Abstract

In the former half of the 20th century, Chinese literature joined the flow of world literature in the transition from tradition to modernity. It was during that period that a noteworthy literary phenomenon happened in Chinese literature. It involved the emergence of works that described foreigners and foreign lives and the translation of literary works of many different countries into Chinese. Part of the literary phenomenon, the works related to Korea and Koreans claim a certain position in the history of Chinese literature. The works related to Korea and Koreans in that period can be divided into two categories; one includes the works that depict Koreans' overseas lives, wandering lives and struggles to gain back independence in China and Russia after Korean Empire fell into the colonial rule of Japan; the other category includes the works that depict Koreans and their lives in Korea during the colonial days. A good number of Korean and Chinese researchers have conducted researches on modern Chinese literature since a Chinese professor named Wang Yao did “A Study on the Modern Chinese Literary Works Related to Korea and Koreans” in 1951. According to the investigator's examination, the researchers have discovered 63 “modern Chinese literary works related to Korea and Koreans” so far and developed discussions about them. As argued in Chapter 2, however, their researches have disclosed some shortage in the aspect of “discovering works related to Korea and Koreans.” The investigator set out to examine total 150 modern Chinese literary works and total 29 translated works related to Korea and Korean to promote researchers' understanding of “modern Chinese literary works related to Korea and Koreans.”
