봉오동·청산리전투 100주년
Centennial of Fengwudong and Qingshanli Battles The Battle of Fengwudong was a battle in which Korea’s independence army gained a major triumph over Japan’s regular army strategically in a poor environment; the Battle of Qingshanli is remembered as the most brilliant battle in the history of Korea’s armed independence movement. Behind these heroic triumphs of the independence army are such leaders as Hong Beom-do, Choi Jin-dong, and Kim Jwa-jin and the grass roots groups who devoted themselves to the national independence. However, the remains of General Hong Beom-do, who had to leave for Kazakhstan due to Stalin’s deportation policy, still lie intact in foreign soil.
한민족의 20세기 전반 항일무장투쟁과 봉오동전투·청산리대첩
The Korean People’s Armed Struggle against Japan in the First Half of the 20th Century and the Fengwudong and Qingshanli Battles There are many historic incidents worth remembering and commemorating from various perspectives in the year 2020. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the April 19 Revolution, the 49th anniversary of the May 18 Gwangju pro-democracy movement, the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, and the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the Korean Liberation Army. The year 2020 is especially meaningful for the centennial of the Battles of Fengwudong and Qianshanli that took place in June and October of 1920, respectively. In connection with this, we would like to piece together the implications suggested today with an overview of the history of the Korean people’s armed struggle against Japan during the colonial period and by delving into the truth of the Fengwudong and Qingshanli Battles and its meaning.

만주 독립운동의 영웅 백야 김좌진
Baekya Kim Jwa-jin: Hero of the Independence Movement in Manchuria Baekya Kim Jwa-jin. He was a nationalist who struggled for the independence of his homeland during his lifetime, an educator, and an anti-Japan revolutionary. The independence of his homeland held the greatest value for him, and he placed top priority on the people in all circumstances. He was always with the independence movement in Manchuria in the 1920s. It was he who inspired our people to be independent through war during the dark colonial period. That is why we cannot talk about the armed struggle against Japan in Manchuria without mentioning Kim Jwa-jin.

동아시아사 교원 연수를 마치고: 타이완에서 찾은 독립운동의 흔적들
Upon Finishing Teacher Training on East Asian History: Traces of the Independence Movement Discovered in Taiwan At 7 a.m. on December 11, 2019, 16 teachers who had completed the teacher training program on East Asian history left for four days of on-the-job training in Taiwan. The main schedule of the field training was to track down traces of the martyr Cho Myung-ha. Cho Myung-ha is a figure who rose up and attempted to assassinate Kuninomiya Kunihiko, the father-in-law of the Japanese emperor, in Taichung, Taiwan in 1928. The weather in Taiwan was sunny enough to be ideal for our journey, like autumn in Korea, as if to help us to find his traces more easily.

Korea-Vietnam International Academic Conference in 2nd Half of 2019: Scene of Cooperation for New Future In Northeast Asia’s tense international situation pitting the emerging China against the United States in the 21st century, our government is pressing onward with close exchanges with Southeast Asian countries centered on its “New Southern Policy” to look for stable political, economic, and cultural partners. Vietnam occupies an important place in political, economic, and various other fields of Southeast Asia, and shares similar historical experiences with Korea. The Foundation signed an MOU on close academic cooperation and information sharing with the Institute of History of Vietnam’s Academy of Social Sciences in Vietnam in May 2017. Under the MOU, the Foundation and the Academy have held international academic conferences twice since last year.

동북아 청동기 문화의 접경, 요서 지역의 청동기 문화: 『요서 지역의 청동기 문화 — 문화 접경·다양성·상호작용』
Bronze Age Culture in Liaoxi, the Border of Bronze Age Culture in Northeast Asia: “Bronze Age Culture in Liaoxi – Cultural Borders, Diversity, and Interaction” China’s bronzeware in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties is by no means inferior in showing the glory of ancient China’s Bronze Age culture. Scholars therefore perceive bronzeware as an important element constituting the Zhongyuan (central plains) culture, and often suggest bronzeware as one important metric for judgment when talking about the spread of the Zhongyuan culture. In other words, bronzeware found in areas other than the central plains was the result of advances of the Zhongyuan culture. The same is true of Liaoxi, which this book deals with. Zhongyuan-style bronzeware began to be excavated occasionally in Liaoxi in the 1950s. Some Chinese scholars interpret this phenomenon as being related to the political advances of kingdoms in the central plains.

“모든 것은 김학순으로부터 시작되었다”: 김학순, 그 역사적 만남
“All things have originated from Kim Hak-sun”: Historic Meeting with Kim Hak-sun The history of the comfort women of the Japanese military began to be written anew in the early 1990s. It is leading world peace and human rights recovery, aiming for new perspectives, new language, and a new future. At the heart of it are the survivors of sexual slavery. There were activists, researchers, and citizens with them who looked for records, made languages, and provided meaning. Recording this moment, we would like to let future generations inherit our history.
