. This is in 1946 after liberation It is a kind of illustration that first appeared in the Korean translation of <Doo Woe Practice> published in March , and it is difficult to recognize the shape because it is difficult to recognize the shape due to the blurry picture of the Chinese version published in 1932, which was published in 1932.

• It is said to be sick. As a child, arthritis was caused by malaria , and the joints were sick every season . Nevertheless, he liked sports such as baseball and table tennis .

• It is said that he lived a ‘modern boy’ lifestyle. He # is said to have loved women and gambling such as mahjong to the point where he was confident that he had enjoyed enough physical pleasures before the end of his life . The following is the teacher's actions recorded in the Japanese police interrogation report.

• In the mid -1980s, it was published in the newspaper that Lee's nephew lived hard. In the past data, the wife of Lee Bong -chang died in the mid -1980s, but Lee Bong -chang was not married. The person in this newspaper says that Lee is the eldest daughter of Lee Bum -tae, who came to Japan with Lee Bong -chang. #

• There is a similar figure . As a craftsman of the illuminated Showa Tenno, Kuninomiya Kuni Yoshi, a Japanese noodle at the time, was stabbed with a poisonous knife to death. It is also similar in that it has caused a suggestion in other countries ( Taiwan ) , not in Korea .[25]

• In his book, Professor Background of the Institute of Historical Problems said that Lee Bong -gil's best achievement was that the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea had gone on the path of the fierce struggle .[26]

• The site of the Yochomachi Playground in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward was the former site of Ichigaya Prison, and there is a monument in memory of those who were executed on the playground . # However, there is a lot of garbage nearby. #

• Although he has never met Dr. Bong-gil Yoon, a member of the Korean Patriotic Corps and his junior, he is related to Dr. Bong-gil Yoon's family. After liberation, Dr. Lee Bong-chang passed away unmarried and his family was scattered, making it impossible to hold a proper memorial service, let alone a commemorative project for Dr. Bong-chang Yoon. As a result, Dr. Nam-eui Yoon, the third younger brother of Dr. Bong-gil Yoon, collected empty bottles and raised funds for the event.[27] I wrote a petition to President Park Chung-hee . In the end, President Park Chung-hee, who was surprised to receive the petition, ordered Prime Minister Choi Kyu-ha to hold a memorial service at the government level for the first time in 1975. From this point on, the commemorative project could barely begin. If it weren't for the help of Dr. Bong-Gil Yoon's family, this doctor might have been buried in the backwaters of history. #

According to my common sense as an officer in charge of managing the weapons of the ROK Army, I thought it would be really difficult to hit a target over 100m away without making a mistake with a regular grenade . After much thought, I came up with the idea, "It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's still a good idea to get a Mammy grenade instead of the regular grenade and give it to this comrade." The Mammy grenade has a weaker explosive power than a normal grenade, but it has the advantage of being lightweight, so it can be thrown far, there are no unexploded rounds, and it is easy to carry. However, no matter how easy it was to carry, how to safely transport this grenade to Tokyo was not something that Kim Gu and I usually struggled with at the time.

Kim Hong-il , Continental Fury - Memoirs of an Old Soldier, Munjo-josa, 1972, p.273

• The hand grenade used in Dr. Lee Bong-chang's decree was made by Kim Hong-il (the pseudonym Wang Ung used at the time). It is said that it was Kim Hong-il who taught Dr. Lee Bong-chang how to throw a grenade. In 1931, he returned to Korea and served as a lieutenant general, and in 1931 he served as a shanghai (colonel) belonging to the Chinese National Revolutionary Army and was managing weapons while working as the arsenal manager of the Shanghai Armory. Doctor Lee Bong-chang prepared two bombs, one said to have been obtained from Shanghai Byeong-gongchang through Kim Hong-il and one sent by Kim Hyeon to He Nam Yu-chi. One was for courtship and the other was for self-determination.

Mammy Grenade

• Doctor Lee Bong-chang is said to have used a grenade called Mami (麻尾) , which had the advantage of being light in weight, allowing it to be thrown far away, easy to carry, and most importantly, not having any unexploded bombs, but it also had the disadvantage of being somewhat weak in explosive power.[28] Baekbeom Kim Gu later remembered the failure of Dr. Lee Bong-chang right before Dr. Bong-gil Yoon's Hongkou Park attack and asked for a bomb with the right amount of power, and Dr. Bong-gil Yun, who received it, posted a frightening record with just one bomb. According to <Baekbeom Diary>, the bombs used by Lee Bong-chang and Yun Bong-gil in their rebellion were all manufactured at the Republic of China Military Yard in Shanghai. At the time of Lee Bong-chang's rebellion, the generals regretted that the firepower of the bombs they handed over was weak and ended in an assassination attempt, so they sincerely manufactured bombs that had been repeatedly tested and provided about 20 of them free of charge to Yun Bong-gil.
  
  There are a total of two stories about the production of the bomb. One is that Lieutenant General Kim Hong-il made it himself, and the other is that Lieutenant General Kim Hong-il arranged the bomb maker Wang Bai-shu. By the way, General Kim Hong-il once took a picture with Wang Baishu while working as Taiwanese ambassador. At this time, it is said that Wang Baishu made the bomb for Dr. Lee Bong-chang, so he met Wang Baishu while Kim Hong-il was in charge of the Chinese weapons factory, and later, at Kim Gu's request, Wang Baishu and Kim Gu were connected, providing gunpowder needed for bomb production. presumed to be Due to the nature of the independence movement, it is impossible to leave a record, so almost all records and facts related to the independence movement depend on the memories of those who participated in the independence movement, so the above story may not be true. There is even a story about getting dozens of hand grenades used in the Russian Civil War through the Communist Party of Korea.

• In Richellen 's alternate history novel < The Korean War of Independence >, following the advice of the returning Kim Gu, a bomb is thrown at the first wagon to make Sakuradamon's act successful. Afterwards, he is proudly captured while calling for national independence.[30] Since then, Japan has fallen into self-restraint under the influence of Ui-geo, giving hope to the history of the Joseon independence movement, while bringing an unpredictable East Asian situation. Interestingly, after a while on the other side of the globe, Schwarze Kapelle 's conspiracy succeeds, Hitler explodes, and Goering is suddenly nominated as the Führer's successor. His life and death were unknown for a while, but it was confirmed that he had been martyred right before the end of Part 1, and his comrade, Doctor Yoon Bong-gil, secretly retrieved the remains.
