Ahn Jung-geun is hailed as a Korean independence hero, a patriotic martyr who took grave risks and sacrificed his life for the cause of freedom from Japanese occupation of his homeland.
Ahn, a Buddhist-turned-Catholic, shot dead Hirobumi Ito, a four-time prime minister of Japan and the first Japanese governor of Korea, on Oct. 26, 1909, at Harbin train station in China.
