The power of diversity was what gave the Korean people a fighting chance to free Korea from Japanese oppression; they had to learn how to empathize and cooperate with people of different backgrounds and find common ground through their struggles. This piece, which shows Japanese tourists happily posing in front of the Ryu Gwansun memorial in Seoul, is meant to show how empathy will foster true understanding between Japan and Korea today.

In the “March 1 Movement”, Ryu Gwansun rallied the revolutionaries of Seoul to protest against the Japanese occupation of Korea. People from occupied nations, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Chinese territories, and French and Dutch colonies joined the fray; even some Japanese people opposed the occupation. Though their protest did not immediately result in freedom, they rose awareness of Japan’s oppression and united the people.
