On March 26, 1900 when it was drizzling, Ahn was executed
at Lushun Prison. Ahn wore the clothes sent from his
hometown the previous day and, being guarded by four
prison officers, was called to the execution place four hours
earlier than scheduled and arrived at a waiting room beside
the gallows. Ahn wore silk clothes up and down. The contrast
between white jeogori (traditional Korean jacket) and black
pants was so striking enough to make the witnesses emotional
as if the colors symbolized the fortune of a prisoner who with
in a few minutes would move from a bright place to a dark world.
