Everyday Lives
The Japanese attacked China with the Manchurian Incident in 1931. Accordingly, the independence movement became a long struggle for Koreans. The history of the Korean Provisional Government was 27 years of continuous patience and struggle, for 13 years in Shanghai, for 8 years wandering across China, and for 5 years in Chongqing. Each period saw its own trials, but the period of migration brought the most difficult times because the government had to always prepare to leave one spot after another in contrast to the relatively settled times in Shanghai and in Chongqing.
