This article analyzes how North Korean writers depict the Chinese Volunteers in the Korean War through the short stories ‘Unforgotten Memory’, ‘Son’, ‘In Blizzard’, and ‘On the Slowly Bridge’ in the anthology The Brother published in 1984. These four stories reflect the realities of the 1980s, including the expansion of the Sino-Korean Friendship Tower in North Korea and the story of the ‘Bellflower Girl’. They offer insights into North Korea's historical memory of Chinese support during the Korean War and their official attitudes towards North Korea-China relations in the early 1980s, presented within the realm of literature. The analysis of the texts revealed that the four works displayed distinct typification and consistency in their creative techniques and the construction of images portraying the Chinese volunteers. Firstly, the texts portray the socialist alliance between North Korea and China through the narrative of familial love, presenting a textual character of ‘family reconstruction’ between the main characters, who are Chinese volunteer soldiers, and the North Korean people. Secondly, the texts emphasize heroic narratives, portraying all Chinese Volunteer soldier characters as courageous figures with a revolutionary spirit of optimism, unafraid to confront danger. Thirdly, the texts consistently uphold the ideology of internationalism inherited from the time of the Anti-Japanese War, while also reflecting the North Korean writers' alien imagination of China as a country outside of Korean peninsula. In the four stories of The Brother, the Chinese volunteer soldiers assume a special role for humanistic exchanges between North Korea and China, embodying the image of friends who safeguard North Korea, practitioners of internationalism, and contributors to the friendship between North Korea and China. This offers insights into the collective memory of Chinese assistance to North Korea against the United States during Korean War within North Korean society during the early 1980s.
