Although "Assassination" is a Korean film about the resistance movement of Korean patriots, it is closely related to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China. For example, the assassination of General Masaaki Shirakawa mentioned in the film means that Jin Yuanfeng and Yin, a member of the North Korean Death Squad, made a plan together during the Sino-Japanese War in Songhu, Shanghai, and entered the venue of Hongkou Park in Shanghai with a bomb disguised as a thermos, killing Japanese navy general Masaaki Shirakawa in one fell swoop and seriously injuring the Foreign Minister. Shigemitsu Mamoru was disabled until he boarded the battleship Missouri and signed the surrender. Therefore, in the film, people in the resistance movement began to cheer when they saw Shigemitsu Mamoru appear on the screen, because this man is one of the achievements of the Korean resistance movement. Another example is the attack on Izumo mentioned by Lian in court. It was also Wang Yaqiao and Jin Yuanfeng who cooperated to recruit soldiers, took mines to the sea off Shanghai, sneaked under the cruiser Izumo, detonated mines and seriously injured their ships.
Therefore, a large number of scenes in the film are in Shanghai, not only because Shanghai was the front line of Sino-Japanese confrontation at that time, but also because the Korean government in exile (that is, the troops led by Jin Jiu in the film) took refuge in the French Concession in Shanghai and then moved to the rural areas of Suzhou. Where's Anwar
The Korean Independence Army, born in Yunyun, fought in Manchuria (that is, northeast China). In fact, it belongs to Kim Il Sung's team and is part of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition. Therefore, even the fierce factional strife in the film is not without reason. This factional struggle later led directly to the division of the Korean peninsula.
