Title: Red Bin Author: Baek Shin-ae Reading: Yeo-on ***Author's description - Baek Shin-ae was a novelist who wrote "My Mother," "Kkeorae-i," and "Red Bin" during the Japanese colonial period. Her childhood name was Mu-jam (武簪), and her family register name was Baek Mu-dong (白戊東). She was born in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. She studied Chinese characters and lecture notes from girls' schools as a child, and later graduated from the lecture course at Daegu Normal School. After working as a teacher at Yeongcheon Public Elementary School, she worked as a teacher at Jain Public Elementary School (玆仁公立普通學校) until it was discovered that she had joined the Women's Association (女性同友會) and the Women's Youth League (女子靑年同盟), and she was dismissed. Around this time, she visited Vladivostok, Russia. She made her literary debut in 1929 by publishing “My Mother” in the Chosun Ilbo under the pen name Park Gye-hwa. The following year, she went to Japan and enrolled in the Department of Art at Nihon University. After returning to Korea in 1932, she married, but divorced. Starting around 1934, she devoted herself to writing and published a considerable number of works. Among them, “Kkeoraei” (1934), which depicts the tragic situation of Koreans crossing the Russian border, and “Jeokbin” (1934), which depicts the sorrows of two extremely poor daughters-in-law, especially the “old man of Maechon’s house” who runs around to give birth, are said to be works that secured her own kind of female realism. She also traveled to Shanghai, China in 1938, but passed away the following year from worsening gastrointestinal disease.
