In this presentation\, I will discuss a key f igure\, Kang Shijue\, a Ming soldier who fought against Nurhaci in Liaod ong\, who took refuge in Chosŏn in the 1630s.

Chosŏn Korea is often described simultaneously as closed to the outside world and Sinoc entric. However, as I discuss in my monograph there are numerous ca ses of foreigners settling in Chosŏn until the 1644, and no evidence tha t being of Chinese origin helped or hurt one's social status. In thi s presentation, I will discuss a key figure, Kang Shijue, a Ming soldier who fought against Nurhaci in Liaodong, who took refuge in Chosŏn in th e 1630s. His interaction with the Choson state is informative for unders tanding the Chosŏn state's approach to its frontiers, frontier peopl es, and foreigners.
