Kim Chang-do, of the Andong Kim clan, served as a company commander in the volunteer army of the Daehan Tongui-bu and as a fundraising officer in its finance department. In July 1923, while in Tonghua County to arrange a meeting between his organization and the rival Daehan Uigun-bu, led by Yi Jong-geon, in hopes of easing tensions between the two, his party was ambushed by roughly forty Chinese troops before negotiations could even begin, and he fell in combat along with three comrades.
He was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation, Patriotic Order, in 2008.
