학도병 환송장면
http://study21.org/vod/815/farewell.htm
대부분의 조선 청년들은 일제 시대 말기에 일본군에 입대하여야 했다.
미국이 조선을 독립시켜 주기 위해 일본군과 싸우는데.
그 미군을 공격하기 위해 학도병으로 떠나는 조선 청년들의 모습에서
우리는 식민지 백성의 비애와 삶의 고달픔을 본다.
게다가 열차 타고 떠나는 장병들이나 환송하는 이들이나 한결같이 일장기를 흔들고 있으니
나라 빼앗긴 백성의 설움이 오죽이나 컸겠는가? 식민지 조선 청년들은 육사진학은커녕 군인이 될 수도 없었는데,
1937년 중일전쟁 발발 이후 조선 국방은 조선인 병사들에게 맡기기 위해 1938년부터 조선인 입대 지원을 받았다.
군대에 갈 자격 요건이 안되었던 식민지 백성에게 마침내 군 입대의 길이 열렸으니,
1940년대 초에는 군인이 되는 것이 신분 상승처럼 여겨지는 분위기가 있었으리라.
수십 년간 군 입대가 허용되지 않던 조선 청년들에게 군 입대의 문호가 열린 것은
마치 신분 차별의 딱지가 떨어지는 것과 같은 의미로 받아들여졌던 것이다.
지금 우리가 보기에 조선 청년들의 일본군 입대는 비애이지만
1943년 학도병제가 처음 실시되었을 때 지원자들이 있었던 데에는 그런 분위기의 작용이 있었으리라.
그러나, 1945년 초에 징병이 실시되자 분위기가 확 바뀌어 징병 기피를 위한 몸부림이 있게 되었다

Seung-Hee Choi (1911.11.24 - 1969.8.8, Korean; 최승희), also known by the Japanese pronunciation of her name, Sai Shoki, was one of the famous leading Korean modern dancer. She was born into an upper-class family in Seoul, Korea, during the Japanese occupation era.
After graduating from Sookmyung High School at the age of fifteen, she went against her father's wishes to study law and started to study dancing and choreography under the famous Japanese modern dancer Baku Ishii. During her study in Ishii's Dancing Institute, she distinguished herself as one of the most talented dancers. She developed her own modern dances inspired by Korean folk dances, which had been considered as lowly works in the past. She was supported by Japanese intellectuals including Yasunari Kawabata (Winner of 1968 Nobel Prize for Literature), who became her economic sponser since 1934 and even wrote a short story based on her character, "The Dancer".
In 1929, she declared her independence from Ishii Institute and made her own Institute in Seoul. During the 1930s, she became one of the most regarded artists in Korean society. She married Mak Ahn (Korean; 안막), a communist and a notable playwright, in 1931. Choi's daughter, Sung-Hee Ahn, (Korean; 안성희) also became a famous dancer in 1950s.
In 1936, Choi starred in a semi- documentary film called "Dancer of the (Korean) Peninsula(Korean; 반도의 무희)", which was continuatively shown in the theater for later 4 years. From 1934, she made many performances in Japan, China, U.S, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Argentina. She also served as a judge in the Second International Dance Concourse in Brussels in 1939. She made acquaintances with many world-famous artists, actors, and writers, including Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Henry Matisse, Chou En-lai, Martha Graham, John Steinbeck, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, Robert Taylor, and so on.
After the World War II outbroke, however, her career became quite controversal. It is known that she made performances for 'consolatoring Japanese army' from 1942 to 1944. (She later claimed that she was forced to do these performances by the Japanese government.) After the war is over, she was blamed as a "Fascist artist" or even a "Traitor" among the South Koreans for this consolatoring performances.
In 1946, She went to North Korea with her husband who got important posts in the North Korean communist government. For this, the South Korean government prohibited to perform any of her choreography works and even to mention her name, and this prohibition lasted until 1989.
During the 1950s, she re-opened her Institute again in Pyoungyang and teached many pupils with her daughter. After the Dictatorship of the North Korea became firm, however, she was purged by the party for criticizing Kim Il-Sung's dictatorship, and disappeared in the 1960s.
In February 2003, she was rehabilitated and utilized for propaganda by North Korea, and the North Korean government announced that she died in 1969, at the age of 58.
Choi was also an amateur jazz musician.( and a potter) She recorded few songs with Taihei Phonograph company in 1932, and this recording was recorded in 1936 for Japan Columbia. She sings a short song with the original score of R. Erwin's "A Garden in Italy" (I didn't have any chance to listen the original score. If there is anyone who have the original orchestral piece recording, please let me know), accompanied by Columbia Tango Band.
Played on my Numark machine with an Audio-Technica cartridge. Originally, In the Side B, Choi recorded a song called "A Dancer in Nostalgic mood(Korean; 향수의 무희)", a song composed & lyrics by herself, but as the grooves are idling, I can't play or record them.
