The March First Movement  also known as Sam-il (3-1) Movement( 삼일 운동) was one of the earliest public displays of Korean Resistance during the rule of Korean by Japan from 1910 to 1945. The name refers to an event that occurred on March 1, 1919, hence the movement's name, literally meaning "Three-One Movement" or "March First Movement" in Korean. This is the thing that my language partner tell me in the class. And she showed us a statue of Ryu Gwuasun.  유관순 was the organizer of March First Movement and became one of the most well-known participants in this movement, and eventually, a symbol of Korea's fight for independence. I learn that  Match First is a really important day in Korea so I think it is important to know the background information of The March First Movement.
