Death of a Crow (1957) marked the beginning of his campaign as his leading work and the one that earned him recognition. By writing about the uprising, he delved into history and human problems. Chronicling a variety of lives in the event was also how he gained understanding of this world."Bak-seobang, Jailer," "Death of a Crow," and "Gwandeokjeong," a series of closely intertwined works in this book, depict Jeju amid the massacre that lasted for about a year from summer 1948; "Death of a Crow" and "Gwandeokjeong" are about the same person. Though "Feces and Freedom" and "A Tale of a False Dream" did not deal with the uprising directly, they show why the author studied the massacre and his opinions of it.
