Directly after Liberation The Colonial Memory usually spilt into two directions -'Self-Criticism' and 'Self-Justification'. In This Paper 'Self-Criticism' was analysed as a self reflection performed by characters in Kim-Nam Cheon's Works (August 15, 1945, Independence Movement in One Day March, October) The Titles of Theses Works Suggest Historical time and Historical space. Those were 'Places of Memory', created by Pierre Nora, as Traces of Memories which revealed national identity. In theses works Kim-Nam Cheon created Young people with different experiences and career. They must establish identity for new lives. Life in colony had left indelible scars over all generations therefore It was impossible to start a new life without cleaning the wound from the past. Young people who considered to be flawless had received a lot of expectations from the older generation. But the Writer took a strict yardstick to them. Therefore the memory of Independence Movement in One Day March, record of pain and joy, Hakbyeong Experience, homecomming and People's Uprising became the main point of reflections.
