너무도 감동적이었던 문재인 대통령님의 3.1절 기념사! 영문판을 올려달라는 해외동포들이 많아서 비공식 번역판이지만 올립니다. 외국인 친구들과 많이 공유하여 왜 일본의 독도주장이 단순한 영토분쟁을 넘어선 일본제국주의 침략역사의 일환인지 설명해주시기 바랍니다.

Address by
President Moon Jae-in
on the 99th March First Independence Movement Day

March 1, 2018

My fellow Koreans, overseas compatriots,

Today marks the 99th anniversary of the March First Independence Movement. It is still in our hearts at this moment as a vivid and living memory. Each and every brick of Seodaemun Prison is etched with noble stories of defiance in the face of hardship and death. I feel like I can hear the chants for Korea’s independence now.

Today, we are gathered here to commemorate the living, breathing spirit of this significant day in a historic place of the independence movement; we are not holding just a perfunctory ceremony.

During Japanese colonial rule, approximately 2,600 people were imprisoned in the Seodaemun Prison each year. Up until August 15, 1945, when the country was liberated, nearly 100,000 Koreans had been incarcerated here. Nine out of ten of them were independence activists and so-called “thought offenders.”

From those in their teens to the elderly, from Jeju Island in the south to Hamgyeong Province in the north, they acted for the cause of their country’s independence. Sometimes, a mother and her son, a father and his daughter, and brothers and sisters were put behind bars together.

Countless mothers and wives stayed in the alleys in front of this Prison and looked after their imprisoned children and husbands by working to provide sustenance, and sewing clothes for them. Not only the inmates themselves but also their family members were all independence activists.

Fellow Koreans,.......
