In remembrance of Chun Tae-il

People from labor and civic groups hold an opening ceremony for the Chun Tae-il Memorial Hall near Cheonggye Stream in Seoul, Tuesday, a day before May Day. On Nov. 13, 1970, Chun, a worker at a garment factory near the stream, set himself on fire to raise awareness of the poor working conditions of garment workers. He was 22 years old. Yonhap
