When Ji Cheong-cheon graduated from the Japanese Military Academy, the war broke out due to the division of powers between the world powers in Goejeong, where the world was modernized. In other words, it was around the time World War I opened. Ji Cheong-cheon, who vowed to reflect on the national rule and quickly acquire military tactics with humiliating education in Japan, engaged in an unwanted war of imperialist powers. When the German troops stationed in the gyoju bay at the time refused to demand Japan's withdrawal, a massive attack by the Japanese began, and the Cheongdo Great War took place. About 29,000 Japanese troops surrounded 5,000 German soldiers who were resisting inside the castle, mobilizing dozens of battleships and hundreds of cannons to launch fierce attacks. In this battle, Ji Cheong-cheon was injured while commanding front-line units, but achieved his desired operational goal and was promoted to a lieutenant. This practical experience in the Battle of Gongseong could be a preliminary stage in which Jicheongcheon was able to defeat the Japanese in the Battle of Ssangseongbo and the Battle of Sadoja by organizing the ROK-China coalition forces after the Manchurian Incident. After the end of the Cheongdo Great War, Ji Cheong-cheon returned to Japan and continued to work in the circuit regiment. However, the mind was always in developing armed forces and then developing a massive battle against Japan. Accordingly, it was continuously maintaining contact with Korean graduates and other international students at the Japanese Military Academy, enhancing the national spirit of international students. The graduates of the Korean Military Academy held regular meetings to promote friendship even after they were assigned to their respective units. At that time, they had already become officers and most of them were living with their families from their homeland. However, one of them was an officer from a local area, and his wife was from a rural family. On the day of gathering, the wives showed their skills and shared distinctive foods, and the wife of the countryside also showed her cooking skills and brought steamed pumpkin steamed rice cakes. However, the husband officer was ashamed of this and made his wife feel safe in front of many people. "There's nothing I can do about the countryside rainbow." I can't believe it's just pumpkin steamed rice cake? Are you saying that his skills are only this good?" But Ji Cheong-cheon rather smiled and soothed the hurt feelings of the wife of the country house who heard a complaint from her husband. "What's wrong with steamed pumpkin rice cake?" Isn't it a good food where you can taste the taste of your hometown? Ma'am, give me some. "It's been a while since I've tasted my hometown." When Ji Cheong-cheon received a bowl of pumpkin steamed rice cake and began to eat it deliciously, his colleagues looked at each other's faces and soon took a touch on the bowl of rice cake. Shortly after that, the wife was chased back to her hometown, and the officer, who was her husband, fell in love with a Japanese woman and often met her as a lover, but later the Japanese woman changed her mind and married a Japanese businessman. So when he saw his friend heartbroken, Ji Cheong-cheon comforted him and said this. "Hey, pumpkin steamed rice cake is the best." In the old saying, it was called Jogangjicheo Bulhadang. Don't be too harsh on me. Are you going to put it on a girl like that? Forget it." In the process of reorganizing the world order with the end of World War I in 1918, the atmosphere for independence of the people of the weak countries gradually increased. Under the influence of the principle of national self-determination announced by Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the Korean people, who had been robbed and violated human rights for nearly a decade after the collapse of Japanese imperialism, were trying to launch a massive independence movement. Around this time, Ji Cheong-cheon's wife, Yoon Yong-ja, visited her husband in Japan. He came to convey the will of Uiam Son Byung-hee to Ji Cheong-cheon. "Is it true that Uiam is preparing for a big event?" Ji Cheong-cheon looked excited when he heard the news from his wife. "Teacher Uiam is planning to launch an anti-Japanese protest centered on international students in Japan and carry out an independence movement in one mind and body inside and outside Joseon as the atmosphere of the independence movement is rising in Joseon." Sangsang has been mentally guiding international students at the Korea Military Academy in Japan, so he asked them to lead the work as a representative of international students. "His wife Yoon Yong-ja's words were enough to shock and excite Ji Chung-cheon. Jicheongcheon finally decided to participate in the independence movement, convinced that the day of massive war was approaching. The time was early. In early February 1919, Jicheongcheon Stream decided to go to Tokyo via Gyeongdo with documents related to anti-Japanese protests. However, at the time, the Japanese police authorities sensed that the atmosphere of the independence movement was rising and did not slow down their surveillance of Korean officers, who were usually pointed out as key figures. Jicheongcheon Stream returned to the circuit as if nothing had happened because it was detected by the Japanese police's information network if it was forced to go to Tokyo. On the other hand, he began practical preparations for asylum that had been strengthened before. He secretly met Hong Sa-ik and conveyed his will and recommended him to defect together. Now, the atmosphere of the independence movement to escape from Japan's oppression and face liberation is rising at home and abroad. The day when we set our will and stand on the front line of independence of our country is now. Will you share your will with me?" But Hong Sa-ik shook his head and was told by Ji Cheong-cheon. "Do you think you can be independent?" Japan has been strong day by day, and now it is preparing to invade China. Japan has an ambition to dominate the entire Asian continent and is a country with enough power. How can you achieve independence against Japan?" "How can you say that?" Japan's forced occupation of Korea by imitating the imperialist powers is clearly a violation of peace and order in the East. If Japan is planning to invade China and other Asian empires in the future, shouldn't we stop it? If Japan takes away our sovereignty, takes away our property, and informs the world of infringement of our rights, and continues to struggle, the day of independence will surely come." "It's like hitting a rock with an egg. If we abandon our consciousness of being a Korean-Chinese and live as a citizen of the Great Japanese Empire like the Japanese, how can we openly cause dog death? If you want to desert, you can do it alone. I will not reveal to anyone that you are going to exile..." Ji Chung-cheon couldn't help but feel deep disappointment with Hong Sa-ik's sudden change of attitude. "I can't believe you've changed so much". In the end, are you going to turn a blind eye to your country and people to protect the safety of Ilshin?" Ji Cheong-cheon rose from his seat as if he no longer had to talk. Leaving behind his disappointment with his colleague Hong Sa-ik, Ji Cheong-cheon first began to create an excuse to return to his homeland. He deliberately tried to reveal that his body had weakened a lot due to poor health by drinking and skipping meals every day. When he vomited frequently and reached Sang-te, whose body became ridiculous, Ji Cheong-cheon applied for sick leave to the Japanese military authorities. The Japanese military authorities did not allow Ji Cheong-cheon at first because he was a key figure, but finally allowed a six-month vacation when Ji Cheong-cheon finally listened strongly. Thus, Jicheongcheon Stream was able to return to Korea first. Kim Kwang-seo, who had agreed since Japan at the time, also returned to Korea after receiving sick leave, and he was a graduate of the 23rd Japanese Army Academy and was working in the 1st Regiment of Japanese Army cavalry. Along with Kim Kwang-seo, Ji Cheong-cheon decided to flee to Manchuria after consulting that Manchuria and Far East Russia were strategically advantageous in developing an anti-Japanese struggle in the future. At that time, the Japanese Government-General of Korea and the Japanese military police did not stop watching Ji Cheong-cheon and Kim Kwang-seo in the aftermath of the March 1st Movement. In this situation, Ji Cheong-cheon drank frequently and jumped into the gambling zone to get out of the surveillance eye, and Kim Kwang-seo also enjoyed an obscene sex relationship with a Japanese woman who played kabuki to avoid the surveillance of the military police. Thus, in mid-April, when the boundary was judged to have been slightly loosened, Jicheongcheon succeeded in escaping to Manchuria along with Kim Kwang-seo. Before escaping, Ji Cheong-cheon told his wife as follows. "As I said at the time of marriage, I will devote myself to the war of independence for the nation and people. We may never see each other again in the future. A few days after that, the military police and detective will come and investigate my news, that is, in that case, "He usually never talks about his actions, and this time he left the house without saying anything, so I don't know where he is."Just answer that. And think that I have already gone into exile because military police and detectives have been inquiring for more than a dozen days. And after 20 days in that state, you can be relieved to know that I escaped safely," said Ji Cheong-cheon, who fled to Manchuria as an active Japanese officer, and it is of great significance that he fled to devote himself to the independence movement. The asylum of Ji Cheong-cheon and Kim Kwang-seo shocked the Japanese military authorities and the Japanese Government-General of Korea. Thus, the Japanese military police were eager to arrest Ji Cheong-cheon and Kim Kyung-cheon with a reward of 50,000 yen. The feelings of Jicheongcheon Stream crossing the Yalu River were sad because the courage for the future anti-Japanese war was soaring and on the other hand, as a people who lost their country, they went to this station and jumped into the front line of the anti-Japanese struggle. Since he escaped from the body of an active soldier, he was a shooting sentence that could not escape if caught.
I was not afraid of dying, but dying without achieving the meaning was too vain, so I thought I should change my name even if I didn't get caught. Thus, instead of the existing name Seokgyu, the new name Cheongcheon was built, and the surname Ji was rarely heard, so it was decided to be changed to Lee along with the mother. Kim Kwang-seo has also been renamed Eungcheon since then.
