Abstract

This article examines the images of the foreign people in the novels of Liang Shan-ding’s, who led the Northeast Pseudo Manchukuo period (the period of residence in Pseudo Manchukuo) literary circle with his prolific writing while working in the special temporal and spatial scene of Wei Manchukuo, and explores Liang Shan-ding’s perception of reality and narrative strategy. The purpose of this study was to reveal the significance of the study of form in the study of Liang Shan-ding’s novels and, furthermore, in the study of Pseudo Manchukuo literature. Immigrants in Liang Shan-ding’s novels generally include Russians, Koreans, and Japanese.The Russians, who descended on Manchuria as colonists after the opening of the Middle East Railway, became targets of overthrow after the ‘October Revolution’ and lived a miserable life abroad, and were reduced to subjects of Japanese colonial rule after the ‘Manchurian Incident’.Liang Shan-ding embodied them as people who suffered insults and persecution, recognized them as objects of comradeship, and attempted to realize post-colonial and anti-colonial writing by using them as ‘mirrors’.He negatively portrayed the Koreans who immigrated to Manchuria in large numbers due to the forced immigration policy of the Japanese Empire as ‘stooges’ of the Japanese Empire. This can be said to be due to his lack of comprehensive awareness of the historical reality faced by immigrant Koreans. Liang Shan-ding, conscious of the authorities’ censorship, embodied the Japanese in extremely symbolic and metaphorical ways. On the outside, he highlighted the Japanese as positive figures who loved Manchuria and were friendly toward the Manchurians, but in reality, he secretly revealed that the culprit of the suffering suffered by the lower class was Japanese imperialism. Through the study of the images of foreign nationalities in Liang Shan-ding’s novels, we were able to read the changes in literary development in colonial discourse and get a glimpse into the reality of ethnic relations in Pseudo Manchukuo, which is a path to exploring the anti-colonial and post-colonial narratives of Chinese writers in Pseudo Manchukuo.
