Kim Hyong Jik, an indomitable revolutionary fighter, educated local people and advocates of the independence movement in the spirit of national independence and anti-Japanese patriotic idea and aroused them to the struggle for national liberation.

He stressed that it was quite possible to liberate the country from the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule when all Koreans were closely united and that the young people in particular should turn out in a sacred war for independence.

One day he proposed to develop the existing fraternity in that locality into a mass organization and call it Kwangjong Association.

Thereby, the Association emerged a political organization for rallying broad masses and educating them in the anti-Japanese idea on October 20, 1916.

Under his energetic guidance, the organization made signal achievements in raising independence movement funds, storing up grain reserves, controlling major ferries, spreading progressive ideas among workers.

Kim Hyong Jik also roused local women to the anti-Japanese struggle, teaching them Korean alphabets.

Many people are visiting the site with the approach of the anniversary of the Korean National Association (March 23, 1917).
