AB - Thun Nak Chung(1875-1953) was a first-generation Korean American who was included in the Hawaiian immigrant laborers, and moved to Hawaii in 1904 and moved back to California in 1907. He made a living by working on the farm and educated his children and nephews. He wrote several novels and articles around the 1920s and 1930s, which were handed down as unpublished manuscripts and recently donated by his family to the University of Southern California. Among them, “Kujejok Kangto[Righteous Robber]” and “Owolhwa[May Flower]” the prequel, reflect the experiences of first-generation and second-generation Korean Americans. The main character of these novels is his son Jack Thun, but it is believed to reflect the experiences of the whole family on the Korean Peninsula, Hawaii, and California, as well as cultural experiences from Korean classical novels, new novels, American films and pop culture. As a result, it is understood that this reflection of the immigrant experience has given the works a kind of cultural hybridity. For example, he used the same style of writing as the Korean classical novel, but used a dialogue style similar to a new novel, and used sentences containing English words in addition to Sino-Korean words. There are also materials and themes that show the lives of Korean Americans, such as racial discrimination and unemployment problems after the Great Depression, nude paintings, hula dancing, tap dancing, and other cultural shocks encountered in America. The “Kujejok Kangto[Righteous Robber]” can be seen as a meaningful case of a hybrid and transitional work in the Korean literature in the 1930s.
