This book examines the development of wartime culture in the city
of Guilin, Guangxi Province, in southwestern China during a major
part of the country's war of resistance against Japanese invasion
between 1938 and 1944. This study challenges existing
historiography on China's wartime culture at three levels. First,
the Guangxi warlord group played a crucial role in maintaining
regional security, providing a liberalized political environment
for wartime cultural activities and facilitating wartime
nationalist-communist relations at both local and national levels.
Second, wartime culture was more literary than political and it
reflected a powerful intellectual vigor that was an indispensable
component of China's war efforts. Intellectuals of different social
and political backgrounds were their own "organic" selves feeling
no pressure to come to intellectual consensus in literary
production. Third, wartime culture was characterized by the active
participation of many international groups, political
organizations, and foreign individuals. The literary works produced
in Guilin between 1938 and 1944 clearly reflected a combination of
Chinese national and international anti-fascist and anti-military
sentiment. Chinese literary masterpieces were translated into
different foreign languages and noted foreign literature and
political works were introduced to Chinese audiences through
various cultural and political exchange programs in the city.
