The Gando (Jiandao) massacre was a mass murder committed by the Japanese military against the Korean residents of Jiandao (Gando, in today's Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin, China), after the Hunchun incident.[1]

The massacre occurred over a period of three weeks starting in October 1920, the day of the Hunchun Incident after the Battle of Qingshanli. During this period, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army murdered Korean civilians who numbered an estimated at least 5,000,[2][3] and perpetrated widespread rape.[1]
