During the Chongqing period, the Korean Provisional Government expected Japan’s collapse in the near future and proceeded to conduct various activities. To prepare to return to Korea soon, the Provisional Government made greater efforts to educate children and young people than previously. The older generation of independence movement activists died during the long years in exile, and many of them could not return to Korea, and nor could their remains after death. But precious private memoirs of this period remain. We have the baby book of Jesi, daughter of Yang Ujo and Choe Seonhwa, the second volume of Kim Gu’s Diary (Baekbeom Ilji) that Kim Gu wrote at the Provisional Government office in Wushiye-xiang, Chongqing, and Jo So-ang’s memorandum.
