Plot

Park Yeo-sun is in danger of losing her job as a tutor at the home of the wealthy Kim Jae-dang. Kim Gyeong-jae helps Yeo-sun get a job at the textile factory run by Ahn Jung-seo. This brings Gyeong-jae and Yeo-sun close, but they break up due to objections from those around them, and Gyeong-jae marries Ahn's daughter, Hyeon-ok. Afterward, Yeo-soon becomes close to Jun-sik, the leader of the factory union, and she acts in concert with him. Jun-sik rushes to the factory president's office with other workers to protest the company's unfair treatment of its laborers. There, they face Kyeong-jae, who is in the president's office.

This novel was serialized in The Chosun Ilbo from February 5 to October 28, 1936. It is largely divided into two sections: the former focuses on the love and conflict of the youth, while the latter addresses the conflict between laborers and capitalists. The novel provides a comprehensive description of the reality of colonial Korea with a focus on capitalists, intellectuals, and laborers.

1936년 2월 5일부터 같은 해 10월 28일까지 <조선일보>에 연재되었다. 이 작품은 청년들의 연애 갈등을 다루는 전반부와 노동자와 자본가의 대립을 다루는 후반부로 구성되어 있다. 자본가, 지식인, 노동자에 초점을 맞추어 식민지 조선의 현실을 총체적으로 묘사하고 있다는 평가를 받는다.
