A Study on the Diaspora and Identity of Korean Chinese People (Chaoxianzu) in Movies - Focusing on Zhanglǜ and his Movies - Park, Lo-Jong․Ko, Hyun-Chul Korean Chinese people in China as we currently call compatriots in China as a whole have been highlighted as a new group in East Asia. They have now become a representative example of immigration and border crossing over their prior abodes in the present from the phenomenal recognition on Chinese in the past, who immigrated into China and have lived there and minor ethnics in China. Gradually, they have been pointed to be one of social phenomena while forming their independent communities. This essay selects Zhanglǜ who has been known as a first Korean Chinese cinema director to study their diaspora and identity through this changing topography of Korean Chinese people, while aiming at studying the consciousness of these problems through his movies. A cinema director Zhanglǜ is a figure on many contacts and his images represent his positioning very well in such a way. It can be considered that his movies have been already accepted universally in the categories of Korean movies and he has accumulated aesthetic layers of Zhanglv movies in his creative styles in the history of Korean movies. For Zhanglǜ, it can be said that various images in world citizens are crossed over the identity of refugees and their boundaries from faces of immigrants who are living in alien lands. Amidst various calls such as Korean Chinese people, Chinese people and minor ethnics, we can see that he has transfused his diaspora in a very dynamic way to create a new form of cultural consciousness in East Asia. In addition, he has drawn the aspects of identity to the inside of consciousness in our life over the political prejudice in a very sharp way and has purified it in a realistic manner through his movies, while he is not limiting to his identity. It is true because we may acknowledge that he has been embodying the spirit of the East Asian life called humanism over the acquired distinction on boundaries called the language, people and national territory.
