In this study the characteristic of colonial modernity in Gunsan is closely examined through the ordinary family life of a junior official, Jeong. In chapter 2, by paying attention to the precise geographical explanation of Geumgang valley described in Takryu, the symbolism of the landscape of Gunsan is examined. It was easy for the triangular shaped river of Gunsan located on Geumgang coast line to collect rice produced in a representative granary in the Honam area and send it to Osaka; therefore Gunsan was developed as a port city which was able to incarnate the realization of Japanese capitalism. In chapter 3, how Gunsan was planned as a city will be illuminated. Using the city map of Gunsan-bu made in 1933, it is possible to examine the spacial bisection of the center of Gunsan. In chapter 4, through the examination of ‘dunbaemi’ a Korean residential district, the Japanese aim to unify Japan and Joseon has been found to be fraudulent. The Korean residential district full of disease and illiteracy was a result of the Japanese plan not to include but to exclude the residents of Gunsan into her population. In chapter 5, by analysing the speculative rice market which mass-produced weak and obedient people who could never criticize the colonial reality, the process by which Koreans trapped in the mechanism of money were enslaved to the shallow mammonism is critically scrutinized. In chapter 6, Japanese strategies were found in the field of education in Gunsan. The school in the colonial district was to make Koreans outsiders. In chapter 7, by examining the area in which various cultures converge, the ideology of equal consumption which makes people enjoy the wealth the modern techniques brought in was proved only as propaganda. Looking through the various industries of housing, labour, education, and consumption, the treaty port Gunsan was lacking a western style of modern democracy and the liberating modernity to achieve development and progress. Therefore it only experienced a distorted modernization procedure in which technical modernity prevailed. Despite a lack of comfortable houses, promising workplaces, schools which led to the development and freedom of each individual, and ‘the markets and the amusement center’ which were founded on the ideology of equality, Gyaebong, one of the main characters of the novel, exposed the colonial modernity and resisted to the technical modernity in Takryu. The novelist Chae, Mansik described how the planned and constructed modern spaces pressed the activities and consciousness of the people in Gunsan and suggested strongly that the way to get out of the colonial modernity be found in the modernity of liberation.
