吳濁流의『亞細亞的孤兒』연구

Abstract

Wu zhuoliu's novel “Orphans of Asia” plays a significant role in understanding the modern history of Taiwan and Northeast Asia by exposing the political, educational, and economic conditions of Taiwanese society during the Japanese colonial period. He was born in 1900 and passed away in 1976 at the age of 77. His life spans from 1895, when Taiwan was ceded to Japan, to 1945, when Taiwan was liberated, and during the reign of the Nationalist government in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that his life is historical and realistic in Taiwan's modern history. In particular, Taiwan, which experienced 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, has in common with Korea's Japanese colonial period in that it is a continuous life of oppression and exploitation, confrontation and compromise, resistance and cooperation from Japanese imperialism, both economically, socially and historically. The path that intellectuals had to live during this period was the path of the absolute group fighting against Japan, the ultra-announced group seeking personal enjoyment by breaking hope for politics, and the compromise group seeking their own rich and noble film by becoming a Japanese colleague. Taiwan as a Japanese imperial colony is an 'orphan in Asia' that does not belong anywhere between imperial Japan and nationalist China, and it ostensibly depicts the miserable fate of the colonists. but In reality, it is an appeal and rebellion against the Japanese imperialist colonial traditional society during the Japanese colonial period. Wu zhuoliu was realistically portrayed through “Orphans of Asia”.
