Dr. Schofield, a Foreigner Who Loved Korea
On February 28, 1919, a man came to Dr. Schofield’s house.
Dr. Schofield, I have a special favor to ask you.
What can I do for you?
Many people are going to gather tomorrow for the independence of Korea.
Could you take pictures of the event and share them with the world?
At 2 p.m. on March 1, Dr. Schofield was hiding in a building and saw a large group of people gathering outside.
He began to take pictures.
Unbelievable! There are so many people here.
I hope the world will learn about this important event through my pictures.
Do you know Seok Hopil?
His English name was Frank W. Schofield, but he loved his Korean name.
It sounded similar to his real name, and it also had a good meaning.
Dr. Schofield was a Canadian doctor, and he first came to Korea in 1916 to teach medicine.
He wanted to teach in Korean, so he began to learn Korean right away.
He studied so hard that he was able to teach in Korean after only a few years.
He believed that every country has the right to be independent, so he helped the Korean independence movement.
On March 1, 1919, Dr. Schofield heard people shouting for Korean independence in Tapgol Park.
He took pictures of the event with his camera.
He then wrote an article about the historic event and sent it to foreign newspapers with his pictures.
Dr. Schofield’s fight for Korean independence didn’t stop even after the March 1st Movement.
He continued to write about the terrible situation in Korea for foreign newspapers.
He was under the watchful eye of the Japanese police, so he had to go back to Canada in 1920.
In 1958, he returned to Korea at the invitation of the Korean government and never left again.
For the rest of his life, he worked hard to help Koreans, especially poor students.
Dr. Schofield died in April 1970, and he was buried in Seoul National Cemetery.
