Dr. Suh-yang Pak(朴瑞陽, 1885-1940) was a physician and educator and intellectual in early modern Korea. He was the first graduate of Severance Medical College and worked in his alma mater for about 10 years. However, after the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, the Japanese government-general of Korea took various measures to shut down mission schools that inspire nation consciousness and promote anti-Japanese consciousness. The government-general urged professors to lecture in Japanese language. Dr. Pak, who knows that it is a Japanese crafty trying to destroy the spirit of Chosen, resigned the college and decided move to Jiandao(間島, hereinafter “Gando”). Dr. Pak's migration to Gando and activities after migration show his spirit of resistance to Japanese Imperialism. He strived for freedom and peace of his people. So he set up a school for his fellow country people who immigrated to Gando, and founded a hospital. Since Gando Massacre(間島慘變, 1920), Korean society in Gando was divided by religion and ideology, and factions were in conflict with each other. At that time, the group which Dr. Pak joined was related to socialism. However he also remained as a Christian. He wouldn't want the freedom of religion to abandon his people. In other words, he chose freedom for his people. He was the medical doctor who loved his brothers, waiting for the liberation of the people, and was ahead of his time.
