Features: The series attempts to examine and reflect on the Japanese invasion of China from a deep cultural perspective, combining historical analysis with research on Japanese right-wing scholars and cultural figures who collaborated with the Japanese invasion forces in China to implement various "cultural wars": ideological propaganda warfare, academic intelligence warfare, brainwashing education warfare, news and public opinion warfare, language and cultural warfare, religious and cultural warfare, literary and artistic warfare, etc. The series reveals through a large amount of first-hand materials the cultural aggression that preceded military and economic aggression, which was actually a "second battlefield" opened by Japan in China, aimed at promoting the "Imperial State concept" and undermining the national concept and ethnic consciousness of the Chinese nation. Their various "cultural wars" across different cultural fields, as well as some specific practices in argumentation, planning, organization, and implementation, are not only shocking but also leave much to reflect upon.
