Abstract
This study analyzed the appearance of people living in Kinmen Island and its times and places in the artist's memory, which was fragmented in Wu Jun-yao's prose collection “Kinmen.” And through this, by exploring how the author signs Kinmen Island, he attempts to find various understandings of Kinmen Island. The shape of Geummundo Island, which appears fragmented in Wu Jun-yao's Kinmen, can be divided into three main categories. First, the artist embodies 'Kinmen Island as a space for war and daily life’ by describing the daily acceptance of military controls such as curfew and blackout as well as the appearance of Kinmen residents running around using military facilities as a playground. Second, the artist confesses to the poverty and ignorance of the people of Kinmen Island, anxiety about survival, and sorrow as a broken generation throughout the work. And through this, it creates the shape of 'Kinmen Island as a space for inferiority complex'. Third, Wu Jun-yao depicts 'Kinmen Island as a space of other and death' by recreating the lives and deaths of several soldiers who lived in the contemporary era in a space called Kinmen Island.
