Ahn Jung-geun dedicated his life to the anti-Japanese movement
as an educator, a patriotic enlightenment activist, a paragon of
national spirits, a religious thinker who propagated Catholicism,
and a leader of the righteous army who fought against the Japanese
police and army. But, most of all, he made an indelible accomplishment
in the modern and contemporary history of Korea by assassinating and
punishing Hirobumi Ito, the monstrous aggressor of Korea, in Harbin.
