The literature of Chosun poets in Manchuria was created in the tragic periodic situation through 'the history of Manchurian immigration'. Also, it maintains its own literary form in the history of Korean literature, in the external aspect, but its close association with Korean literature distinguishes that from other immigrant literature. Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun understood the special situation of Manchurian-Korean literature and reflected that into his works. His works, created through his deep understanding of the trend of the history of Manchurian immigration, has contributed to the development of Manchurian-Korean literature. Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun has not distinctively established the reality under colonial ruling, in the space of his work, but he kept calling our attention to the circumstances of the times. This can be seen in the fact that 'spatial circumstances and the life of characters' were identified as if they were assimilated to each other. Through this, we can see the Diaspora consciousness in the works of Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun. Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun presented the life in the gloomy and contradictory colonial reality in front. He tried to shed a new light on the life of Manchurian-Korean, through the history of immigrants. This became the very important requirements for the works and the sources to seek the independent identity. Also, he seemed to recognize the contemporary circumstances from multilateral views, not the biased view. The literature of Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun raises the questions about tradition and identify, through the tragic reality of an ethnic group. Through this, the pain and tragic life of immigrants were shaped and the Manchuria could be understood. When looking into the consciousness in the work of Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun, it can be said that the independent Diaspora consciousness for the consciousness of reality was sought through the conflict of colonial discourse. He level-headedly saw the identity in Manchuria and the problems arising from hierarchy, and his consciousness of reality was expressed through the pain from loss of humanity and oppressed consciousness. Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun tries to express the conquering the conflicts arising in the periodic situation and the confusion in the values. This brings forth the empathy in drawing the figure of substantial existence and the reality of society. It can be understood that such consciousness understands the contradictions and absurdities in the reality. The acceptance of worries about the reality is telling the value of human existence. Hyeon,Gyeong-Jun have the new understanding of people's life in his works. This shapes the life of colonial modernity independently.
