=The Sangmu Zone: An Oasis of Nature in the City=

== Narrative ==
The [[상무지구|Sangmu District]] represents one of Gwangju’s most successful urban development projects, transforming former military land into a modern residential and commercial area surrounded by natural attractions. This district was built on sites previously occupied by [[상무대|Sangmudae Command Post]], [[광주비행장|Gwangju Airfield]], and the [[계수마을|Gyesu Village]] and [[치평마을|Chipyeong Village]].

The area’s connection to its military heritage remains visible through [[상무역|Sangmu Station]], which takes its name from the former military base, and [[상무대로|Sangmu-daero]], a major road running near the district. The station provides convenient access to nearby [[운천역|Uncheon Station]] and connects to the [[광주광역시청|Gwangju Metropolitan City Hall]].

Natural features define much of the district’s character. [[여의산|Yeouisan Mountain]] rises within the area, housing both the [[5.18기념공원|May 18 Memorial Park]] and [[5.18자유공원|5.18 Liberty Park]]. The [[운천호수공원|Uncheon Lake Park]] offers recreational space near both the Freedom Park and Uncheon Station, while [[광주천|Gwangjucheon Stream]] and [[극락강|Geungnakgang River]] flow through the district.

Modern amenities complement the natural environment. The [[김대중컨벤션센터|Kim Dae-jung Convention Center]] serves as a major venue for events and conferences, while [[에너지파크_해담마루|Energy Park Haedammaru]] promotes environmental awareness. The [[상무금요시장|Sangmu Friday Market]] and [[상무지구먹자골목|Sangmu District Food Alley]] provide dining and shopping options for residents and visitors.

The district also includes [[평화공원|Peace Park]], adding to the area’s reputation as an urban oasis where modern development coexists with preserved natural spaces and memorial sites.

=Chosun University: Symbol of Gwangju’s Mid-Century Art and Architecture=

== Narrative ==
[[조선대학교|Chosun University]], first founded as a college in 1946, was not only a key venue of higher education, but also a cradle for Gwangju’s modern art and architecture movements in the mid-20th century. The university is home to several key mid-century school buildings, including the [[광주_조선대학교_본관|main building]] (1947-1954), the [[광주_조선대학교_부속중학교_구_교사|former Chosun University middle school building]] (1949), and the [[광주_전남대학교_인문대학_1호관|main building of the College of the Humanities]] (1957). Notably, the main building features an unusual design comprising 19 triangular roofs, although the building began with only the five central roofs and was later expanded.

The university was also home to an active artistic community, centered around the [[조선대학교_미술학과|Department of Fine Arts]]. Among the department’s notable affiliates is Korean-America visual artist [[김보현|Po Kim (1917-1940)]], who served as a professor in the department from 1946-1955, before moving to the U.S. The university’s [[조선대학교미술관|museum of art]] includes the [[김보현_실비아올드_미술관|Po Kim and Sylvia Wald Art Museum]], which houses over 300 of Kim’s works. Other educators in the department include the artists [[천경자|Chun Kyung-ja (1924-2015)]] and [[오지호|O Ji-ho (1905-1982)]].

=As Seen Through Landmarks: The Boom for Higher Education in the 1950s=

== Narrative ==
Looking at Gwangju’s landmark buildings, the 1940s and 1950s, which mark the start of Korea’s regained independence following the Japanese colonial period, are marked by buildings associated with higher education. Buildings built during this time include those belonging to [[조선대학교|Chosun University]], such as the [[광주_조선대학교_본관|Main Building]] (1947-1954), the [[광주_조선대학교_부속중학교_구_교사|Former Chosun University Middle School Building]] (1949), and the [[광주_전남대학교_인문대학_1호관|Main Building of the College of the Humanities]] (1957), [[전남대학교|Chonnam National University]], such as the [[광주_조선대학교_의학대학_본관|Former Main Building of the School of Medicine]] (1948-1951) and [[전남대학교_용봉관|Yongbonggwan Hall]] (1957), and [[광주교육대학교|Gwangju National University of Education]], such as the university’s [[광주교육대학교_교육박물관|Education Museum]] (1957). These buildings serve as a testament for the desire for further education following Korea’s liberation in 1945 and in the midst of the Korean War (1950-1953).

*Chosun University
Chosun University is one of the first private universities of Korea. It was founded as a college in 1946 through a fund raised by the Chosun College Founders’ Association, which had a membership of more than 72,000 people. It became a university in 1953.
**Main Building
***The construction of the main building started in 1947, but faced difficulties due to the Korean War (1950-1953). The construction was completed in 1954 with the support of faculty members and students’ parents. At the time of its completion, the building only had five triangular roof sections, but it was extended several times and there are currently 19 triangular roofs at a total width of 370 m. This building is regarded as a key landmark of Gwangju because of its historical background and unique architectural style.
**Middle School Building
***Built in 1949, this building is the oldest school building within Chosun University.
**Main Building of the College of the Humanities
***Originally built in 1957 to serve a classroom building, it became the main building around 1962.
*Chonnam National University
**Former Main Building of the School of Medicine
***This building is the oldest among all the buildings in the Chonnam National University campus. It was originally built as the main building of Provincial Gwangju Medical College, founded in 1944. Its construction began in 1948 and was completed in 1951. In 1952, Chonnam National University was founded. This building was used as the headquarters of the university, such as the president’s office and offices of academic affairs and student affairs, becoming a key venue for the initial establishment of the university. After the university’s headquarters moved to another building in 1957, this building was used for various purposes, including as the administration office of the school of medicine, the professors’ meeting room, the library, the graduate school, and the school of nursing. In August 2012, the building was reopened as Chonnam National University Medical Museum.
**Yongbonggwan Hall
***Yongbonggwan Hall was built in 1957 to serve as the main building of Chonnam National University. It was expanded in the 1970s-80s and was used as the university’s headquarters until May 1996. It then served as the university’s Lifelong Education Center until being remodeled in 2012 to house the Chonnam National University History Museum and the May 18 Memorial Hall. Visible from the university’s main gate, this building is of symbolic and historic significance as a structure from the early period of the campus’s formation. A four-story brick building with an area of 798.78 m², Yongbonggwan Hall is known to have been designed by Kim Seong-chu, a university employee. The building has a symmetrical facade and internal layout, with its main entrance in the center topped by a tall clock tower. This kind of design was popularly used for public buildings in the 1950s-60s.
*Education Museum of Gwangju National University of Education
**This two-story red brick building was completed in 1957 as the main building of Gwangju Teachers’ College (today’s Gwangju National University of Education). It was later used as the university’s lecture hall, an affiliated elementary school, and an elementary education training institute. Since 2009, it has been used as an education museum. The building was designed by the architect Kim Han-seop, who was active in the Jeollanam-do and Jeju regions. The building has a symmetrical design with the entrance and stairs in the center and classrooms on either side. In order to realize a Modernist aesthetic during the 1950s when reinforced cement was rare, brick formwork pillars were used to reinforce the lateral load. The building’s roof is made of wood. Overall, this building is valued as an early example of Korean Modernist architecture in the history of modern architecture and education.

='''Houses of Gwangju: Living Heritage of Time and Memory'''=

== Narrative==
Across Gwangju, traditional Korean houses stand as living testaments to the city’s layered history, cultural transformation, and enduring human stories. From the noble residences of influential families to the modest homes that preserved records of everyday life, these houses reflect how architecture intertwined with the rhythms of their time.

Some, like [[김용학가옥|Kim Yong-hak’s House]] and [[이장우가옥|Yi Jang-u’s House]], embody the encounter between Korean tradition and Western influence in the early twentieth century. Others, such as the [[사동 최부잣집|Noble House of the Choe Family in Sa-dong]] and [[최승효가옥|Choe Seung-hyo’s House]], reveal the evolution of modern architecture rooted in heritage, family, and art. [[고원희가옥|Go Won-hui’s House]] carries the legacy of loyalty and patriotism from the turbulent years of the Japanese invasions, while [[김봉호가옥|Kim Bong-ho’s House]] quietly preserves decades of rural life through detailed personal diaries.

Together, these homes form an architectural and human map of Gwangju—one that tells stories of devotion, adaptation, and resilience. Through them, we glimpse not only the changing forms of Korean domestic architecture but also the values and memories that have shaped the city’s identity across centuries.

=Gwangju Airport: The Beginning of the City’s Air Route=

== Narrative ==
In 1939, during the Japanese colonial period, the opening of the [[상무대 비행장|Sangmu Airfield]] marked the beginning of air transportation in Gwangju. The Japanese Navy Air Corps, known as the [[광주항공대|Gwangju Air Corps]], was stationed there, and nearby on [[사월산|Sawolsan Mountain]], underground storage facilities were constructed to hold fuel and bombs for airfield operations. After Korea’s liberation, the airfield was renamed [[광주비행장|Gwangju Airfield]] and continued to serve military purposes. With the growing demand for civil aviation, it was later expanded into a joint military and civilian airport. In 1964, it was relocated to [[신촌동|Sinchon-dong]] and renamed [[광주공항|Gwangju Airport]]. Today, it is home to the [[제1전투비행단|Republic of Korea Air Force’s 1st Fighter Wing]]. The airport once operated both domestic and international flights, but its international routes were transferred to [[무안국제공항|Muan International Airport]]. Located near [[상무대로|Sangmu-daero Road]], Gwangju Airport remains a symbolic site that embodies the modern history of Gwangju, tracing its transformation from a wartime military base to a modern air transport hub.

=The Noble House of the Choe Family in Sa-dong: A Space Reflecting Modern Gwangju’s Architecture and Life=

== Narrative ==
The [[사동_최부잣집|Noble House of the Choe Family in Sa-dong]] is one of the representative examples of modern traditional Korean houses in Gwangju and an important heritage site that reflects the city’s economic foundation and architectural culture in the early 20th century. The house was built in 1942 by [[최상현|Choe Sang-hyeon (1881-1945)]], an independence activist and wealthy landowner, for his son [[최성숙|Choe Seong-suk]]. It was completed on the foundation of the family’s wealth and social standing inherited from his father, [[최명구|Choe Myeong-gu (1852-1913)]]. Another residence built by Choe Sang-hyeon is [[최승효가옥|Choe Seung-hyo’s House]], located in Yangnim-dong.

The Noble House of the Choe Family in Sa-dong is a grand residence consisting of four stories, including an attic—an uncommon scale for a traditional Korean house. Although several buildings originally stood within the premises, only the main building and a storage house remain today. Through the Modern Architecture Digital Archive Project, the City of Gwangju has produced virtual reality videos and 3D animations to help citizens experience the architectural beauty and historical significance of the house in an engaging way.

Three of the trees are designated as Natural Monuments and are carefully preserved as part of the cultural and natural heritage of the region, while the other two remain closely tied to the daily life of their local communities. These trees not only mark the passage of seasons but also quietly carry the stories of their surroundings through time.

=A Journey through the Literary Legacy of Gwangju’s Four Poets=

== Narrative ==
[[광주문학관|Gwangju Literature Museum]] is dedicated to honoring the lives and works of four major literary figures of the city: [[박용철|Bak Yong-cheol (1904-1938)]], pioneer of pure poetry; [[김현승|Kim Hyeon-seung (1913-1975)]], known as the poet of solitude; [[정소파|Jeong So-pa (1912-2013)]], a trailblazer of modern sijo poetry; and [[문병란|Mun Byeong-ran (1935-2015)]], a poet of protest. Though they lived in different times, they are united by their deep connection to Gwangju and to Korean literature.

Bak Yong-cheol led the pure poetry movement during the Japanese colonial period (1910–1945). In Gwangju, [[용아로|Yonga-ro]] is named after his pen name, and [[용아생가|his birthplace]] is preserved in Sochon-dong. His wife, [[임정희|Im Jeong-hui]], ran [[신성다방|Sinseong Tea House]], which served as a gathering place for local writers of the time.

Kim Hyeon-seung settled in Gwangju in 1919, when his father, [[김창국|Kim Chang-guk]], was appointed pastor of [[광주양림교회|Gwangju Yangnim Church]]. A self-service cafe named [[다형다방|Dahyeong Tea House]], which was in operation from 2012 to 2017, commemorated his literary spirit. Today, the [[김현승문학실|Kim Hyeon-seung Literary Room]] within the [[조선대학교 박물관|Chosun University Museum]] offers insight into his body of work.

Jeong So-pa devoted his life to modern sijo poetry. A monument dedicated to him now stands in the [[광주예술의전당 조각공원|Sculpture Park of the Gwangju Culture and Art Center]].

Mun Byeong-ran, who wrote in solidarity with the people, is remembered through his former residence, the [[시인 문병란의 집|Poet Mun Byeong-ran’s House]], and the [[서은문병란문학연구소|Seoeun Mun Byeong-ran Literature Institute]]. This institute carries on his legacy by hosting the annual [[문병란 문학제|Mun Byeong-ran Literary Festival]] and the [[문병란문학상|Mun Byeong-ran Literary Award]].

The route then visits the [[오웬기념각|Owen Memorial Hall]], honoring Owen’s work; the [[소심당 조아라 기념관|Sosimdang Jo A-ra Memorial Hall]], commemorating independence activist [[조아라|Jo A-ra (1912-2003)]]; and the [[오방최흥종기념관|Obang Choi Heung-jong Memorial Hall]], honoring the life of the people’s pastor [[최흥종|Choi Heung-jong (1880-1966)]].

Next on the path are the [[유진벨선교기념관|Eugene Bell Memorial Hall]] and the [[광주 구 수피아여학교 커티스 메모리얼 홀|Curtis Memorial Hall of the Former Jennie Speer Memorial School for Girls]], where visitors can experience the educational and evangelical spirit of early Christian missions. The tour concludes at the [[양림동호랑가시나무 언덕|Horned Holly Hill]] and the [[양림동 선교사 묘역|Yangnim-dong Missionary Cemetery]], where the lives and legacies of missionaries who served during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945) are remembered. The cemetery is officially designated as a [[한국기독교사적|Historic Site of Korean Christianity]].

=In Search of Light and Truth: A Modern Architectural Tour of Yangnim-dong=

== Narrative ==

In Search of Light and Truth is a walking tour through the historic Christian missionary architecture of Yangnim-dong in Gwangju. In the early 20th century, American missionaries settled in the area, establishing hospitals, schools, and churches that left a lasting impact on the community—an influence still visible today.

The tour includes the [[오웬기념각|Owen Memorial Hall]], [[어비슨기념관|Avison Memorial Hall]], [[유진벨선교기념관|Eugene Bell Memorial Hall]], and [[우일선선교사사택|Missionary Wilson’s House]]. Each site reflects the roots of modern medicine and education in Gwangju and serves as a historical testament to the lives and work of the missionaries. Notably, Missionary Wilson’s House is the oldest existing Western-style residence in Gwangju, preserving the everyday life of a missionary from a century ago.

Walking through the alleyways of Yangnim-dong and exploring these buildings offers more than sightseeing—it is a journey into the meaning of light and truth that quietly took root in Gwangju over a hundred years ago.

=Bak Ho-ryeon: The Last Boatman of Seochangnaru Ferry Dock=

== Narrative ==
Many ferryboats once traveled along the [[영산강|Yeongsangang River]]. Among them, [[서창나루|Seochangnaru Ferry Dock]], located near [[서창교|Seochanggyo Bridge]], was a frequently used crossing point since the Joseon period (1392–1910). The area was named after a nearby government warehouse, Seochang, which stored tax grain. A post station called [[극락원|Geungnagwon]] also stood nearby, likely serving government officials, Buddhist monks, and other travelers. The last boatman known to have worked at this ferry was [[박호련|Bak Ho-ryeon (1892–1946)]].

Bak Ho-ryeon was known for his compassion, often helping the poor and hungry as if their hardships were his own. His dedication and generous spirit at the dock left a lasting impression on the local community. In recognition of his contributions, [[박호련 시혜불망비|two commemorative steles]] were erected in 1925 and 1929; they are now preserved in the [[서창동 비석군|Steles in Seochang-dong]]. Nearby, the [[서창한옥문화관|Seochang Hanok Cultural Center]] includes a room named the “Bak Ho-ryeon Room,” established to honor his legacy as a respected local figure. The traces of his humble life remain quietly embedded in the history of Seochangnaru Ferry Dock.

=Voices of the Captives: Records from the Japanese Invasions of Korea=

== Narrative ==
The [[임진왜란|Japanese invasion of 1592–1598]] plunged Korea into the chaos of war. Countless Koreans were taken as prisoners to Japan, and some among them left written accounts of their experiences in foreign lands. These writings not only convey the personal voices of those who endured captivity but also offer insight into the political awareness and intellectual reflections of Korean scholars. Moreover, they go beyond personal testimony to provide valuable information about Japanese society at the time and the daily lives of Korean captives.

[[강항|Kang Hang (1567–1618)]], a civil official, recorded his experiences in the [[간양록|Ganyangnok (Record of the Shepherd)]], meticulously documenting the horrors of captivity and the conditions he observed in Japan. He also presented his views on how Korea should prepare for future invasions. After returning to Korea, he composed a commemorative ridge beam inscription for the rebuilding of [[광주향교|Gwangjuhyanggyo Local Confucian School]] in 1600; this text is also included in the Record of the Shepherd.

[[노인|No In (1566–1622, pen name: Geumgye)]], a military official, was held in Japan for three years before escaping and returning to Korea via Ming China in 1599. His journal, [[노인 금계일기|Geumgye ilgi (Diary of Geumgye)]], details not only the daily life of a wartime captive but also his careful observations of customs and culture in both Japan and China. This work is currently housed at the [[국립광주박물관|Gwangju National Museum]].

[[정희득|Jeong Hui-deuk (1573–1623, pen name: Wolbong)]] wrote [[월봉해상록|Wolbong haesangnok (Wolbong’s Record at Sea)]], describing his experience as a captive during a sea voyage and offering a vivid portrayal of the chaos and realities of war from a prisoner’s perspective.

Both Kang Hang and No In were later commemorated at [[무광사|Mugwangsa Shrine]] in Gwangju, and their legacy is preserved today as part of the region’s collective memory.

=Sapyeong Station: A Fictional Place, a Literary Memory=

== Narrative ==
[[남광주역(기차)|Namgwangju Station]], located in southern Gwangju, was closed in 2000 and disappeared from the map. Yet it inspired poet [[곽재구|Gwak Jae-gu (1954- )]] to create Sapyeong Station, a fictional setting in his poem “[[사평역에서|At Sapyeong Station]]”. Reflecting on the solitude of the waiting room and those who endure life’s hardships in silence, the poem evokes sorrow rooted in historical pain. It was first published in the [[중앙일보|JoongAng Ilbo]] in 1981 and later included in the 1983 poetry collection At Sapyeong Station by [[창비|Changbi Publishers]].

The poem later inspired novelist [[임철우|Im Chul-woo (1954- )]], who wrote a short story of the same title. Set in a desolate train station on the city’s edge, the story extends the poem’s mood into prose, quietly restoring fragments of forgotten memory. Both Gwak and Im experienced the [[5.18민주화운동|May 18 Democratic Uprising]], and Im would later depict the full scope of that event in his novel [[소설 봄날|Spring Day]] (1998), a powerful narrative of collective trauma and remembrance.

Though Sapyeong Station is fictional, it lives on in literature as a symbolic site of Gwangju’s memory, shaped by those who bore witness to a painful chapter in modern Korean history.

=Echoes of Seopyeonje: Transforming Tradition into Culture=

== Narrative ==
The [[남도판소리서편제|Southern school of pansori (epic chant)]] once echoed through the mountains and waterways of the Jeolla region, including Gwangju, serving as a regionally rooted art form and a narrative expression of the Korean people’s emotions. Among its various styles, [[서편제|seopyeonje (western style)]] became widely known for its aesthetics of sorrowful expression and established a distinct artistic lineage. This tradition originated with the master singer [[박유전|Bak Yu-jeon (1835-1906)]] and spread throughout the southern region through his disciples.

Writer [[이청준|Yi Cheong-jun (1939-2008)]] captured the aesthetics and artistic spirit of seopyeonje in literary form through his works Seopyeonje and [[선학동 나그네|Seonhakdong nageune (The Wanderer of Seonhakdong Village)]]. These stories portrayed the decline of traditional arts, the conflict within artistic families, and the disconnection of sound from its era, using the lives of itinerant singers to reflect the pain and nobility inherent in art. Yi’s works were later adapted into films by director [[임권택|Im Kwon-taek (1934– )]], a major figure in Korean cinema, resulting in Seopyeonje (1993) and Beyond the Years (2007). Through visual artistry and music, Im translated the emotional core of the original stories into cinematic narratives, elevating seopyeonje into a shared cultural memory of a generation.

Since then, seopyeonje has been reinterpreted in various forms such as musicals and traditional Korean opera, evolving from classical art into cultural content shaped by changing media and times. Today, seopyeonje is no longer merely a musical school—it has become a symbolic narrative of Korean culture, expanding from traditional art into modern content.

=Yeolsaga (The Songs of Patriotic Martyrs): The Beginning of Contemporary Creative Pansori=

== Narrative ==
[[열사가|Yeolsaga (The Songs of Patriotic Martyrs)]] is a series of works that weave together the biographical facts of Korea’s anti-Japanese resistance heroes, considered a pioneering piece of modern creative [[판소리|pansori (epic chant of Korea)]]. This work was created by [[박동실|Bak Dong-sil (1897-1968)]], a master of the [[남도판소리서편제|seopyeonje (western style)]] of pansori, who sought to vividly convey the lives of heroes who fought for the nation through traditional Korean music. The main figures in these works include [[권율|Gwon Yul]], [[이순신|Yi Sun-sin]], [[전봉준|Jeon Bong-jun]], [[이준|Yi Jun]], [[유관순|Yu Gwan-sun]], [[윤봉길|Yun Bong-gil]], and [[안중근|An Jung-geun]]. Gwon Yul and Yi Sun-sin were brave commanders during the [[임진왜란|Japanese invasions of 1592-1598]]. Jeon Bong-jun was a leader of the [[동학농민운동|Donghak Peasant Revolution]], fighting for the rights of the people. Yi Jun served as a Hague envoy, striving diplomatically for Korea’s independence on the international stage. Yu Gwan-sun, Yun Bong-gil, and An Jung-geun were independence fighters who dedicated themselves to the liberation of Korea during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945). The lyrics of The Songs of Patriotic Martyrs encapsulate their noble achievements and courage. In Gwangju, there are cultural heritage sites related to the figures featured in The Songs of Patriotic Martyrs, specifically An Jung-geun and Gwon Yul. The [[광주공원 선정비군|Steles in Gwangju Park]] include the [[권율 창의비|Stele of Gwon Yul]], while [[중외공원|Jungoe Park]] features the [[안중근 의사 숭모비|Stele of An Jung-geun]] and [[안중근 의사 동상|his statue]]. These sites are deeply connected with the themes of The Songs of Patriotic Martyrs, allowing visitors to profoundly feel Korea’s grand history and yearning for independence.

=Gwangju Gwonbeon: Inheriting the Legacy of Korean Traditional Performing Arts=

== Narrative ==
[[광주권번|Gwangju Gwonbeon (Institute for Female Professional Entertainers)]] originated from the [[광주예기조합|Association of Gwangju Female Entertainers]] and served as both a gathering place for traditional artists and an art school in the Gwangju area. This institute made significant contributions to the cultivation and preservation of Korean traditional arts such as [[판소리|pansori]] and dance, with impacts that resonate to this day. Pansori master [[박동실|Bak Dong-sil (1897-1968)]] nurtured many successors, including [[공대일|Gong Dae-il (1911-1990)]], [[한애순|Han Ae-sun (1924-2014)]], and [[박송희|Bak Song-hui (1927-2017)]], ensuring the continuation of traditional arts for future generations. Another esteemed pansori master, [[김소희|Kim So-hui (1917-1995)]], married geomungo instructor [[박석기|Bak Seok-gi (1899-1952)]], and their daughter [[박윤초|Bak Yun-cho (1944-)]] also emerged as a prominent pansori master. Bak Yun-cho further honed her skills by learning traditional dance from [[이매방|Yi Mae-bang (1925-2015)]], showcasing talent in both fields. The legacy of Gwangju Gwonbeon lives on through the [[광주국악원|Gwangju National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts]], which later evolved into the [[광주시립창극단|Gwangju Municipal Changgeuk Company]], maintaining its status as a hub of traditional arts. These institutions not only preserve pansori and Korean dance but also modernize and sustain various traditional arts, playing a key role as cultural assets of the region.

Through this, she naturally became familiar with the Western missionaries and the [[광주양림교회|Gwangju Yangnim Church]]. In 1944, she married the singer Kim Saeng-ok, who had studied in Tokyo. However, she lost her husband in 1948 in the [[여순사건|Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion]]. From then on, she devoted herself to caring for 45 orphans at [[우일선선교사사택|Missionary Wilson’s House]] in [[양림역사문화마을|Yangnim History and Culture Village]] from 1949 to 1952, as the family had returned to America in 1948. Then, in 1952, she officially founded Choonghyunwon Orphanage in 1952 in Yangnim Village, with her work being continued by her daughter-in-law, [[유혜량|Yu Hye-ryang]].

=Minister Choe Heung-jong and His Devotion to Leprosy Patients=

== Narrative ==
[[최흥종|Choi Heung-jong (1880-1966]] (pen name: Obang) was a Christian pastor and independence activist active during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945).

Choi practiced Christian values throughout his life and greatly influenced the modern history of Gwangju through his devotion to aiding the poor, the anti-colonial independence movement, the education of the people, and missionary work. He served as the first minister of [[광주중앙교회|Gwangju Central Church]], which began on Christmas Day, 1904, with a service led by American Missionary [[배유지|Eugene Bell (1868-1925)]]. In 1912, he became the first elder in Gwangju’s Protestant community. In 1919, after participating in the [[광주_3.1운동|March First Independence Movement]], he was imprisoned for 16 months. After being released in 1920, he played a pivotal role in establishing the [[광주_YMCA|Gwangju YMCA]]. In 1927, he became the head of the [[신간회_광주지회|Gwangju Branch of the United Front for Independence (Singanhoe)]], an independence movement organization. Choi dedicated his life to helping [[한센병자|Hansen’s disease patients]], founding the [[광주나병원|Gwangju Leprosy Hospital]] in 1912 and [[애양원|Aeyangwon Clinic]] in 1927 and contributing the [[광주제중원|Jejung Hospital]] (today’s [[광주기독병원|Kwangju Christian Hospital]]) together with the Western missionaries [[서서평|Elisabeth J. Shepping (1880-1934)]], [[윌리 포사이드|Wiley Hamilton Forsythe (1873-1918)]], and [[우일선|Robert M. Wilson (1880-1963)]].

In 1990, the Korean Government posthumously honored Choi with the 5th grade of the Order of Merit for National Foundation, the National Medal. On October 16, 2019, [[오방최흥종기념관|Obang Choi Heung-jong Memorial Hall]] was opened to commemorate Choi’s work and teachings. [[오방로|Obang-ro Road]] in Gwangju is named after him.

=The Mother of Gwangju: Jo A-ra=

== Narrative ==
[[조아라|Jo A-ra (1912-2003)]] *pen name: Sosimdang) is considered the “Mother of Gwangju” for her service in the realm of education, social welfare, human rights, and the democratization movement. Born in Naju, Jo was a Christian and sought to share with the poor and serve the community in the Christian spirit. Jo attended [[수피아여학교|Speer Memorial Girls’ School]] in 1927, where her teacher was [[김필례|Kim Pil-rye (1891-1983)]], who founded the [[광주_YWCA|Gwangju YWCA]]. After graduating in 1931, she went to work as a teacher at [[이일학교|Neel Girl’s School]]. However, in 1933, it was found out that an anti-Japanese group had been organized at Speer Girls’ School in 1929 while she was a student, which led to her losing her position at Neel Girls’ School.

After Korea’s liberation in 1945, Jo A-ra and Kim Pil-rye reopened Speer Girls’ School and continued working at the YWCA, which was rebuilt in 1947. Following the Korean War (1950-1953), she founded an orphanage, and later went on to found several schools for young women who had not received education. During the [[5.18민주화운동|May 18 Democratic Uprising]], the YWCA became a center of the resistance operation, and Jo played an active role in organizing and preparing food for the demonstrators. She was arrested and jailed for six months as a result. In 2015, the [[소심당_조아라_기념관|Sosimdang Jo A-ra Memorial Hall]], was built in her honor in Yangnim-dong.
