Hyoja Jeong Jae-su Memorial Hall

The Hyoja Jeong Jae-su Memorial Hall is a memorial hall built to honor the filial piety of Jeong Jae-su, who died at the young age of 10 while trying to save his father. It was established at the former Sasan Elementary School, his alma mater, and opened on June 12, 2001. As the only memorial hall in the country themed on filial piety, the Hyoja Jeong Jae-su Memorial Hall was built at the former Sasan Elementary School (the late Jeong Jae-su's alma mater) in Sasan-ri, Hwaseo-myeon, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, to reestablish the idea of filial piety, which is being forgotten in modern times, and to serve as a living educational site of filial piety for growing children. The memorial hall consists of two floors; on the first floor, the Hyoja Jeong Jae-su Room mainly displays materials related to Jeong Jae-su's filial deeds, and on the second floor, the Filial Piety Exhibition Room displays various materials that awaken the idea of filial piety and students' works related to filial deeds. In the 278㎡ video hall, various visual materials including a film based on Jeong Jae-su's filial deeds are screened, and it is also used as a discussion and meeting venue related to filial piety. On the second floor, the appearance of the old classroom has been restored in the Grade 2 Class 1 classroom where Jeong Jae-su studied. Outside, there is a statue built in 1974 and a memorial monument.
