Abstract

This study examines the trend and characteristics of Chinese study about Korean novelist Park Tae-won. Park had been introduced first as "Ostrovskii of Joseon" to China in 1981, the year right after he finished his huge-scale history novel Gapo Peasant war volume II and after he appeared as an eminent writer who had overcome paralysis and severe illness, in the North Korean newspaper Rodong Shinmun. It is well-known that he had lost the sight of both eyes when he was writing the novel. By the way, it is relatively recent that his works has been studied in Chinese study field, especially after the year 1992 when South Korea and China signed a treaty of amity. And from 2000's various theses have started to deal with Park's work such as Chunbyun Poonggyung as a prominent work of 1930's city novels. Lots of Theses insist that Parks works contain strong characteristic and ideological position of realist novel. A large number of studies among the theses about Park's works is comparative study between Park Tae-won and the modernists of Shanghai in 1930's such as Shi Zhecun, Mu Shiying. These studies include the works which had been outside of modern literary history, both in Korea and China for several decades, in the mainstream history and literary discourse. In fact, there had been various comparative studies between Korean and Chinese modernist writers, written by Chinese students in South Korea. It would be the task of scholars of Korean literature in China to examine the works and materials produced in North Korea and to excavate new subjects of comparative study.
