Ahn Jung-geun’s Reputation in China

Ahn Jung-geun was a Korean independence activist who assassinated the first Prime Minister of Japan, Ito Hirobumi, following the signing of the Eulsa Treaty, with Korea on the verge of annexation by Japan. Ahn gunned down Hirobumi on Harbin Railway Station in 1909. He was arrested by Russian guards who held him for two days before turning him over to Japanese colonial authorities. He was later executed.

Anyway The Korea Times has an interesting article on the modern day reputation of Ahn in China, which is not much, but there are some traces of him and his act left in Harbin apparently.
