The value of the liberation period novels has been mainly reflected in its reflection and criticism of reality. Under the influence of this understanding, relevant research has been unable to be carried out from multiple perspectives, From this point of view, the research of liberation novels still has very large space and value. Among them, Gye Yongmuk's novel, because of its neutral attitude in the literary arena at that time, its research situation is even more so. <Counting the stars>, Gye Yongmuk's late masterpiece, serialized in 1946, is a work that can fully combat this kind of fixed speech and research phenomena. Although the plot of the novel objectively reproduces the social reality at that time, However, it is of ground breaking significance to put forward the difficulty of the way of the nation as a problem and finally try to find a way out. Therefore, whether it is as the object of the re-evaluation of the liberation novels or for there interpretation of Gye Yongmuk’s novels, Its meaning is necessary to be further grasped. Although it is a novel about the restitution of villagers returning from manchuria to Korea, the author here is concerned not only with the phenomenon of overseas restitution during this period, but also with the phenomenon of the division of Korea. Returnees, as a group facing various social problems at that time, their miserable living conditions reflect the unreasonable phenomenon in the liberation period. The author gazed at the disorderly social appearance, and revealed the hidden dangers brewing in it, such as the polarization of people's thoughts, the decline of national identity and the disappearance of traditional spirit. And for the unreasonableness of this period, to put the end of its development on the destruction of national homogeneity and the failure of the establishment of national subjectivity, and tried to trace the starting point to the reality of the division of Korea. In this work, the author thinks that the severance of the north and south is not only the geographical severance, but also the ideological severance. Accordingly, he wants to realize national homogeneity by reclaiming the nation's inherent spirit and values, and as a solution to overcome ideological division. Under the circumstances of unlikely to getting rid of the geographic division immediately. It's a more intelligent way to recover human nature and morality, as well as the traditions of the people, to conquer the internal contradictions of the nation's society. Keywords:Gye Yongmuk, <Counting the stars>, liberation, repatriate novel, reinstatement, ethnic identity, division narratives, ideological severance, overcoming division
