About Shang Yue
- Shang Yue (Chinese: ??; pinyin: Shàng Yuè; Wade–Giles: Shang Yüeh; 1902 – January 6, 1982), rendered as Sang Wol (Korean: ??) in Korean, was a Chinese Marxist economic historian, author and professor at the School of History at Renmin University of China.
- Before becoming a historian, he also wrote fiction.
- He taught literature to Kim Il-sung for a short time at Yuwen Middle School in Manchuria.
- In China, he is primarily known for his work on the idea of the sprouts of capitalism: that proto-capitalism and class struggle had existed in the earlier Chinese history.
- His purge in 1958 foreshadowed the Chinese Cultural Revolution as his ideas on Chinese economic history conflicted with those of Mao Zedong.
- After his purge he continued to work on history, but stayed out of public until Mao's death in 1976.
- His work also gave a lasting effect in Korean nationalist historiography.
