100 YEARS AGO TODAY<\/h1>\n

“As you wind down your day, reflect on a century of history”<\/p>\n

\n

Tuesday, September 7, 1926. As dusk falls over the Pacific, we look back 100 years to Gyeongseong (today’s Seoul), where dawn had broken over Gwanghwamun.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Hanyang had fallen to Chinese revolutionary forces. On this day, Hankou fell too \u2014 two of Wuhan’s three towns in a single day. For Koreans who had settled in Manchuria and Shanghai, this was not a foreign war; it was unfolding around their own lives.<\/p>\n

For International Readers:<\/strong> By September 1926, Korea was 17 years into Japanese colonial rule (1910\u20131945). Just three months earlier, the funeral of the last emperor, Sunjong, had triggered the June 10th Independence Movement \u2014 Korea’s largest anti-colonial demonstration since 1919.<\/p>\n

On the old site of Gwanghwamun Gate, the new Government-General building \u2014 the seat of Japanese colonial rule \u2014 was in its final month of construction before its October dedication ceremony. The Korean Today’s series had already followed this construction site on September 2, 4, and 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u270a Names Still Waiting for Trial<\/h3>\n

On June 10, the day of Emperor Sunjong’s state funeral, a 23-year-old student named Lee Seon-ho, enrolled at Joongang High School, stood along the funeral procession route and led the cry “Long live Korean independence!” He and ten others were arrested. As of this Tuesday, none of them had yet gone to trial \u2014 their hearing would not open until November 2, with sentencing (one year, suspended for five) handed down on November 17 by the Gyeongseong District Court. Lee reportedly told the court: “I acted resolved that if freedom is cried out, freedom will come to be.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2696\ufe0f Tuesday: Inside the Courthouse<\/h3>\n

The Gyeongseong District Court, near Gwanghwamun, held preliminary hearings and trials every Tuesday. Names of independence activists surfaced there often in these years. No specific case record for this exact date was found. For International Readers:<\/strong> imagine a colonial court where the accused’s own language was not the language of the proceedings \u2014 Korean defendants were tried in Japanese.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

News from Pyongyang, Busan, and Daegu on this exact date was not confirmed. But for Koreans rooted in Jiandao, Manchuria, and Shanghai, the Nationalist army’s Northern Expedition, launched from the south of China, was no distant affair. Korean merchants and laborers who had built lives around Wuhan now found themselves inside the storm of an advancing front line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Nationalist Revolutionary Army, marching north from Guangzhou, captured Hanyang on September 6 and Hankou on this day, September 7 \u2014 two of the “Three Towns of Wuhan.” Warlord Wu Peifu’s forces were badly shaken. Only Wuchang remained, and its gates would not open to the revolutionary army until October 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Emperor Taish\u014d’s health was already declining by this point \u2014 he would die four months later, on December 25. Across the Pacific, America’s Roaring Twenties continued; Europe lived an uneasy peace under the Locarno Treaties.

By September 1926, Gandhi had stepped back from formal Congress leadership (resigned the presidency in late 1925) to focus on his “constructive program” \u2014 spinning, village self-reliance, and social reform \u2014 while non-cooperation simmered beneath the surface. Like Korea, India’s own language and institutions were subordinated to the colonizer’s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddea The Irish Free State<\/h3>\n

Four years after independence, Ireland was still defining itself \u2014 \u00c9amon de Valera had just founded Fianna F\u00e1il in May 1926, splitting from Sinn F\u00e9in over whether to enter the very parliament of the state he’d once refused to recognize. For Korean independence thinkers watching from afar, Ireland was proof that occupation could end \u2014 even if what followed was its own hard argument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Governor-General Leonard Wood, who had clashed repeatedly with the Filipino legislature over how much self-rule Filipinos could actually exercise, was in the final stretch of a tenure marked by that same tension every colonized people recognized: promised eventual self-government, but not yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\ud83d\udc64 Person of the Day \u2014 Lee Seon-ho<\/h2>\n
\n

Lee Seon-ho, Age 23, Student at Joongang High School<\/h3>\n

On June 10, 1926, as the funeral procession of Emperor Sunjong passed through the streets of Gyeongseong, Lee Seon-ho stepped forward and led the cry: “Long live Korean independence!” Around a hundred fellow students from Joongang High joined him, scattering roughly a thousand independence leaflets and waving the Korean flag.<\/p>\n

He and ten other students were arrested. As of this Tuesday in September, none had yet stood trial \u2014 the case would not reach court until November 2, with a verdict on November 17: one year’s imprisonment, suspended for five.<\/p>\n

Lee reportedly told the court: “I acted resolved that if freedom is cried out, freedom will come to be.” A sentence that reads, a century later, like a definition of hope under occupation.<\/p>\n
