In 1950-60s, anti-communism prevailed in Thailand. In order to effectively implement anti-communism, Thai government had anti-Chinese measures and censorship system. During that time, many Chinese Newspapers and publishers were forced to close , and some Sino-Thai writers were sent to prison. For continuing the development of Sino-Thai literature, writers had published works abroad, and Hong Kong was the main publishing place due to loose immigration policy and publishing conditions. Because of the British colonial policy and the Cold War structure, Hong Kong not only became a Chinese publishing base, but also a place of imagination for the West and consumer culture. This study tries to focus on three important and representative Sino-Thai novels, which were Chen Din’s Ladies of Sampeng Lane, Shih Qing’s Bo Zhe, and solitaire novel Feng Yu Yaowarat which were written by nine authors, discuss what kind of cultural conditions and resources does Hong Kong provide to Sino-Thai literature, and how does Sino-Thai novels respond to or imagine Hong Kong in their stories? This study regards Sino-Thai literature as a kind of Chinese literature (Hua-wen-wen-xue), which is different from the context of ‘pure Chinese’ and full of small and different Thai characteristics. Moreover, at the story level, these three novels reflect the rich faces of Sino-Thai communities, and at the publishing level, they represent the successful attempts of Sino-Thai literature to break through the predicament during the Cold War. 저

This paper is from the perspective of the modernity of the Cold War, examining and analyzing two works of Korean Chinese novels in the 1960s, “A different kind of feeling in my mind”(bie you yi fan zi wei zai xin tou） and “Yantai Story”(yan tai feng yun). Both of these two works show how Hanwha looked for self-coordinates in the changing times during the Cold War period. ‘What is the modernity’ is the dialectical issue in these novels. How do them reflect the issue from the social reality, transnational movement, utopian imagination? When modernity brings about changes in regional movement, cultural convergence, military technology, and economic activities, how do them imprint on the Korean Chinese? The overseas Chinese education policy that was born in response to the Cold War was not only a means for the regime to recruit overseas Chinese in the form of education subsidies, but also an opportunity for overseas Chinese to move across borders, engage in new trade patterns, and produce unique commodity cultures. On the other hand, when the war broke out, the confrontation between regimes became a fact. Korean Chinese learned the way of imagining China in popular novels and created an ideal utopia by this. Although it exists in the past time and space, it also embodies the helplessness of reality.
