重慶 한국광복군 총사령부 건물 소재지에 관한 고찰

Abstract

The general headquarters of the Korean Independence Army had a symbolic meaning as the headquarters of the Korean armed forces of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. But it is true that confusion of the location of the general headquarters prevails, too. As the progress of urban planning near the general headquarters building that came to the front from 2009 drove the building to its demolition crisis. In spite that it is an important historical site, it is true that research about it was not in progress. In this research paper I examined the course of the location changes of the general headquarters of the Korean Independence Army. I classified the items discussed so far as follows;In the initial stage of the establishment of the Korean Independence Army,it didn't have money to arrange its general headquarters building. As its general headquarters moved to Xian, it didn't try to actively secure the building to hold lots of people. There was no picture giving shape to the image of the general headquarters building of the Korean Independence Army in the early stage even in the memoirs and diaries of many figures who were involved in the establishment of the Korean Independence Army. Thus it can be said that the building named Miwon was not the general headquarters building of the Korean Independence Army in the early stage. Secondly, I guess that the general headquarters building was not prepared separately from the beginning and the headquarters was located in the ProvisIonal Government building in Usyeshang (吳師爺巷). Putting Yoon,Jeongbo's memoir and Zhu, Jiahua's letters together, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the general headquarters were located in the same building in Usyeshang before July, 1942. Thirdly, as the organization of the Korean Independence Army expanded and China asked the Korean Independence Army to move to Chungching, its headquarters came to be located in 37, Chuyongro. But as materials that the general headquarters was located in 45, Sinsaengro, not in Chuyongro before July, 1942 was discovered, confusion of its location prevailed, however, as the city of Chungching expanded, the name of the roads was integrated. As Sinsaeingro was merged into Chuyongro in September, 1943, this issue was naturally resolved. The building of the general headquarters was in the demolition crisis several times and it is still in such a situation. As the preservation of the building of the general headquarters of the Korean Independence Army, the embryo of the Korean armed forces, is the issue of Korea and it should be resolved jointly with China, it would be desirable for the two countries to seek a solution sagely. I hope this research paper would be the little help for solving the issue of the two countries.
