This is where
the army in
the cause of
justice was
raised and trained
by Byungchan
Lim, Dunheon,
in hopes of
saving the country
from the invasion
of the Japanese
at the end of
the Joseon dynasty.
This area is
a remote mountainous
countryside
at more than
450 meters above
the sea level.
In the 30th
year of Gojong
(1893) when
Japan was watching
for a chance
to invade Korea,
Byungchan Lim
had moved from
Youngdong village
in Sanaemyun
and built a
Confucian school
to train the
younger generation
as a warning
for the future.
In the school,
he did not only
teach books,
but also military
arts like archery,
horseback riding,
etc. and built
armory, ammunition
factory and
billeting place
all in the distance
from one another.
General Lim,
Byongchan attends
upon Myonam
Choi, Ikhyeon
as his mentor
and he first
opened Honam
patriotic army
in Chilbo Mooseong
Memorial Hall
after concluding
the Ulsa Protective
Treaty in 1905.
He lead 800
patriotic soldiers
and attended
the Soonchang
battle, but
he was arrested
with Master
Myongam, and
was imprisoned
for two years
in Daema Island.
After this,
he got a secret
order from Emperor
Gojong in 1914
and he worked
as a patriotic
soldier. He
died in 1919,
when he was
66 years old
age, in Geomoon
Island by being
arrested while
working as a
patriotic soldier.
The patriotic
soldiers from
this area arose
other patriotic
soldiers here
and there in
the Honam area,
and it was the
beginning of
the anti-Japanese
movement.
Their spirit
of justice became
the pillar of
the Movement
for Independence
and the root
of our nation.
Byungchan Lim
was a doctor
and the commander
of the loyal
troops at the
end of Joseon
dynasty. This
is where Byungchan
Lim's memorial
of epithet used
to be. |
