한국 독립운동을 지원한 공로로 서훈을 받은 중국 국적 독립유공자들은 대부분 중국국민당 계열 인사로 분류할 수 있다. 수많은 한인들이 중국으로 건너가 독립운동을 전개하는 과정에서 국민당이 오랜 기간 한국독립운동을 지원ㆍ지지한 것은 사실이지만, 한국 독립운동을 지원한 중국인은 다양한 결을 가지고 있었다. 그러나 국민당 계열 이외의 인사와활동은 상대적으로 알려지지 않았고 국민당의 지원 전체가 곧 대한민국 임시정부에 대한 지원으로 이해되는 경향도 적지 않았다. 이 논문은 이러한 문제의식을 바탕으로 그간 주목받지 못했던 중국인 독립유공자 세명을 선정하고 그들의 한국 독립운동 지원 활동을 살펴보았다. 국민당계열 인물이지만 사회주의ㆍ아나키즘 성향을 가진 한인 독립운동가들과도 함께 활동했던 황줴(黃覺)는 국민당이라는 틀에서 벗어나 한 인물의 다양한 활동을 적극적으로 평가할 필요성을 보여준다. 두쥔훼이(杜君 慧)를 통해서는 누군가의 아내나 보조자가 아니라 또 한 명의 ‘온전한’ 독립운동가로서의 위상을 찾아줄 필요가 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 쓰투더(司徒德)와 중한문화협회는 국민당의 한국 독립운동 지원을 현대 한중관계라는 더 큰 시야 속에서 분석할 수 있음을 시사한다. 이들의 면면을분석하는 작업은 중국인들의 한국 독립운동 지원 전체상을 새롭게 조망하는 데 일조하고, 나아가 한국 독립운동에 협력했지만 알려지지 않은중국인 발굴에도 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
Most of the Chinese independence patriots, who were honored for their support of the Korean independence movement, were known as Guomindang affiliates. In the process of numerous Koreans moving to China and supporting the Korean independence movement, the Guomindang had long supported the movement. However, the Chinese who helped the Korean independence movement came from various backgrounds and contexts; personnel and activities outside the Guomindang were relatively unknown. Also, there has been a tendency to regard the support of the Guomindang as support for the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. In this regard, the current study selected three Chinese independence patriots who have not been acknowledged to date and examined their support activities for the Korean independence movement. Huang Jue (黃覺), who was a member of the Guomindang but worked with socialism-and anarchism-oriented Korean independence activists demonstrated the need to actively evaluate various practices of a person beyond the framework of the Guomindang. The case of Du Junhui (杜君慧) called for the necessity to appreciate an independent activist as a ‘full’ figure, rather than as someone's wife or assistant. Finally, Si Tude (司徒德) and the China-Korea Culture Association suggested that the support of the Guomindang’s independence movement of Korea could be analyzed in a larger framework of modern Korea-China relations. These examples can provide a new view of the Chinese people’s overall support for the Korean independence movement, and further contribute to discovering the existence of unacknowledged Chinese who cooperated with the Korean independence movement.
