2. era background
As befits the work of Lee Beom-seon , who had no dreams or hopes, it depicts Korea, which had no dreams or hopes at the time. Syngman Rhee, the background to the misfired bomb There was really no hope for the Korean economy during the regime era . The officially calculated unemployment rate was close to 30%, and the unemployment rate among college graduates was a whopping 50%. In this situation, each media outlet at the time referred to the university as a "training center for highly unemployed people equipped with knowledge." They were busy sarcastically saying, "Even if you pay high tuition and go to college, you will end up unemployed. Why pour money into universities like this? Universities are ruining the country!" There was even talk of the ' university ruin theory '.[1]
Korea was completely devastated by the fire of the Korean War . The entire city of Seoul was overflowing with disabled veterans who lost their arms and legs and were kicked out of the military, becoming unemployed or vagabonds . Disabled soldiers flocked to government buildings or banks in droves, scolding them by saying , " We fought in the battlefield for our country and got injured like this! It's hard to live because of our physical discomfort, so please give us living expenses! " Some even made a living by forcing citizens to sell useless items, such as dyed chicken feathers, to citizens on buses and stops where many people would gather . In dramas that deal with the post- war period, such as Six Brothers, there is a scene where a disabled soldier in a shabby military uniform with an iron hook, a substitute for a prosthetic hand, like Captain Hook, silently shows the hook to merchants in the marketplace and disappears after the merchants give him a couple of pieces of food or a small amount of money. This was a common scene at the time.
Of course, from the point of view of the merchants and citizens who were subjected to this behavior, it may have felt like an act of extortion against them, but the disabled veterans did not engage in acts without reason either. Because they were injured while fighting to protect their country, it became difficult for them to find work, but since the government did not pay any attention to their livelihood or situation, they had no choice but to do what they could just to make a living. Because of this, not only the police but also the soldiers were unable to do anything about these disabled veterans. First of all, morally, I felt sorry and sympathized with their situation, and if I tried to stop them by force, other disabled veterans who were affected by evil would flock in and commit even greater acts, so I did not dare to do so.
In this case, the problem would have been solved if the government stepped in and provided pensions, jobs, and housing facilities for disabled veterans, but the Korean government at that time was also very poor after the war and did not take any specific measures. They simply left the disabled veterans in a miserable state as unemployed or unemployed, and continued with inaction and neglect.
As the situation showed no signs of improving, disabled veterans began to abandon those who had fought for their country. Anger against the Liberal Party government began to sprout. When the April 19 Revolution broke out in 1960, a large number of disabled soldiers joined the demonstrators, and even soldiers who came out to suppress the protests under Syngman Rhee's orders joined the demonstrators against this background. In the end, disabled veterans became Park Chung-hee 's core support base , along with their anger toward the Rhee Syngman regime and the belief that a former soldier would be on their side and solve the livelihood of disabled veterans .[2]

4. Characters
- Song Cheol-ho: Movie version actor Kim Jin-gyu . hero. He is an ordinary family man who works as a clerk at an actuary's office . He supports his pregnant wife, young daughter, younger brother Young-ho, younger sister Myeong-sook, and mentally ill mother all by himself. Although he himself suffers from both cavities, he is a moral person who does not abandon his conscience and tries to live faithfully. He insists that he must keep his conscience and morals even to his younger brother Yeong-ho, who tries to convince him to go for an illegal hit and mentions his poverty-stricken reality.
However, contrary to his will to keep morals and live hard, the situation continues to be difficult, and he is also the character who suffers the most in the work. On the other hand , she shows contempt for the fact that Myeong-suk, the only earner in the house with him, works as a Yang Princess . From Cheol-ho's point of view, selling his body to make money seemed immoral, and it is assumed that the person who made money by doing such a thing must have been Myeong-suk, so he felt betrayed.[9]
- Song Young -ho: Moo -ryong Choi is the actor . Cheolho's brother. Unlike his brother -in -law, he is a realist who is a war veteran . After the war, he lost his direction, wandered, and was unemployed. Young -ho had been talking to Cheolho before that he was able to live well in front of Cheolho, saying that he would stop if he was able to take off all the ethics, laws and conscience .
He even used a firearm to commit a bank robbery, but he only threatened the driver of the car he stole and was unable to shoot him. In the end, he was arrested before he could run far after the driver reported him.
Unlike his previous attitude of emphasizing to his brother Cheol-ho that he must abandon his ethics and conscience in order to live well, his failure to kill the driver in the end shows that he was also unable to completely cast aside his conscience. Of course, some say he should have shot the driver after he was taken to the police station, but judging from the fact that he did not disclose information about his partner at the time of the robbery, and the police officers who were interrogating him said, 'I don't think I had any intention of shooting him from the beginning,' it can be seen that he still had some humanity left.[10][11][12] He later receives a light prison sentence, but his brother and his wife seem to be devastated by the news that he is already dead.
- Song Myeong-sook: Seo Ae-ja, an actress in the movie version. Cheol-ho and Young-ho's youngest sister. Yang Gongju against American soldiers[13] I'm working. Cheol-ho despised her because of her job, but[14] Instead of being disappointed in her brother, Myeong-sook does not react much to this. Apart from being despised by Cheol-ho, she is one of the two people responsible for the household's livelihood, so no one in her family seems able to make her quit her job.
However, Myeong-suk informs him that Cheol-ho's wife is going to the hospital, and gives him the money she earned from working as a princess.[15] At this time, Cheol-ho casts off the contempt he usually had for his sister and feels grateful to her sincerely.[16]
- Mother: Noh Jae-shin, an actor in the movie version. The mother of three siblings, a former landowner from Pyeongan Province, and a displaced person . I went crazy because of the Korean War.
Originally from a landowner, she lived affluently, so after living in Haebangchon at the end of the southern border, she showed an inability to adapt to the poor life in the south unlike her days in the north, and in the work she shouts "Let's go!" The original meaning of the word 'let's go back to the old days'! is the same as So, no matter how much Cheol-ho explained to her about the freedom she could enjoy in South Korea, she couldn't understand and kept repeating her insistence on returning to her hometown.[17] After the bombing of Yongsan, she was so completely insane that she couldn't say anything except "Let's go!"
In the second half, Cheol-ho, who has completely exploded in stress due to a series of bad things, hears his mother's "Let's go!" He gets angry at the cry of "Where are we going?", but after reluctantly performing cavity surgery to extract both molars and boarding a taxi, he, too, is lost on where to go and goes mad, "Let's go! " He loses consciousness while calling out to Man.[18]
- Wife: Movie actress Moon Jeong-sook. Cheol-ho's wife. After giving birth to her eldest child, she became pregnant with her second child, and although she was pregnant, she only looked groggy and lethargic, perhaps because she was tired of living in poverty.[19] After giving birth to her first daughter, she was pregnant with her second child, but died from excessive bleeding due to difficult birth during childbirth. The cause of death is presumed to be a difficult birth caused by the fetus in the womb trying to come out after being in an abnormal position right before birth. In the story, it is mentioned that 'the baby came out from the arms, not the head.'[20] It is presumed that the second child also died at the time of death.
In the movie, slightly different from the novel, the wife gives birth and dies from excessive blood loss, but the baby is fortunately born safely, and Myeong-sook monologues while waiting for her older brother (Cheol-ho), who has not yet arrived, while holding the baby.
- Cheol-ho's daughter: Literally Cheol-ho's daughter. Looking at the description, it appears to be a young child of about 5 or 6 years old. In the story, his name is not given, but he is referred to as a 'young one' and appears immature. He is also seen looking forward to the red shoes his uncle Youngho bought him. However, in the movie version, she appears as Song Hae-ok. In the latter half of the episode, she asks if she's going to have a younger sibling, so it seems like she's expecting one, but her mother eventually dies while giving birth to her younger sibling, her father Cheol-ho collapses from shock due to excessive bleeding due to excessive dental surgery, her uncle Young-ho is arrested for robbery, and her grandmother is insane, so now she's in a situation where the only person she can trust is her aunt Myeong-sook.[21] A hopeful guess is that if the uncle can get out after serving only a light prison sentence, not only the aunt but also the uncle will take care of the child. However, the question is whether the uncle who committed a serious crime of robbery will be released quickly (although it may be taken into account that the police did not seem to have any intention of shooting anyone).
5. digression
- This is a novel that often appears as an incorrect answer to stream of consciousness . It is a work depicting the tragedy of people who have become misfires of the times against their will, such as the main character who lives honestly despite the chaos immediately after the war, the younger brother who wanders without direction and becomes a gun robber, the mother who becomes insane, the wife who died in childbirth, and the young daughter who suffered from malnutrition . It also sheds light on the tragedy caused by the division of North and South Korea and war through the mother of the main character, Song Cheol-ho .
- The 2002 College Scholastic Ability Test and the 2019 College Scholastic Ability Test were presented.[22]
[1] The reason why the April 19 Revolution occurred later was not only because of the March 15 election fraud but also because of the economic difficulties that made life difficult for the common people.[2] Source: World History Changed by Unemployment / Written by Do Hyeon-shin / Seohae Munjip / Issued on November 25, 2017 / See pages 245-250.[3] Originally, Cheolho was working by enduring dental care that had a lot of money due to responsibility for family support, conscience and morality. However, when he heard that his brother was caught while he was robbed at the bank, his wife died during the birth, and he completely collapsed mentally and threw his family responsibility, conscience, and morality. At this time, I'm going to go to my mother who shouts "Let's go!" It is the first time to be annoyed.[4] Dental treatment, especially molars, causes a lot of bleeding. Moreover, considering the situation at the time when medical technology was poor, Cheol-ho's bleeding would have been serious.[5] At first, he tried to head home (Haebangchon), but then he remembered his wife, so he changed his destination to S Hospital, then remembered Youngho again, so he moved his destination to police station[6] In fact, there is an interpretation that the person who suffered from Cheol-ho represents his conscience, and the act of shedding blood means the conscience that still remains in Cheol-ho. According to this interpretation, Cheol-ho failed to completely abandon his conscience until the moment his life was on the verge of death.[7] In fact, since there is no mention of Cheol-ho's death anywhere in the last scene, it cannot be concluded that he is dead. However, since it is a hopeless situation in which his wife has already died, whether Cheol-ho is alive or dead has no particular meaning.[8] This is a phrase that describes a situation where there is no destination but there is a lot of work to be done (as a son, as a husband, as a father, as a brother, as a brother, and as a secretary in an actuary's office).[9] So, there is speculation that the reason why he kept trying to dissuade Young-ho from immoral ways was because he didn't want to see Myeong-suk's precedent repeated in front of him, besides his own personality.[10] In fact, the fact that Yeong-ho is ‘a human being who has not been able to shed his final conscience’ is not something that can be interpreted as ‘it could be seen that way’, but is simply a clearly stated part of the work. Youngho's ethics can be simply explained through the concept of 'line'. As you can see from the fact that Cheol-ho felt frustrated and regretful, saying, ‘Others cross the line of conscience and even the line of law to serve their own interests and live comfortably, but you can’t even cross the line of conscience and live in trouble like this,’ you can see that in Yeong-ho’s view, in the chaotic social situation after the war, conscience, morality, and duty were merely obstacles that prevented him from easily earning money and living comfortably while making profits. So, as he said, he easily crossed the legal line and started robbing, but in fact, there was another moral line called the 'line of recognition' beyond the legal line, so he could not cross that line and ended up getting caught.[11] In other words, he is a person who has given up his conscience to the point of openly committing a crime because everyone else lives for the benefit, but he says with his own mouth that he has not abandoned the 'minimum duty as a human being' (= minimum conscience) that he cannot bear to kill people with his own hands. it's a character[12] If there is room for interpretation, it is that the person who cried out, 'If you just throw away ethics and conscience, you can live comfortably', why can't he throw away his duties and responsibility for his family and continue to care about his brother, sister, mother, and sister-in-law? Or is he really a person who doesn't mind throwing away his conscience? In fact, he couldn't throw away his conscience in that he makes excuses such as 'It's so hard to live that we have no choice but to throw away our conscience and morals' and 'Everyone else is doing it, but we're the only ones losing out.' A more meaningful interpretation is that the character was forced to give up his conscience due to hardships and responsibility for his family, deceiving himself and those around him with false excuses . Even in the story, he says, 'If I build a nice Western-style house,' it is his brother's name that should be inscribed on the doorplate of the house, not his own, and what he buys when he has a little money is his niece's pretty shoes. This shows that this character is actually a person who prioritizes responsibility for his family rather than being faithful to his own desires. After being caught by the police, he let out a scary voice saying, "I should have shot him," not because he was a vicious person who thought nothing of shooting people, but rather because he shouted to his family, "You have to throw away useless things like your conscience," and ended up abandoning his conscience and morals and committing robbery. He was unable to throw away the last piece of his conscience that he always told him to throw away, and he took advantage of it, out of a sense of self-destruction that he had driven his life into further decline. There is a lot of room for it to be interpreted as a sound made out.[13] 洋公主, referring to a woman who sells herself to American soldiers. That is, she is a prostitute dealing with foreign soldiers .[14] After learning that Myeong-suk was a Yang Princess, she showed a stubborn side not to mix a word with her.[15] It was probably money given to be used for transportation and hospital expenses. It seems like a total of 20,000 won was given.[16] Ironically, however, Cheol-ho's wife, who was taken to the hospital, has already died, and Cheol-ho uses the money Myeong-suk gave him to treat his cavities. fall into a state[17] Cheol-ho's mother, who came from a landowner's family, would have had nothing to gain by remaining in her hometown. Although it appears in the novel called Viper , former landowners suffered tremendous damage from the Communist Party's land reform. And since North Korea was devastated when the Allied Forces moved north in the latter half of the Korean War, there is no good point in staying or returning to North Korea. However, from Cheol-ho's mother's perspective, she is not in a position to understand all of those things.[18] Cheolho’s mother’s ‘Let’s go!’ The real meaning of the cry is not that of wanting to return to the specific space called North Korea (Pyongan Island), but is more commonly interpreted as meaning 'I want to return to the abstract space where life was enjoyed in the good times.' Of course, the mother herself, who has gone crazy due to war and pain, does not understand the reality of division and insists on 'going back to her hometown', but the 'realistic situation of not being able to return to her hometown due to the armistice line and the North Korean regime' itself is a metaphor for 'a situation where we can no longer return to the good past'.[19] There is a mention that there was his own education. It was mentioned that he had left the E. At the time, women came to college at the time, not as much as they had, but they were from a few elites nationwide and suggested that they were in a decent position, whether they were monetary or social status until they fell into war.[20] In fact, if the fetus is in such an abnormal position and gives birth, it comes out from the arms or feet, not the head, and there is a possibility of causing a crisis to both the mother and the fetus . However, it is unknown whether Cheol-ho's wife received the surgery late or lack of obstetrics and gynecology medical skills at the time, but it seems that the cesarean section failed.[21] There is also an interpretation that Cheol-ho's daughter will die soon. It is said that when the door is closed at night, a blue line of moonlight is drawn.[22] Both were asked as a movie scenario.
