Dongju Page #4

is tearing up Manchuria!

I thought you joined the Communist Party.

Don't you know what the

Communists have been up to?

They set fire to houses in our hometown.

Killed innocent schoolteachers

with bamboo spears.

Ideologies where you stab

your own people to death?

I want no part of it.

The Japanese will start

drafting Korean students, too.

What are you going to do?

Killing one or two Japanese

soldiers won't make a difference.

But graduating a military school...

You'd likely end up a human

shield in Chiang's army.

Mong Gyu, how about you go with me...

to Seoul?

What?

Even father would like it

if I went to Yonhi College.

North Gando is rife with

independence fighters.

You bastards were born and raised there.

No surprise you were

full of seditious ideas.

Are you...

interrogating me...

or fabricating a case?

Have you read his writings?

Sure.

Do you think someone who writes

like that could be an assassin?

Your poems are enough to make

us suspect your ideologies.

Lighting a lamp to drive

out the darkness a bit.

The last me awaits the morning

to come forth like an era.

You write such poetry so easily.

Your attitude towards the

world is clearly readable.

Am I wrong?

An old doctor does not know

the illness of the young.

He says nothing is wrong with me.

This unsupportable ordeal,

this unbearable fatigue.

I should not get angry.

Why do you insist on liberal arts

when studying is so expensive?

For that much money, you

should become a doctor.

That's enough now.

No point bringing it up again

when it's all been decided.

Buckwheat pancakes for when you get hungry.

- Hurry up!

- Coming!

Thank you. I'll eat it all myself.

Take care.

Dong Ju!

Put your Yonhi College hat on.

The whole village knows

even if I don't wear it.

Go ahead, he wants to see you wearing it.

Put it on quick!

Take care!

"The New Way"

Crossing the stream to the forest,

crossing a pass to the village.

This is my way

that I walked yesterday

and I will walk today.

My new way.

You bastard, did you

bring nothing but books?

What's wrong with books?

Our poet Yun will place first in class!

First at Yonhi.

Here.

You must be the new

students from North Gando.

- How do you do?

- Take it easy.

Don't be so formal. We're the same age.

My name is Kang Cheo Jung

from Wonsan, Hamgyung-do.

I'm in the next room.

- I'm Song Mong Gyu.

- Mong Gyu.

- My name's Yun Dong Ju.

- Dong Ju.

Are you sure we're the same age?

Do I look old? I turned 23 this year.

Look, Cheo Jung.

Let's make a magazine like this.

- A magazine?

- Yes.

A literary magazine.

Dong Ju.

Dong Ju.

Hey, Yun Dong Ju!

- What?

- Are you sleeping?

Read this.
