Yekwan(睨觀) Shin Gyushik(申圭植) was an outstanding politician who escaped Japanese colonial rule, fled to China, where the Chinese revolution was in full swing. He communicated with Chinese revolutionaries and participated in their revolutionary projects, gaining friendship and cooperation. His collection of Chinese poems, “Ah mok lu(兒目淚)”, contains the history of the tearful independence movement that overcame difficult times while interacting and communicating with Korean and Chinese friends. This article was attempted to recreate the traces of his passion, conflict, and frustration that remained intact in his poetical works of “Ah mok lu(兒目淚)”, and was discussed in three specific steps.
First of all, through the works of “Ah mok lu” and other materials, a set of criteria was prepared to specify the timing of each work’s production. In accordance with this criterion, we have identified the background and timing of production of works that were not covered in existing studies, correcting and supplementing errors in previous research results. Based on this, the works of the first half of exile were chronologically arranged, and the literary techniques, formal characteristics, origins of the works were analyzed, identifying the reality of the events he experienced in exile and the emotions he felt.
