　　金泽荣以步入晚年的五十五岁之时离韩来华，其目的原因极须探究明白，此前学界多认定为“反抗日本殖民统治，为不作亡国奴”，此说颇可商榷，充其量只是离韩来华的触媒与由头。其真正的目的原因当可概括如下：自许于自己的诗文著述，渴望于自己的声名传扬，恐惧于人生的来日无多，景仰于中华的儒家文化。于是，在日本殖民侵略致使祖国每况愈下态势的刺激触发之下，来华谋求诗文著述的刊印流传，与中国文士吟咏切磋，乃至徜徉山水，而度过余生。

It deserves efforts and time to probe into the purposes and causes of Jin Ze-rong’s visit to China at the age of 55. Most scholars maintain that he came to China due to the resistance against the colonization of Japanese, but we believe this point of view is questionable and is just an accelerant. The true reasons should be as follows, namely, deeply involved into his own poems, the thirst for wider fame and reputation, the fear of the end of life and the admira-tion of Chinese Confucian culture. Therefore, under the deteriorating situation of Korea caused by Japanese colonization, he came to China so as to publish his works, to exchange views with Chinese scholars, and to spend the rest of his life in mountains and waters.
