Kuandian Meeting and Kim Hyong-jik
The Kuandian Meeting was held in Hongtong District, Kuandian County, China, in August 1919. At the meeting Kim Hyong Jik set forth the strategic policy of developing the Korean anti-Japanese national liberation movement onto a new high.

Attending the meeting were the heads of various districts and liaison agents of the Korean National Association and chiefs of the organizations for independence.

At the three-day meeting he put forward a new, strategic policy of shifting the anti-Japanese national liberation movement from a nationalist to a proletarian movement.

For this, he stressed that members of the association should be equipped with the communist ideology, firmly build up the revolutionary ranks with workers and peasants as the main force by giving wide publicity to this ideology among the masses, and conduct vigorous armed activities.

With the Kuandian Meeting as a momentum, a struggle was waged to shift the anti-Japanese national liberation movement from a nationalist to a proletarian movement.
