The anarchist and anti-Japanese soldier, Lee Dal(1910-1942) who was the member of the South China Korean Youth League and the Korean volunteer corps, wrote many articles for Chinese and Korean publications. His most noted works were critiques about modern Chinese literature on Korean publications from Jan. 1935 to the Spring of 1936. Focusing on Ba Jin’s collection of short stories, Revenge, he wrote a critique about Ba Jin(巴金)’s attitude of writing. Instead of emphasizing the noble sacrifices made in war, Lee Dal pursued human justice and humanity beyond the narrow scope of nationalism or distorted patriotism. He had high regards for Guo Mo-ruo(郭沫若)’s rebellious spirit as an enlightening light and indomitable spirit in dark times. But he criticized severely Mao Dun(茅盾)’s trilogy, Disillusionment, Disturbance, Persuit. He claimed that Mao Dun’s writings sowed seeds of depression and disillusionment among young readers. And Lee Dal emphasized that profound significance in life could only be found through strenuous efforts. As an anarchist and anti-Japanese soldier, Lee Dal spent his whole life pursuing a free and equal society and wholly devoted himself to the independence of his nation.
