After hearing news of the Japanese invasion of the Joseon palace and the impending uprising of militias, Hee-soon, despite wanting to join the militia like her father and husband, couldn't do so as she had to take care of her household and raise her young son.
However, one day, while observing the defeated militia corps returning from battle with the Japanese army, Hee-soon proposed to the villagers that they assist the militias together. As she pondered ways to encourage the militias and unite the people, Hee-soon composed a militia song. As Hee-soon's militia song spread throughout the village, the militias gained strength, and the villagers, including women, became brave and confident. However, as the Japanese continued to oppress Joseon, Hee-soon, feeling she could no longer stand by, resolved to take action herself. How did Hee-soon confront the Japanese? Let's delve into the life of Yoon Hee-soon, the first female militia general of the Japanese colonial period, who created militia songs and led the anti-Japanese militia movement.
"One day, my father said, 'I have seen a child who will be your future wife.' A very brave and wise child, he said. Since then, I have been very curious about you."
"War isn't just about fighting with a gun. Yes, let's find what I can do right now."
In March 1919, news of the March 1st Movement that began in Korea reached China. Even the 60-year-old Hee-soon, weary from years of independence movement, felt her heart burning once again. Hee-soon, along with her family and fellow Koreans, shouted for the independence of Korea in China... Did Hee-soon achieve the long-awaited independence of her country?
