Abstract

This paper focuses on how the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army(PVR) is represented in North Korea’s wartime literature and post-war literature, paying attention to the fact that PVR has formed an axis in the history of the Korean War and the Cold War. During the war, North Korean poetry described PVR as comrades and brothers. At the same time, by emphasizing the fact that North Korea provided aid during Chinese Civil War, it was clear that China’s Anti-US Aid was not a one-sided aid. Poems created at the time of the withdrawal of troops in 1958 chronologically weave the history of friendship between North Korea and China, and they performed a theatrical performance that staged the farewell by singing a dramatic farewell to the PVR. This was close to the paradox of welcoming farewells by organizing North Korea’s memories and experiences of PVR. After China’s Cultural Revolution and the revisionist debate in 1966, the blood alliance with China was maintained, but the literary representation was stopped. The change in the literary representation of PVR can be seen as reflecting North Korea’s political variables, changes in the relationship between the two countries, and the context of North Korea’s perception of China(PVR), which can be called a metonymy of affection of North Korea-China relations.
