Wealth is one of ways to change one's social status in the novel. Wealth has given Hansu a great deal of freedom in his life; he is the only one of the Koreans who can dictate what happens to him in Japan. Mozasu later follows suit, accumulating immense wealth. However, neither of these men are well-respected, despite their wealth; they are thought of as criminals because of their professions.
