The work means restoration of lost history to South Korea and straightening up of distortion history to North Korea. And the work criticize closed China nationalism too. Because the work arouses nationalism solidarity based on a proletarian internationalism. Hence, experience of Chosun volunteer army is an archetype in literature of Kim Hak-Cheol that overcome a doctrinaire communism and head for a human communism. He talks to global citizens with ‘socialism in human face’. So his work has possiblity of diaspora literature by ethnic Koreans living in China. Humanism in <The Myth of 20th century> overcome ideological criticism. Because the work raises a basic question to repressive socialism regime. This means his literature has the capacity to be a world literature. Because his work basis of common sympathy that surpass regime or ideology and nation or state. So that makes a true communist who isn't bound by principle. We can see a new possibility of Korean diaspora literature through the life and literature by Kim Hak-Cheol. Because he is ethnic of Korea but isn't to be Korean, also he is Chinese but isn't to be ethnic of China. So his life and literature involves so many kind of nation, state, culture and history already.
