Abstract

In this research I tried to closely examine the historical meaning of Yoon,Bonggil's noble undertaking in Shanghai by studying widely known materials published before Korea's liberation. The starting point was Kim, Gu's statement which let the world know Yoon, Bonggil's noble undertaking under the name of the Korean Patriotic Society and was announced right after the undertaking. The Korean edition was published after polishing the statement. And then, as the Chinese edition was inserted in Dowesilgi (屠倭實記), Yoon, Bonggil's record, the course of his undertaking and the historical meaning of his noble undertaking were widely known to the Chinese. The reviews and biographies of Yoon, Bonggil which were published after then were mostly based on these two editions. Independence activists in China, who were led by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea praised Yoon, Bonggil and wrote about his life and noble undertaking. As "The life of Yoon, Bonggil" among them, which was written by Kim, Gwang who spent one year with Yoon, Bonggil includes the copious contents, it deserves a comprehensive edition. After Yoon, Bonggil's noble undertaking, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea walked down the road of hardship to an inland area,China from Shanghai. When people of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea had severer difficulties, they found out the driving force to overcome hardship in Yoon, Bonggil's undertaking. The reason why the Korea People's Party organ "Hanmin" repeatedly praised his struggle was to recover self-confidence through the protection of the Provisional Government and public relations of its militancy. Such trend was followed by "Gwangbok (the Restoration of Independence)", the bulletin of the Korean Independence Army. "Doknippyeongron (Independence Review)" showed the same trend. Most of widely known materials about Yoon, Bonggil in the U. S. were written by Hong, Eon under the pen name of Donghaesooboo and reported in a newspaper "Shinhanminbo". Particularly, His writing which was divided into 10 scenes in the form of epic poetry shows his remarkable writing skills which touched the readers. The reviews written by Chinese writers also attract a lot of attention. Representative ones are Kyeong, Maegoo's writing which was written under the pen name of Nomae (老梅) and Gal, Jeokbong's writing. Among them, Kyeong, Maegoo's dedicated poem, who is known as a calligrapher, looks better. The reviews and biographies of Yoon, Bonggil are classified in 5 kinds. Firstly, arranging Yoon, Bonggil's character, they described his devotion for the country from his early days. Secondly, they described his meeting with Kim, Gu after his exile to Shanghai, the preparation of the noble undertaking and the course of achieving his aim in detail. Thirdly, till the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea left Shanghai and arrived at Chungching,personnel of the Provisional government repeatedly meditated on his noble undertaking at Hongkou Park and got energized. Fourthly, as Koreans in America were encouraged by his undertaking, they actively supported the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. Fifthly, as Chinese people highly praised his undertaking, disorder and crisis of Korean independence movement arisen from Wanbao Mountain incident were settled.
