Features: In the history of modern China, no war has profoundly and enduringly influenced the destiny of the Chinese nation as the War of Resistance against Japan did; no historical event has as widely inspired the strong patriotic spirit of the people and as powerfully lifted the heroic spirit of national self-reliance as the nationwide resistance. In such a grand historical scene, many remarkable figures emerged, and Guo Moruo was one of them. Guo Moruo was not a strategist or a soldier who fought on the battlefield, but he roamed the field of anti-war culture, playing a unique role in organizing anti-war publicity and promoting the cultural united front. His personal life path also underwent significant changes as a result.
