ABSTRACT

In 1930, Shen Zijiu published seven works of literature in the Right-wing nationalist literary periodical 《Changfeng》. The themes include anti-imperialism, anti-communism, criticism of social phenomenon, and praise of historical figures, which often appeared in nationalist literature. This creation seems to be an attempt to find a way to solve social problems while reflecting social reality. In addition, we could see that her political trend at that time still belongs to the Right. Among them, the novel 《Living Machine》, which was created based on real events, depicts the miserable reality that Chinese and Korean workers in Japan were exploited by Japanese capitalists in the 1920s and even massacred by Japanese after the Great Kanto Earthquake. As an intellectual, Shen Zijiu recorded historical events in the form of literature, showing interest in workers. Therefore, it has both literary and historical values. The novel describes a character named Kim Gye-saeng, a Korean worker. Compared to other Korean images already discovered, Kim Gye-saeng is a character with peculiarity, which served as an opportunity to expand the case of Korean figures in modern Chinese literature.
