Cho Ki-chon
While still at the Pedagogical Institute, Cho released a novel describing the anti-Japanese armed struggle. It is similar in content to his later work "Mt. Paektu". The novel might have acted as a prototype for it. In addition to poetry and poetic criticism, Cho was interested in drama. Cho contributed to the creation of a drama called "Hong Beom-do", about the revolutionary Hong Beom-do, by Tae Jang-chun and other Koreans living in the Soviet Union. "Mt. Paektu" retains elements from this work, too. He published his first poem the age of 17 in a Korean newspaper, "Sŏnbong", in Russia. Between 1930 and 1933 he wrote poems such as "The Morning of the Construction", "To the Advanced Workers", "The Military Field Study" and "Paris Commune". While still in the Soviet Union, he also wrote poems "To Rangers" and "Outdoor Practice".
