[Chae Man Sik Memorial Hall]

  • A novelist, Chae Man Sik, was born in Impi-myeon, Gunsan, in 1902, when the people made a poor living in unrest under the western imperialism. His literary work reflects the reality in those days and criticizes the social circumstance by describing the peasantry suffering from poverty, the intellectuals full of distress, and the ruined people of the lower classes.
    Muddy Water published in 1937, one of his most important works, is the masterpiece describing the realistic sorrow of the people in this part of the country under the colonial rule of Japan in 1930's. The background of the novel is Gunsan, and comprehends the corrupt society in those days, and Chae Man Sik is recognized as a master of the satirical techniques and modern realism.
    Chae Man Sik Memorial Hall established in honor of his achievement in literature gives his literary works at a glance.
