On this day, 96 years ago, on November 3, 1929 (October 3, 1929, the Korean student movement broke out in Gwangju. On November 3, 1929, students in Gwangju, North Korea, began a strike and demonstration to resist Japanese colonial oppression. In 1910, Japan annexed Korea and implemented a colonial high-pressure policy. North Korean students resented the atrocities of Japanese imperialism and its enslaved education. The arrogance and insult of Japanese students to North Korean female students aroused the anger of students at Gwangju Higher Ordinary School, beating the Japanese students who acted recklessly. On November 3, 1929, a large number of Japanese police violently suppressed the situation, and students resisted tenaciously without fear of rape. The working people and Communists of Gwangju directly participated in the students 'struggle. Students across the country held demonstrations and coalition strikes in response to Gwangju students. From November 1929 to April 1930, 194 schools with more than 60,000 students were involved in the struggle. Workers and peasants across the country supported students, and workers in Busan and other places held support strikes, forming a large-scale anti-Japanese trend. The Gwangju student movement dealt a heavy blow to Japanese colonial rule.
