Children raise South Korea’s national flag Taegeukgi at a ceremony at the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial in Seoul on March 26, 2015, to mark the 105th anniversary of Ahn’s death. Ahn, an independent fighter under the Japanese colonial rule of Korea, assassinated Hirobumi Ito, the first Japanese governor general of Korea, at a railway station in Harbin, northeastern China, on Oct. 26, 1909. The freedom fighter was caught immediately and executed at a Japanese prison in the northern Chinese city of Lushun the following year. (Yonhap)
