This article focuses on the experience of a short stay in Beijing by the Korean writer Kim Sa-ryang(1914-1950?)on his way to escape from Japan and head for the Taihang Mountain region of China to participate in the Anti-Japanese revolution in 1945. According to the records of the Japanese writer Nakazono Eisuke, in May 1945, Kim Sa-ryang, who was about to leave the Japanese-occupied area, chanced to meet Nakazono, who was then a reporter of the Beijing Japanese newspaper East Asian News, at the Beijing Hotel. The two drank freely and talked deeply all night, which left an indelible mark in Nakazono's wartime memory and literary career. Kim Sa-ryang was a very important and special Korean writer in wartime Japan and his Japanese novel In the Light (1939) was once nominated for the Akutagawa Prize. He went to China's liberated areas to participate in the Anti-Japanese revolution in 1945, and reportedly died in the Korean War in 1950. Although Kim Sa-ryang and Nakazono Eisuke only talked for one night in Beijing, the latter had been repeatedly writing about the former in his novels, essays and memoirs from the early postwar period to the 2000s. Therefore, this article will comprehensively review the writings of Kim Sa-ryang by Nakazono Eisuke, analyze the image of Kim Sa-ryang described by Nakazono Eisuke by making reference to the relevant discussions of Korean literature researchers and literary critics Ahn Woosik and Paek Cheol, and then explore the heterogeneous “Korean experience” obtained by Nakazono Eisuke as a witness of the “All Black Age” in the history of literature in enemy-occupied Beijing.
