해방 전 중국 유이민 소설에 나타난 아편의 의미

Abstract

Opium, like the requisite of life, is indispensable in immigrants. They looked opium as the way to improve their earning, and also, the port of their spirit. A majority of druggers and drugpushers was farmer. There were also student abroad, clerisy and resist-Japan precursor, etc. Their starts were different, but desperate and hopeless results same. Opium became the hell of immigrants since hit the pipe. It had been though that it’s the aggression from Japan that tragically brought men to sell their wife and daughter. However, in a large degree, it also due to the opium that makes men as its slave. It was mere the tragic and desperate world brought from opium. This is the meaning of opium that appeared in the fictions depicting Chinese immigrants before korean liberation.
