The Japanese invasion expelled Korean people from their country and forced them to flow into Japan and struggle for survival. In the meanwhile, they dreamed of returning home. This paper is directed toward examining heartbreaking desire of such people.
1. Examined has been the oral statements by Yang, Su-seon and Jeong, seung- bak, which typically depict the process of being exploited and expelled. Particularly, Jeong\'s oral statement gives a picturesque description not only of the Japanese government, police, curb loan dealers conspiring together to carry out combined operations of exploitation, but also of people who had their life base taken away flowing into Japan.
2. Examined has been A Story of Wanderingby Kim, Mun-seon, a verbal record that depicts a wanderer\'s agony and reality of survival. The ending part of his work strongly exposes a voice of anger. This anger is identified as deep- rooted rancor of average ethnic Koreans in Japan, beyond his individual rancor, and the manifestation of life force strong enough to enable them to overcome the rancor and survive. In other words, it means that his work provides a chance to experience the extended emotional sympathy based on epic truth.
3. As for the overlapping of divided ethnic Koreans and their nostalgia, examined has been a case of a family of ethnic Korean families with a hometown in South Korea who is suffering from a double agony due to the repatriation to the North. Park, Jae-su, who is the author and protagonist of Half a Century\'s Search for Homewas internalizing such a suffering under the pretext of ‘An Account of a Father\'s Visit to his Hometown to show to his daughter in North Korea.’
4. Our family of Three Generationsis a story about a sister who lived an ethnic Korean in Japan during the Japanese rule before she returned home shortly after the liberation and her brother who still lives in Japan. This story about a separated family shows that the distance of nostalgia is a undeniable reality hardly to narrow.
The author hopes that the data research and study of the oral literature by ethnic Koreans in Japan will be actively done, and would appreciate it if fellow scholars gave him any advice.
