海山 金正黙의 중국 關內에서의 민족운동

Abstract

The topic of this article is Kim Jung-mook(1888-1944) who was a patriot born in Sunsan, Gyeongsangbookdo Province. I reviewed his activities in Shanghai, Beijing, Manchuria and elsewhere in China, from 1911 until 1944. To do this research, I made use of information documents of Japan government, newspapers, testimony from independence activists, and ect. In 1911, Kim Jeong-mook went to Hanheung-dong in Milsan, China, where with his father-in-law's alumni, Lee Seung-hui, he made an efforts to build an independence movement foundation. IN 1914, he went to Beijing and entered into Peking Law School, and studied modern laws for four years. Around the end of World War I in 1918, he did independence movement in Manchuria and Primorsky of Russia. And immediately after the establishing of the Provisional Government of Shanghai around April 1919, he went to Shanghai and become a member of the National Assembly. He decided on various policies, and prepared measures to raise funds for the independence movement. And when the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the Hansung Government and the Korean National Assembly were merged in 1919, he supported the integration of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai and the Provisional Legislative Council of the Republic of Korea. However, he resigned from the interim parliament in 1920 after learning that Lee Seung-man had insisted on mandatory rule. Then he went to Beijing to organize a military unification promotion association with Shin Chae-ho and Park Yong-man and called for the unification of armed struggle forces. However, he did not participate in the military unification conference led by Park Yong-man and Shin Sook, which was to train troops by the support of Soviet Russia, but tried to achieve the unification of military groups supported by China in conjunction with Kim Jwa-jin. In the mid-1920s, when the independence movement in China and the Maritime Provinces faced difficulties, and the autonomous movement, which was a compromise, was developed at home, he proceeded to maintain the militant independence movement line. He supported Kim Chang-sook’s second Yurimdan struggle in 1925-26, and participated in the Great Independent Party Organization Beijing Promotion Conference in 1926. Meanwhile, he launched the Civil Society in Beijing around November 1926 and helped Korean residents in Manchuria to defend their rights and interests. In addition, activities were carried out to improve the stable relationship and the attitude of the Chinese who had anti-Korean sentiment in Manchuria. After the Manchurian Incident occurred in 1931, he moved from Manchuria to Beijing to engage in anti-Japanese activities. There around 1932-33, he tried to organize a Korean-Chinese military headquarters to stage a War against Japan. Meanwhile, using his status as a lawyer for the Military Commission's North Pyeongbun Division since August 1932, he contacted senior officials and military members of the People's Party of China to sponsor the opening of the Chosun Revolution Military Political Officer School and Nakyang Military Academy, recruiting and operating students. As a nobleman, he was able to live comfortably with a higher education, but he walked on the rough road of independence movement. His life was one of a visionary independence activist who practiced Noblesse Oblige.
