In-Game Description

Ever since the Japanese occupation, the Korean people had never lost their hope for independence. After the March 1st Movement in 1919 failed, the resistance shifted their focus abroad. Jiandao, meaning "Middle Island", became a key site for the Korean independence movement in Northeastern China because of its sizable Korean population. The massacre in 1920 did not deprive the Korean people of their spirit. Since 1930, backed by the Chinese Communists, local Koreans staged several armed revolts and faced brutal repression from the Fengtian Army and the Japanese. The survivors, however, moved northward into the heartland of Dongbei and continued their struggle. The establishment of Manchukuo resulted in waves of Korean immigrants, and the Japanese moved in to quell the resistance. For decades, the Gando Special Force, a Korean-majority unit of the Manchurian Imperial Army, had been crushing their own people with ruthless force, but their bloodshed still lingers in the city's memory.
