Jangheung – Fighter for independence devoting the life for the country

1903 – 1983 Military police leader in China and fighter for independence for the country

“If Joseon becomes independent upon my sacrifice,”

Without the general, Jangheung, Joseon might not be able to take independence easily. General, Janghueng, devoted his entire life for the country. After the 3.1 movement, he worked for temporary government in China and took the battle with Japanese armies by leading military polies while greatly contributing to maintain the order. After Japan collapsed, he came to Korea and served as a role of the first military force leader in Korea. Therefore, he greatly contributed to maintain the order.

As he devoted his life not for his interest but for the country, Jangheung represented a role model for those who only live for their profit or the power.
