국문 초록

First Sino-Japanese War between the Qing Empire and Japan took place mainly because of the Tonghak rebellion in 1894 concerning the hegemony of Korea. Although the War did not have anything to do with the will of Korea, its battlefield was the Korean territory and it eventually shaped the future of Korea. It started on July 25, 1894 and ended on May 8, 1895 when the Treaty of Maguan was made. The War actually brought great damages on the Qing Empire, ruined its pride, and made its people suffer enormously. Furthermore, the Chinese people staying in Korea were afflicted even greater than those in their own country. During the War, it was the British Consulate in Korea that protected the Chinese and their property on behalf of the Qing government. Throughout the whole period of the War, the Chinese people could save their lives and properties due to the British Consulate s continuous care for them. The English obviously did this because of their long friendly relationship with the Qing Empire. They, however, did those favors for the Chinese people also due to promoting their national interests. The English chose China as their partner in order to check Russia and carried out those protection policy for the Chinese staying in Korea on the basis of this partnership. On the other hand, even though the English did a lot of protective works for the Chinese in Korea, the intermediary work between the British Consulate and the Chinese was done by Xu Yin-hui, a Chinese working in the British Consulate General as a staff member. He played his role on pretty much everything and did his job very well. Xu Yin-hui with his status, a staff in the British Consulate, did his best in helping the Chinese fallen behind and the merchants in Korea and dealing with the most difficult problems. It was his duty as a Chinese to be a strong support for the disappointed fellow Chinese by playing various roles and participating in numerous activities. It is obvious that he surpassed all the others in giving his best of abilities utilizing the given circumstances. Although Xu Yin-hui worked so hard to help the Chinese staying in Korea, their deviation and wrong doings made him very much embarrassed. He also used his status as a staff in the British Consulate having an access to the broad based information, and worked very faithfully as an agent for the Qing government. In Pyungyang Battle, the largest and the most crucial battle in determining the winner, one of the reasons for the Chinese army s defeat was the lack of leadership in the Chinese army as well as the insufficient cooperation between the Qing government and the people.
