This is a short story by Kim Sa-ryang, which was nominated for the 6th Akutagawa Prize in 1940. It addresses the issue of “mixed race” in the Japanese colonial period and Korean intellectuals struggling with national contempt and oppression

이 작품은 1940년 제6회 아쿠다가와상의 후보작에 오른 김사량의 단편이다. 일제강점기의 '혼혈'의 문제와 민족적 멸시와 억압에서 허덕이는 지식인의 모습을 다루고 있다.
