About This Novel

"Wind Wave" was created in 1963 and is based on the two failed battles of Mongolia to conquer Japan in the early Yuan Dynasty, namely the Battle of Wenyong and Hong'an. The story unfolds from the perspective of the King of Goryeo. After the Mongols conquered Goryeo, they wanted to use it as a springboard to conquer Japan, but they encountered obstacles. However, Kublai Khan did not give up, and he still did not hesitate to increase the burden on Goryeo and prepare for the Eastern Expedition. Goryeo went through two dynasties, Wonjong and King Chungryeol, and the whole country suffered from the Eastern Expedition. The surrounding fields are in ruins, and the people are in dire straits. However, the two Eastern Expeditions ended in failure, which finally put the Eastern Expedition on hold and allowed Goryeo to relieve itself of the heavy burden imposed by the Yuan Dynasty. Although the novel uses the era of these two battles as the historical background, it does not describe the battles themselves at all. All the ink is focused on the dealings between the King of Goryeo and his subjects and the Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the sufferings suffered by the Goryeo people. The title of the work comes from a sentence in the edict issued by Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, to the Goryeo Kingdom: "Don't use the danger of the storm as an excuse." Its purpose is to urge Goryeo not to shirk the responsibility of sending an envoy to Japan, but to assume the responsibility of being the vanguard of the invasion of Japan. The word "wind and wave" is also a key word that connects the whole text. It was wind and waves that stirred up in the sea between the envoys and the Japanese rulers. It was wind and waves that led to the destruction of the Yuan army in the Eastern Expedition. It was also wind and waves that the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty provoked many incidents against the kings and ministers of Goryeo. It can be said that the whole work is filled with waves of stormy waves.
