Features: From 1937 to 1945, a unique Chinese cartoon movement known as "Anti-War Cartoons" emerged. At that time, a group of renowned cartoonists in China were still young, in their twenties or thirties. Facing the national crisis caused by Japanese aggression, they joined the Anti-Japanese War. To expose the atrocities of the Japanese invaders and mobilize the entire nation for the war of resistance, cartoonists organized cartoon teams to publish Anti-War Cartoon publications, held anti-war cartoon traveling exhibitions, and created numerous vivid and moving cartoons with their pens as weapons. This book collects only a portion of these cartoons. "Anti-War Cartoons" was an important publication during the war of resistance, marking a milestone in the history of Chinese cartoon movement. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Japanese War. Reprinting these cartoon publications, which were created, compiled, and published during that time for the "brutal cartoon war" in the fight for national salvation, holds certain historical value and significance. This book includes 11 issues of the five-day publication "Save the Nation Cartoons" and 15 issues of the half-monthly "Anti-War Cartoons" (including three reprinted issues), presenting a comprehensive view of the situation during the war of resistance and boosting the confidence of the people in fighting for the final victory in the war. "Save the Nation Cartoons" and "Anti-War Cartoons" were important publications during the war of resistance, marking a milestone in the history of Chinese cartoon movement. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Japanese War.
