The face of the other in latest Korean literature is overlapped with a past memory of Korean diaspora who suffered in foreign country as the other. The novel of Manchu immigrants projects colonial unconsciousness by representing the other nation as an anti-ethical figure, but the latest Korean novel expresses secret and unconscious desire of pseudo-imperialism while
presenting the other nation as an ethical figure. Chinese-Korean literature has its meaning even today since it represents the existence of the other. In other words, ‘we’ continue to identify ‘nature of myself’ of the other and the desire of pseudo-imperialism within
‘ourselves’ since the presence of the same national but the other at the same time exists in front of ‘us’. Also, this literature can be an example to demonstrate that a diaspora narration can advance to narration of ethical subject formation as it contains the establishment of ‘nature of myself’ and the ethics of self-examination. We can get a chance to look at the recent
trend of Chinese-Korean literature by reviewing work in 『Yeonbyun Munhak』, a paper of Yeonbyun chapter in Chinese Writers’ Association.
