Picture of the Day: Beer Pouring Remembered

Chang Ho-kwon (L), the eldest son of prominent independence fighter and dissident Chang Joon-ha, receives a glass of beer from a man pretending to be a Japanese Army officer during an event in Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo Ward on Aug. 18, 2015, to display a C-47 cargo plane as part of festivities to mark the 70th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule. The two are re-enacting an episode in which the elder Chang returned home from China aboard the same type of cargo plane and was offered a glass of beer from a Japanese officer at the now-defunct Yeouido airfield on Aug. 18, 1945, three days after Korea gained independence from the Japanese rule.
