ABSTRACT

Prior to modern times, China maintained a feudal state relationship with Korea. This Korea-China relationship originated from the Chinese worldview. After the Opium War, China became the subject of invasion by the imperialist powers. In this way, it has been reduced to colonies and anti-colonies by the force of imperialist powers, and China and Korea share similar modern and contemporary experiences of the anti-Japanese movement. In the process, the two countries have a similar sense of solidarity. This sense of solidarity is summoned as a figure in literary works. After the defeat of the Japanese colonial rule, China experienced a war of ideology called the Korean War. In this war, China dispatched troops to North Korea in the name of international solidarity of the socialist country. However, in the 21st century, the history of division of the Korean Peninsula is being erased in the memory of "Anti-U.S & support North Korea." to the Korean War. This elimination is evident in the movie "Main Melody Films" based on “Anti-U.S & support North Korea”. This can be attributed to the deterioration of the U.S.-China relations and the international status of G2 that China had in the 21st century. In this paper, we attempt to learn about the perspective of Chinese literature, such as novels and movies since modern times, summoning Korea's anti-Japanese movement and division history.
