의사 김필순의 생애와 독립운동

Abstract

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the March First Movement, As a result, the interim government of the Republic of Korea was established and it was busy to inform the international community. The representative figure was Kim Gyu-sik, a well-known fact. However his brother-in-law, Kim Pil-soon, a great doctor and independence activist who silently performed his role, was buried in history. This article does not focus on the fact that Kim Pil-soon was one of the first seven licensed medical doctors in Korean history, and that he was one of the leading figures in the Korean medical community. He revealed how he devoted himself to the independence movement, not resting on his stable career as a doctor, but not ignoring the reality of his country at that time. In addition to being a doctor who was responsible for the hygiene of the immigrant Koreans after the exile in China, he was able to expand the scope of independent movement through his activities as an independent activist in Northern Manchuria. It is a remaining task to study about Kim Pil-soon's offsprings staged anti-Japanese struggles throughout China after Kim's death.
