Picture of the Day: Remembering Kang Woo-kyu

People lay wreathes around a statue of Kang Woo-kyu (1855-1920), a Korean fighter for independence from Japanese colonial rule, during a ceremony at a plaza in front of the former Seoul Station on Sept. 2, 2016, to mark the 97th anniversary of an unsuccessful attempt in 1919 by Kang to assassinate Makoto Saito, the Japanese governor-general in Korea. Korea was under Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule. (Yonhap)
