AB - Chae, Man-Sik was known as a writer who suffered from numerousdiseases in his life and eventually died of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Therefore, this writing tried to combine medical knowledge with his"illness" in his essay. The reason why this writing paid attention to hisessay to understand his disease is that his essay is an effective genrethat reveals his story as a direct statement.
Chae, Man-Sik had suffered neurasthenia when he was middle school,and the disease became a chronic disease. As he grew up, he hadsuffered from insomnia,depressive disorder, alcohol dependence, dyspepsia,tinnitus, intercostal neuralgia and pulmonary tuberculosis with his poorlife. Thus, this essay planned from the expectiation that it could help tounderstatnd his body and disesase in detail, unlike the literary ormetaphorical approach to Chae, Man-Sik’s life and disease, by combininghis illness with medical knowldege.
Ironically, 'Chae, Man-Sik' and 'disease' are important because hesecured his identity through his weakening body. In other words, hecould communicate between his inner world and the outer through hispainful body and gain insight into life and death. Since there has been nomedical research on his body and disease, this writing can be consideredas a fusion of literature and medicine. The record of Chae, Man-Sik'sdisease was a symbolic or written directly print of the language ofsuffering and despair in reality.
