Tomb of Kim Chang-suk, Seoul

Immediately after the outbreak of the March First Movement, Kim Chang-suk travelled to Shanghai as a representative of Confucian scholars (yurim) carrying the Paris Petition, which was sent on to the Paris Peace Conference; he also took part in forming the Provisional Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Korea and was involved in the Second Confucian Scholars' Incident, among other activities. After liberation, he purged pro-Japanese Confucian scholars to re-establish the foundations of Confucian learning and founded Sungkyunkwan University, working as both a religious leader and an educator. This site, where his patriotic spirit can be commemorated, holds great historical and educational value.
